My favorite Internet community is Something Awful, and I'm surprised nobody's followed its curation model: put your money where your mouth is. Accounts cost $10, and you get banned (meaning you have to spend another $10) if you do

I disagree with the foundations of the argument (Etsy and AirBnB aren't attacking craiglist) but I agree with the conclusions: if all you have is a massive reputation and a massive user base (which I think is pretty much true of Reddit

I didn't downvote you, but calling Amazon a startup is pretty ridiculous -- and your spelling/grammar isn't lending your argument any favors. (Though, ironically, it does fit into PG's description of "a company opti

I get clear utility out of letting Facebook know who my friends are. I see no clear utility out of letting the NSA know who my friends are.

So I think there are two points that Paul makes: hardware and services. On the hardware front: I don't really buy the notion that Android hardware is up to par with Apple. I realize this is an inherently subjective argument: I've

It's beyond me why Apple hasn't leveraged iMessage in this regard.

Looks like we're entering the Mechanical Turkination of graphic design. At first blush, I think this is awesome, especially for small consultancies/businesses/side projects. Converting a logo to vectors, for example, is som

This is a wonderful article. The only quibble I have -- and I want to emphasize that its a quibble, and in no way detracts from the overall thrust of the message -- is the point about filling out forms. Equivocating "some users don&#x

AOL staffs around 5500 employees, posts incomes of around $2.5 billion, and owns -- amongst other things -- TechCrunch and HuffPo. If you don't think they're an important company, I suggest you talk to more people who are outside

The advantage here seems pretty obvious: updating static content through Dropbox is pretty much the ideal (especially for cases where multiple people are involved: shared Dropbox folders are a godsend.) My question is that of speed, though.
