This is precisely why I wrote this article on why ecosystems are what's important -- not a fancy new handset. Nokia and RIM are near almost certain death in the next 18-24 months. http://subprint.com/blog/its-the-ecosystem,-stupid

I will continue to beat this drum: Mobile is not just the web. If you are thinking mobile first, you should be building network applications, not web applications. Fred Wilson is just an example of someone who get this.

The Nasdaq will be FLOODED with orders when FB begins trading. Will be interesting to see how their systems handle every algorithmic trading machine on the planet trading FB's stock...

The iOS SDK I'm building at work ultimately does the same thing. Much better UX.

With FB's IPO imminent, they should take some of that cash and buy Pinterest (Andreeson is invested in both anyway).

by joe-mccann 15y ago
Yup, spot on. You'll notice that the massive, visually appealing sites and apps (Flipboard, Instagram, for example) cater to a different audience and are arguably more suited for monetization: your "sponsored pins" idea - subtle additions

WOW! Those numbers are crazy and precisely why I wrote the blog post.

Yes, private boards are key, IMO. I bought the domain wishistry.com a few years ago to provide just that: Private wishlists for birthdays, weddings, holidays, etc. I think Pinterest will roll this out soon.

I based it simply on the data that was available (see the link in the blog post).

Nice one. This is actually what I'm adding to Dillinger next - a Redis store for pastebin style links to markdown files. dillinger.io Dillinger is also 100% open source: github.com/joemccann/dillinger

I'll be open sourcing all of Dillinger soon so the port will be in there.

http://dillinger.io A 6 hour project I put together including porting bootstrap to Stylus. It's a web based markdown editor for proper WebKits at the moment.

If you weren't at JSCfonf EU this, this post sums up what went into it and every JSConf event. TL;DR - Do it for the love not the money.

You're welcome, but the reason I explained is the answer is yes AND no. Yes, because gross dollar amount is less but No because take home is much more.

good point.

So if you make $140k in NYC, but only take home say $95k. Or you make $120k, but take home $95k. Then it's about the same. Now factor in cost of living. The $$ in your pocket is higher. If you more concerned with the nominal/gross dollar

Not exactly. Oregon has rednecks as does upstate NY (I used to live there as well). The delta is the level of racism, bigotry and religious fundamentalism that plagues the state is significantly higher in Texas than other states. Hicks a

Are you asking me to share my specific income? That's not gonna happen. Let's do some hypotheticals. $140k in NYC (this is a common salary/comp) $120k in Austin (this is a common salary/comp) Nominal dollar amounts, yes, $20k is dollar fo

I don't necessarily agree with this. I used to work at frog design and am now 100% independent (doing consulting/contract work). There are loads of companies from startups like Gowalla and Whaleshark to more established companies like Fac

My net income was significantly higher after leaving NYC. Let's put it that way =)

First, Austin is NOTHING like Texas. It is a beacon of progressive hope in an otherwise bass-ackwards state. I moved to Austin from New York City by way of Portland, Oregon so believe me, when I say that there is no way I would live in TE

Epic linkbait. "Consulting is like selling crack, if you want to be a founder of a startup - so go work for a startup." should be the title. As an independent consultant I can only laugh at fallacies ridden in this article as if it applies

Totally. Trying to get me to leave Austin, TX which is half the cost of living AND has no state income tax is a tough sell to us devs here. Remote work is becoming more and more accepted lately as recruiters and companies are realizing pe
