It seems like every time that a startup gets bought and internalized to some proprietary system or network, it opens up the market for another startup in that same exact space. Is anyone trying to fill in the hole that instagram will leave?

I don't want to speak on behalf of AdSense, but there are often good reasons for this. In the project that I did for another product, we required users to re-enter their payment information to revalidate the account and ensure that the user

Is this a "bug" that is being marketed as a "feature"? It's great that you can see individual raindrops, but with radar, I'd think you'd want to filter the raindrops out.

Good Guy Startup Founder would cross reference this password list with their own password system and force those that match to reauthenticate and change their passwords. This wouldn't be difficult to do and your users would appreciate it.
