With Twitter what we did when we launched originally was simply get a PCMCIA GSM card and used some windows software to post it to the website via a protected REST api. Now i guess you could use a usb gsm modem. Worked great for prototypes.

55 employees before their A round? Either they raised a lot of money in a 'seed' round before this or they put a bunch of their own money in. Otherwise i don't see how they funded the growth to this stage on revenue.

Good time to consider Google's Compute Engine as an alternative? What will we call it, GCE?

Ironically enough, yammer started out as a twitter clone for the enterprise, and evolved in to something more like a private facebook.

I tried what might be called polyphasic sleeping twice. When both of my kids were born. It sucked. Babies do it, and their parents are forced to join them for the first few months of life. It's a damned good thing we teach kids the normal w

So the video in question got pulled offline, so now none of us who missed it can tell if it was sexist or not. Kind of ironic.

It feels to me that PG is simply making excuses for not preparing for his talks. There is no reason technical talks can't be fun, engaging, and full of information. If you only read it out loud once, you're not doing enough prep. Sure you c

Well, i think actually, perhaps a call for developers to refuse to participate in software patents, refuse to put your name on it, might be more effective.

My quick check, from a US ip address, the page loads but the flash doesn't stream. I'm guessing it's a geoip block.

To me it seems like the rojadirecta.es folks, who are doing pirate live sports streaming, will love this.

Get one of the car share services, zipcar/carshare. Then mentally do the jump and stop worrying about the per minute / per hour costs. It really is about the same costs as owning a car or cheaper. Use the zipcar when you need it, and bike t

The deadline for filing for the NY Senate Democratic Primary is May 21st. That means there is real time to find an anti-SOPA candidate to primary Schumer. I also think somebody should think seriously about launching a PAC/SuperPAC around th

Yeah, kind of like saying you have to count all the time spent on ruby, rails, and all the gems you're using when you do Rails Rumble. Making construction modular and plug and play is a hugely important innovation.
