To me 50% of this show was Dan Benjamin. Without him it will not be the same show, even if Gruber is the main draw card. Sad to see him leave, but I'm more interested in what is ahead for Dan. He has a great network.

Do we seriously need a blog post on "why" she was fired? I think this is blindingly obvious... Yahoo is now a shell of the company it used to be.

I'm sorry but I lived an extremely rural town for 10 years with <20k people and all of these thing were available. I'm not convinced these are exclusive to cities.

Let's not forget that the industrial revolution was all about mass production. Read about adam smith and his essay on mass production of the pin for more details. I don't see this freelance revolution as anything close to mass production. Q

Not that I am disagreeing but would you mind mentioning the social advantages that you are talking about?

Funny, i've been meaning to finish a blog post on this exact same topic. I actually think the freelance revolution will be a reversing of the industrial revolution. The industrial and neolithic revolutions brought the masses together to for

It's interesting how most comments on this thread have no issue with the fork, yet most of the comments on the blog post are very much against the fork. (Strange considering they are mostly from the WordPress community).

Totally agree, not to mention its very hypocritical considering WordPress itself a fork of B2. It seems to me that people are happy to embrace GPL when it suits them, but condem it when it doesn't suit... When you build on an GPL product yo

Well that certainly took less than 6 months - http://www.facebook.com/videocalling Any guesses as to how long it takes for Facebook to copy G+ circles?

Very good point. I assumed because they looked very similar that it was the same person, but quite possible that someone else did the designs. Definitely very similar elements in UI though. "Hertzfeld, who has been working at Google since 2

Really disliking the red, it stands out way too much and implies urgency. Seems like a really bad UX choice to me?
53.
by lachlanj 15y ago
I really like the new apps and search interface, but the use of red is really bugging me. Surely this is basic UI that urgent things are made red like alerts etc. I fail to see why the 'compose mail' and 'create' calendar event buttons need

Short term there may be some cross over, as with MySpace and Facebook, but long term the average person will only maintain one personal "social" profile ie I don't include linkedin(business) or Twitter(broadcast/news) as a personal social p

Using a partnership with Skype it could definitely achieve this. Whether that partnership would ever happen is debatable.

Google+ looks amazing but if you think Facebook won't have these features copied within six months you are wrong. In particular the circles features which seems like the most compelling feature. Also the "average" person won't maintain 2 so

I disagree, as a web developer big or small it is your job to set the standards for what the web should be. Small freelancers make up a greater percentage than bigger firms as developers. At very least you should make it known that supporti

Terrible Article, I am surprised to see the from The Economist. It seems like they just want to name drop the most popular tech companies of late. Facebook has just as much chance of disappearing in 5 years as it does of being around in 100
