I'd hope so. I love the ocean of high-quality content available to the world now, but too many people are content to jump out and drown in it. Solutions are required.

People are really voting this illiterate mess of a blog post up? A market can exist with more than one product, free doesn't instantly beat paid, and this entire conversation has been repeated nonstop for three years. Why are we all still s

I see nothing wrong with that. More tools means more art means more fun.

We get it. It looks cool and somewhat life-like. Now can you please show us something that's designed to evoke a response other than cooing in delight of your wonderful technical achievements? We live in a world where people know nothing

There's been another back-up tool in existence, but it outputs to a single HTML page.

I'm confused, then; what do you mean autopost as a group? Does that mean letting multiple people submit content, which is then posted to a single Twitter feed?

I don't like the term professional. I hope never to use it. I've learned enough to realize that even when I'm capable of turning out impressive work, it's without my knowing everything I can possibly know. (I'm also astounded when I finish

No it doesn't. Tumblr already supports posting to Twitter and to Facebook. What else was there? Putting group names on a blog? Tumblr's had that for years. Posterous had a lightning start, then fell on its ass; Tumblr adopted its best featu

My personal opinion is that he's very good, but not great. His designs work very well, but he never strikes me as ambitious or risk-taking in his work, which I feel is a must for great.

But when their blog design is built to emphasize images rather than text, that turns having those images distract into a design issue with the theme.

Let me cast my vote for Shaun Inman, whose two web apps are brilliantly designed and brilliantly functional. His homepage is pretty dandy, too: http://shauninman.com

The Metalab people were involved in a dispute with one of the Tumblr designers on IRC the one time I entered the Tumblr IRC, so I've got a bias that comes from that designer ranting at them for an underhanded design, but I find that I reall

I visit Urban Airship and my first instinct is to hate how little padding there is between your iPhone image and the image right below it, which strikes me as overlarge.

Panic is part of a swelling trend of small companies that are really among the cutting edge of business. Very freeform, very openended, very dedicated to their products. They might be my favorite example because each of the people there (Ca

And some degree of overconfidence and maybe hubris is perhaps necessary to start a company and to suffer the slings and arrows of that experience long enough to have a shot at success. Absolutely. And I'm the worst of the lot. When I work

"The paintings made between 1430 and 1500 are still unsurpassed." Art has progressed so much in the last 500 years that this comparison is utterly absurd. Francis Bacon comes to mind as a painter whose works simply cannot be compared to ear

Are you surprised by that? This is a site sponsored by an organization that looks for elite people in order to sponsor them as they start businesses. As a result, a large part of the crowd here consists of people who either think they're el

The suggestion in the article seems to be that only designers are noble people, which is a bit silly.

The problem is that when you go into such detail about this eccentricity, it stops coming across as a funny joke ("Of course Google's evil. Did you see the eye ?!") and starts sounding like you've cracked. Why worry about flak? Use what wo

If they figure out how to market that better, though, they've got a massive userbase. That could be incredible.

MobileMe is pretty kickass. Hell, so is the iTunes store, which is entirely web-based. Apple can do the web.

It all depends on the class and the context of the college. I Facebook in a few of my classes. Sometimes it's because we're going over something I learned when I was younger. (I know how to use Final Cut, for instance, even if I'm completel

I deleted my Facebook account just a few weeks ago, along with my Google account. I don't like feeling dependence. My Google account is still gone — turns out it wasn't giving me much value besides the email, and I hated my Gmail name so no

True that. They've simplified communication for their demographic immensely. I talk to people more on Facebook than I'd be able to in actual conversation, because it's such a nonlinear process.

If somebody dumped a million dollars in a pile in your bedroom, would that fact alone make you more desirable to women? Of course not. What would make you theoretically more desirable: You might stop caring so much about individual women on

Understandably I disagree. Specifically: I'd like you to point out where I say delayed gratification is a bad thing. If you want a house, you save money until you can buy a house. Otherwise you're not getting what you want. But if you have
