Sorry, but this is the latest entry in obsolete and obtrusive functionality. It's useless for mobile (just tested iOS Safari and Opera), which is the platform you should start with, and it's been proven out to be an annoying hindrance to th

Honestly, it looks like they made a list of current Facebook/LinkedIn functionality, dropped the childish annoyances, implemented groupings and are in the process of tying together their other services to fill the gaps that they need not bu

I read it to say "I don't use anything unless my friends think it's cool and I'll rapidly abandon something if they don't because I don't want to be an outlier." That's a very narrow view of the world and it's my opinion as both a vim user

It's weird that you claim to make predictions about what will succeed and what will not while simultaneously deriding an industry segment you claim to avoid. What makes you an expert, and can you share this insight with us? I, one for, woul
