Hm, must've missed that. I doubt too many decided to take it as cash anyway. Still, the argument that the leak put every one at the company in danger seems ridiculous to me.

Unless Google paid the bonuses in cash, I don't see how this would expose them to any sort of mugging. I just find this whole thing ridiculous. With 23,000 employees - and the friends and family they shared the news with - the news was boun

Hm, someone just asked me this week if their data will last on Drop.io--I told them yea for sure, they've been around for a long time, they're not just gonna shut down all of a sudden. And then this.

Unfair comparison with Yahoo. Microsoft does a ton of things well and they've done a bang-up job with many of their recent products. I'd say they've already started to successfully turn the ship around.

Either the publicity got all the participating angels to back off any deals they made, or it wasn't really a thing in the first place. Regardless, I don't see what AOL would have to do with it

That's not really an effective way to compare the two.

Hate this. I look at titles all the time, especially in browsers. I even dislike that Chrome only has titles on the tabs, which are almost always cut off.

The fact that the email came from someone that's pretty well known and respected (Jason) may have also helped in this case. Regardless, good read.

This mistake and subsequent lesson learned has been documented time and time again--why do companies still have the oversight to alienate customers like this?

Encouraging people to link to their profile would help, I suppose. For names that aren't as common as "John Smith", then I don't foresee it being that hard to get indexed and shown on the first page. If Google can find some article written

I got it off a generic privacy policy generator. Guess that's why it's so vague. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll get it replaced.

I suppose the differentiator is that it's a place where you can promote yourself, however vague that sounds. I should add more tools that narrow down this process. I also plan to make the contact forms embeddable, so that anyone can have a

John Q Sample is a common generic name, maybe I should pick something more unique. No revenue model yet, just doing this for fun. Maybe I can sell yourname.com domains through an affiliate program.

Thanks for the feedback! And good call on the screenshots. Here are screenshots of the logged-in view and profile (zoomed out so they fit) - http://i55.tinypic.com/qrc0ep.png I realize there's not much to the site, but I'm more curious to

Doesn't work correctly in FF 3.6 on a PC. Seems to be meant for webkit browsers only.

Having difficulty deciding if that page is a joke from AOL. The emphasis with the red squares is a little much (see this one: http://help.aol.com/Platform/Publishing/images/insert_cd_cd_... )

I understand the metaphor but it seems a bit of stretch. Since when do sports remind you of a product built for the enterprise? Considering the device can do more than just plan out strategies (as a playbook does), the name doesn't seem rig

Seems like a pretty good product if it launched now, but Apple will soon announce the next iPad which will likely leave many of the PlayBook's distinguishing features in the dust.

Actually, I think that would've been a better name than the PlayBook. Considering that RIM's marketing it as a "professional-grade" product, Play just seems like the wrong word to use.

As much as you may enjoy your alone time, you must realize that getting to know people is more important in the long run than being comfortable now. This is especially true in the startup world where knowing the right people and having smar

A similar game I like to play is with Foursquare; keep clicking through friends and locations to get from one location to another around the world.
