I think I'm going to start collecting these "Google+ is dead!" articles. It'll be fun to look back at them someday.

I can understand that Greg doesn't want to be identified, but I would love to know a little more about him and what he does to make a little more sense of this.

I like Obama (for the most part), but he is the king of this. At town halls, even when he gets a coherent question, he'll go into "let me explain the situation to you rubes" for so long that when he's done talking he's only explained the pr

Exactly. At least they let you know that they have the data and the opt-out was easy enough (I also did it). Organizations share gtheir mailing lists ALL THE TIME. If I pay a membership to museum for a year, I suddenly have five similar m

You're right, but they also weren't created in a vacuum. There must have been something behind the idea that it got to the point that Hollywood would make a movie about it. And these aren't the only two cornerstones, for some reason David

Oh no doubt there's new bands that come out now that won't resonate with me like they would in my college days and there's plenty of things that "the kids" are doing now that I don't understand or care about. But there's so much to learn a

It's funny- when I was young (I'm Generation Y I guess) I watched "Reality Bites" and read Coupland's "Generation X" and thought "how can they be so complacent and moody? Isn't there more to life?" Maybe it's because of the internet but t

So you need a Google account to login? That's going to be a problem. At my college Blackboard isn't tied in to the administrative processes (there's another system for that), so hopefully they will consider this. "Free" is a word that the

I think you're partially right about the struggle in NYC. But here in Philadelphia there are a lot of homeless people getting fed at the camp and plenty of working class and poor folks. A lot more diversity. Certainly there's privilege in

Some would say that this is exactly how capitalism is supposed to lead and that we're in the late stages now. It optimizes and creates new products/markets until it eats itself. If these protests continue to build, I can see them as really

This is correct and I can't imagine that Netflix didn't think of this as well. I think what we (well, I) don't know are Netflix's costs for DVD rentals compared to streaming and how that will look in the future especially with the studios a

I know you're just using it as comparison, but didn't the Iraq War start in 2003? And if this[1] is to be believed, the total cost of the war is ranging around $3.2-4 trillion. That's thirteen and a third years of your $300 billion scenari
