I might try to do a startup at some point where people email each other through tweets. I think it would open new possibilities for companies.

"At midnight www.letterstodavenavarro.com will launch with all the SEO force I can muster." I searched for "dave navarro", and could not find the site in the first 100 results. There's a famous "dave navarro" that takes most of the results.

Something I noticed: he did not use Facebook as an example, while talking about Google, Linkedin, Zynga, Apple, Amazon. Is there a reason?

"The conclusion, then, is that algorithmic trading (at least in the time period studied, in which stocks were generally rising) does improve market efficiency in the sense of higher liquidity and better price discovery."

Well, the value isn't exactly the same. Facebook has a much more tight platform where sharing options are a great plus. Increasing reach is easier and as a consequence it is more valuable than Google+.

mmm You got me thinking. You're right, both look error prone. Typing errors increase as it gets longer or more complicated.

I make less typing mistakes with shorter, complicated passwords. Long passwords are typing-error prone. With mobile devices, it gets worse, as typing is really painful.

I don't like turntable. While the idea is appealing (streaming music for friends or strangers), the UI is awful. There's too much color and illustrations are not helping. I would be happy to help if founders are reading this.

Why is Twitter so slow to find a good business model, while Facebook is profitable?

very good tutorial - any non technical developer can follow and is still covering very well the subject. Was it a student project?

Paul Adams' last year presentation on Slideshare had a huge impact on my work designing social products. He really put it out there the frustations caused by Facebook. I am really glad he joined Facebook to work on those problems. I can't w

Does anyone know who the target was? If it's LulzSec, as the article assumes, I would hope they have good reasons to do so. LulzSec is a group of hackers searching for recognition. By chasing them they are giving them more publicity.

I am not sure. It might be true for developers, but most people don't care that much. They just want to sign in, fast.

exactly. high schools have a strong envy for anarchy - trying stuff for fun. I think most readers here went through that phase and forgot about it. Flirting with the borders is fun. We were not realizing the consequence of our acts.

I used PostRank when I built a reputation & SEO engine. Their product is amazing. It extracts all social signals it can find in the web. My guess is that Google, trying to scrape all social signals they could, decided to hire those guy

in 30 years, we'll be "remember the UnCollege movement? yeah, we really wanted to change the world at that time". definitely a good movement to demand for change in education, will it revolutionize the system? probably not.

a couple of questions: - what is the essential feature of this site? how can you emphasize it more? - could you describe your site in one-liner? "football news curator" - have you tested to football fans? would they urgently need it compar

Ed, could you create a post with the 10 principles of the book? I just feel getting "take-aways" at a glance will help reader absorb information better. Your content is excellent so presenting in one-page summary is always a good thing. I
