   This is pretty common, but yes, it is annoying. Try going to the "About" page on Quora while logged in without accidentally following random users or topics: http://www.quora.com/ A fixed footer could solve this issue.

   I agree that retention is a key metric in a time when everyone is talking about growth. Retention isn't going to be sustainable for apps that aren't core utilities. The biggest problem in mobile is the amount of resources invested in develo

    It seems to be understood that crowdfunding only guarantees an attempt at realizing an idea. Backlash will only be warranted when crowdfunding is used for anything other than an honest attempt. I think reasonable people agree that money c

    I've found the Pulse news app to have the best layout for tablet. It's balanced, symmetric, utilitarian, etc. and each row/news source scrolls horizontally. If it had a jagged layout with larger images and only vertical scrolling like Pinte

    I agree, it does seem like they are steering their users toward posting more photos. I guess I am skeptical that they can pull that off without an accompanying bookmarklet, web upload flow, or mobile app.

    Some of them seem interesting like The Innovator's Dilemma, I Moved Your Cheese, etc. Not a huge opportunity cost to read those.

    I was thinking you should collect email and start a "top 10 reddit images of the week" email or something to get return visits over time.

    Messages in the main app weren't native until the latest update. I guess I disagree and see HTML5 as taking a much lesser role for them.

    So, Grooveshark keeps getting sued by all four major record labels, their native apps are banned from both the iOS and Android app stores, and we're sitting here talking about HTML5. Probably the worst case study ever for mobile strategy.
