Love tumblr, love the community, love the design, but god it feels like it's tied together with string. About two years ago I made the simple request of allowing me to not auto tweet content when posted with bookmarklet (it. would. just. be

Unless Digg cannot roll out new features due to Cassandra (eg: a) Cassandra woes taking all dev team time, or b) tech limitations prevent features) it seems highly unlikely that cassandra is the reason why Digg 4 is grating with users initi

Philips & Dyson are both well regarded for innovation/creativity. Can you elaborate on what you're looking for specifically?

You should fly Day[9] out to SF to commentate. He's done a few noteworthy things other than be awesome at Starcraft that are valuable to startups: * Never give up (eg: play SC for 10 years) * Build a huge following around his daily series *
