Personally, I have different labels. I have a high volume label that I nuke with impunity, then another label with low volume feeds that I treat more like Marco describes in tfa. This lets me keep up with all of those low volume feeds, but

A few years ago, I was in a big box store and overheard a young (~10y/o) child and his mother picking out a new video game. The kid excitedly picked up a box and asked his mom if he could get that one. She checked out the cover, then starte

After all that, I can't comment on the piece with OpenID or any other service I actually use. Facebook, Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL? Really? The way out of this mess is for people with loud voices to support efforts like Tent.io, open, decentral

I find it interesting that the two examples he gives of "proper professions" are highly regulated guild-like professions whose values are artificially inflated, at least to some degree. I'm only a very new programmer, but I'm reading Martin

There's a personal balance point between customization and portability e.g. how much to customize Vim or rely on shell/git aliases. These kinds of customizations can improve your personal workstation, at the cost of incompatibility with oth

Which is why we shouldn't use centralized services like Twitter. I'm rooting for http://tent.io/ myself.

Add to the list for the need for a decentralized, distributed platform with no one party in control of our information and publishing. I, for one, am really looking forward to what the http://tent.io/ guys come out with.

Hm. For what am I making excuses, if I may ask? > Being like jewelry isn't jewelry. The reference is to the build quality. Build quality of this level is inherently luxurious, IMO. > No tech device is resistant to get beaten up. Thi

I think there are a couple of parts to social networking: intimacy and performance. I wrote more about that here: http://blog.byjoemoon.com/intimacy-and-performance-on-facebo... I think the problem is when you privilege performance over i

I agree. I wrote the following after having used my Kindle Keyboard for a few weeks: What’s really remarkable about the device is how relaxing it is to use. ... The e-ink screen, at the cost of some functionality and elegance, is not only

Maybe, but they haven't even really said anything about it. In contrast, check out http://theopenphotoproject.org/ , which has both a centralized system, but it also an open source project that you can self-host. IMHO, much better idea, i

App.net strikes me as a half-measure. It's still a centralized system with one company acting ultimately as a gatekeeper. I want a twitter that acts more like email, on open, distributed systems that leave me in full ownership of my own con

Because Twitter and Facebook's search features are so great? Twitter doesn't even allow you to search your own tweet history past a certain point. Patching together a stream when the people you follow are scattered across a hundred differe

Yet another reason things systems like Twitter and Facebook shouldn't be silos with centralized control, but distributed, decentralized, self-hosted systems built on open standards.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, too. E.g. I think your insight into Google's main challenges being design problems and the "Innovator's Dilemma"-type of problems that Google has now are very significant. Personally, I would have p

"Google owns search, but Facebook owns you. Which is more valuable for selling advertising?" I disagree with this frame and this his implicit answer. Facebook's advertising model is sort of inherently adversarial. Their ads have to distract

What I don't understand about this is what they really hope to accomplish. It seems to me that the Venn diagram of people who will see this and people who will see it for the blatant hypocrisy and obvious political/PR maneuvering it is has

As a mildly disappointed Galaxy Nexus owner who significantly prefers Motorola hardware to Samsung's, I really hope this means truly outstanding Nexus devices in the near future.

Wow, that's actually a really interesting analysis. Complicated it may not be, but it is, to me, novel. Thanks! I'm not sure it obviously follows, though, that because it's private it's inappropriate for children, but not inappropriate for
