Kind of off topic, but I'm not a fan of their re-branding. Perhaps there's some oDesk envy? (Rent a Coder is now vWorker for those that didn't click through)

That is a lot of talent, seemingly in stuff that Facebook doesn't really do. Any ideas on what they're up to over there? I don't know if the world needs another browser, but maybe Facebook is working on one?

I'm not sure what was used here, but I've used Voices.com before to source voice overs and have been really happy with it. Worth a look if you need something like that.

You would think that DST, who's invested tons of money in both Zynga and Facebook, would try to keep the peace here. I read they're pretty hands off though. Zynga helps Facebook by keeping people on the site and giving them a reason to come

That does seem a bit high but I wouldn't say that it's impossible. If someone is going to spend hundreds on a device that's meant soley for reading, they probably read a lot of books. Anecdotally, I just got an iPad and bought 3 books I've

Agreed, contributing to someone's campaign doesn't mean I'm trying to buy them. More likely is that the candidate already supports a cause I care about, and I'm contributing to their campaign so they can get elected and continue supporting

I'm pretty sure :) Their footer says "Checkout and the Checkout logo are trademarks of Werck BV". Also if you look at a large version of it the front window says "Checkout". That's what makes it so stupid - there's so many stock icons for a

Retailers love web coupons because it helps them close the loop on their marketing and measure ROI from their site. Not sure about the company the article mentioned, RevTrax, though. Their product sounds interesting but they blatantly stole

Library of Congress announced that they're archiving every tweet since Twitters inception. Not sure if they said anything at Chirp about it yet. http://www.facebook.com/notes/the-library-of-congress/how-tw...

My first thought: "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" for the 21st century. I see some of the use cases on the site are things like medical and personal safety, but don't see anything about keeping tabs on kids. There's other solutions
