I'm looking at the Facebook Insights for the app right now. The bucket where we asked for the most permissions (excluding email) performed significantly better than the other options. I don't know why that is the case, but it is. As for ask

I'm working on a facebook app right now. In A/B testing the permissions, it doesn't matter how many things we ask for, the results are about the same. So might as well ask for anything we think will be useful.

Sorry for the late response to this. I have had mixed feelings for a while - it gives a good living to the family, but on the other had we all want to work towards the betterment of the world. For my mom, at first she was very gung ho about

So, my mom is a former Maxwell employee who now does her own defense contracting, and makes this same type of part. As I understand it, when there is a nuclear event, it generates x-rays followed by the EMP. The goal is to have warheads in

They should make sure to grab the twitter user name too, that's an important part of branding. I noticed that some of the twitter user names for the brands are free - how long will that last?

I can see how it can happen. I've worked at some media companies that do a lot less than twitter does and they've hit 120+ employees, just doing ads. Twitter does ads, as far as I can tell via promoted search results, trending topics, and f

That's about the market rate for buying likes on Facebook (the company I work for used to offer this as a service).
