   I think it would be like coding without writing down a little bit of a flow chart at least... make a minimum of a wire frame for the site before trying to code it - usually helps in making basic designs, logo placement, content placement -

   I think you have to , have a sketching/mockup process ... before you start coding html/css - If you like to sketch on paper, or do super quick mockups in photoshop it doesn't matter. The point is don't waste too much time making it perfect

   I say its fair, but only if you charge fully by the GB or not at all; having a standard then add-on is trying to get the best of both worlds.

   $7b , a recommendation engine for everything (telecom, cable, cellphone etc..) service that was near perfect would still only be worth what someone is willing to pay for. I think recommendation is at a place where "Good enough" keeps them f

   I'll buy your tickets, but don't make me or anyone buy your data (Stats). If you do, I won't by your tickets. People only care about the sports because of the data which composes the story line, make that a closed garden and I think a lot o

    I use a paper notebook, turned completely backwards, I work from back to front - Put dates on every entry... Thus when it is full I can read it like a book, I also Post-it tab every important entry.. I prefer the 70pg .70 cent notebooks wit

    for being so off on stats for any site smaller than top 1,000 and being way off for those as well ... I don't understand how the service ever was bought for $250mm

    - I don't care how easy it is to click through then click the back button; then again ... - Whenever you build content for page views and NOT users you make a grand mistake, user satisfaction is what makes those page views worth anything.

    Paypal isn't going anywhere soon... 1. They have a massive lead in audience 2. They are already the 'accepted' internet payment 3. If Google can't compete when losing money at trying who can? http://www.google.com/trends?q=paypal%2C+google

    I have to agree it was a great liberty taken by Micheal, on the other hand its his business and he can do what he feels he has to in order for it to prosper.

    I agree with your problem, Changing the site after a few clicks means the user will wonder if they are on the same site... - alternatively they could only make the changes for returning users based on their previous visit..

    I agree about the separation of power... but holding someone's past against them isn't fair (and a company is technically a person)

    I would say "a typical web user" uses the same passwords or slight variations on at least 3 different sites... that being said I wouldn't want my openID hacked...(single point of failure) are the at least demanding strong passwords?

    this is a move that might help a little against the android devices coming out...its a late move though as i think att should have been subsidizing the "carrier" locked phone anyway.

    great post, Basically put up or shut up! (code that is) ... I hope they get resumes from the post of people who can help. - Re-writing their whole system incrementally will be expensive; I think they might need google money and brains to co

    They have $15mm cash and a $80mm valuation; Lets see if throwing money at the problem can solve it. I still have trouble seeing something without a business model have a valuation of $80mm ;/ just me?
