I heard these arguments before but nothing happened so far, facebook has still one of the worst return rate in the industry.

Best comment so far, the search monopoly guarantees AdWords. The only way to do this is by breaking search and this is incredibly difficult. Google is a single pony like Exxon is with oil.

Since LinkedIn everyone behaves like 2001, every buzz company is trying to get an IPO. Facebook, Groupon, AirBnB, Twitter and Zynga. All of them without a clean history. My feeling is they all try to go public as fast as possible as long as

What they do is in my eyes the opposite of professionalization, AirBnB and Getaround are already done with hotels and rental cars. It's like growing vegetables in the backyard.

What a stupid comparison, cars can still transport you from a to b. I don't give a damn about some peoples enjoyment when people die all day on the streets. Replace driving with terrorism when you talk about casualties and personal freedom.

Mark Zuckerberg mentioned several times how an iPad app would be wrong, because its not really mobile or something like that and it came so incredibly late. The second most visited site, over thousand employees and a iPad app is such a big

I don't know what to do with these numbers. I can relate to our ocean in some way, 2 times, 5 times, maybe 10 times the amount of water but higher numbers are too much for me. They should just use liter instead.

I hope Sony is building a centralized IT division after the PSN outage and all these embarrassing websites will be gone soon. If they don't then their CEO should be fired for ignorance. I would be interested in the internal structure that l

I had similar experiences, the administration on charity organizations are often less efficient than government institutions. I was at the Red Cross in Germany and at 14 o'clock nobody was at work anymore. They were out because the weather

They have also a history here, when they had a lawsuit with a company (A blog that made fun of Facebook posts) they blocked their entries on Facebook. Has somebody the links to this topic?

Very interesting, reminds me of the conflict between Freud and Adler. You answered on a post who explains procrastination with desire, but added the self-esteem element. I am with you on this, i suppose the problem is a combination of desir

They are abusing the patent system to push competitors out of the market. They used a trivial patent to do this, these things are not valid in Europe. These things are not a problem for the real innovation guys the USA likes so much. http:

This does expose the bigotry of Facebook so much. On the other hand the valuation is merely based on the fact that they are the "one and only social network". They are dependent on this monopolistic behavior or they are screwed and can forg

Why did Facebook import e-mails over years and still hold them in their databases? There is no way to remove them and when someone with this address enters Facebook he gets recommendations for Friends. Do they own this data? Think about thi

I don't know how US politics works, but how can this slip trough without public outrage? I read a lot about things like the birth certificate and abortion. I always thought this is just in the media because your population is more diverse.
