It doesn't seem to be doing that bad, actually. Their facebook appliacation has nearly 3000 active monthly users, and seems to be growing nicely.

They're smart though. I'm sure it wouldn't take long for them to realize they're clueless about the social aspects of the virtual world, and start hiring social media/game consultants. Look no further than Microsoft, who bought Bungee in an

My favorites in this batch are Devver and Foodzie. I think there's a lot of great stuff that can be done with cloud based development -- especially blurring the line between deployment and development. Foodzie is something my parents would

I think this is a great example of legitimate vs. illegitimate use. The benefits of opening up this spectrum greatly outweighs the negative aspects. Same with e-mail - the benefits are much greater than the negative uses.

I don't know. I'd find it annoying to build a large application in javascript, but I suppose it could be done. There are some attractive alternatives like GAE and Heroku. That said, cloud services are a hot area, and there are plenty of new

Netflix can do collaborative filtering successfully because they have years of data. Amazon can also make recommendations because they know everyone's buying habits. Sounds like Redux is trying to abstract this to social media? It reeks of

Why would someone sacrifice their secure job with good benefits and plunge into the startup world? Have you ever watched Scoble interview startup founders? It's completely unscripted, yet he does a remarkable job (in my opinion). You can te

I like the comparison between Blizzard and Google, because they both have tremendous momentum in their favor. It would be an incredible feat for a company to make a better game than Blizzard. I've watched some QA sessions with Blizzard proj

That's probably a compliment to the picwing guys :) An idea that seems obvious in retrospect is probably a good idea. But I'm betting it wasn't obvious to a lot of people before the TC article. If you said, four months ago, that you wanted

But their data is freely available: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces It probably wouldn't be a good idea, without massive amounts of resources (i.e Jason-Calacanis-mahalo-style), to try to recreate the data. Creating mashups with their data

Having a trusted third party is a pretty big deal in cryptography. Without it, many of the core assumptions of public-key cryptography are invalid. It's a huge part of making sure the other end is authentic. I'd place a lot more trust in Ba
