that's true, I guess it would only take Dropbox to add commenting on the sharing pages they now create. But it's mostly about the perms for me (which these shared pages don't seem to offer), I know who I share a DB folder with. And in my pa

I think Google+ are doing the right thing by not allowing write access yet. Facebook has taught us that. The main reason I've seen people wanting write access is so the can "automatically post to G+ when they post to twitter or facebook" -

I've worked as a designer in the [pop] music industry. As much as you don't want this list view when you're picking hotel dates, I can assure you that experimental stuff like this has it's place. Please don't respond with blanket statements

that's a pretty nice start. I guess it's similar to label+rules in Gmail? This creates a series of "inboxes" for the 200 services you recognise - and for client side that's pretty cool. I was thinking more that I'd never actually get these

Trust me when I say that curating the content of your site right from the start is one of the most important things you can do. It's might seem counterintuitive now, but letting a lower standard in now will set the tone for the site - and t

> Noise filtering is just another form of spam filtering Logically you might think so, but noise is not always noise, sometimes it's what you're interested in reading about, some days it isn't. Spam, however, is always spam. Google+ hav

It's going to change the face of podcasting, that's for sure. Case in point https://plus.google.com/110701307803962595019/posts - and maybe that will drag in more users (by interest graph rather than friend/family graph).

Glad to see Hangouts promoted in this design. Think that's probably the G+ trump card.

How many companies actually sell for $17m? We mostly hear about the $50m+ ones or we hear about "talent acquisitions" which I presume are not $50m. What sort of companies get bought for $17m?

I believe they do. I think we're getting too caught up in this concept of fail fast, fail early, fail often and we're not sticking with ideas long enough to see if they could be a success. After all, sometimes ideas don't fail because of th

Don't forget that part of the solution to education is role-models. You can teach all you want, but if kids ain't interested - they ain't interested. High tech startups (and when they are seen by the public to be successful) are good role m

I don't care who the job comes via, as long as it's fair salary and a role I'm interested in. I've never used a recruiter so I can't comment on whether they'd get me a good job or not. However, looking at the board there is a senior UX job
