Established companies are notoriously bad at the pace at which they respond to users - so don't worry about the fast that you have an established company entering the space. The bigger challenge in my opinion is that this is a two side

Thanks! But even if it is not being used yet - do we know if Facebook uses Typescript (or some extension of it)?

Sounds like more of the pieces of React/Flux are being opensourced. :-) Interesting to see references to TypeScript. Is it prevalent at FB?

My 2 cents - You have software built, now comes the challenging part of actually building a business around it. There are lots of things that you can do, I would suggest making all of the below equal priorities going forward: - Meet your cu

I am not a lawyer, and you should talk to one. But, before that - there are a couple of thoughts that might help: You should have a broad agreement before you go to the lawyer. Are you thinking about a 50% share in the company or a 1% share

Hmmm... wondering if it will be a good idea to put the book on a wiki so that the community can update it and improve it.

Lots of thoughts, but basically find the fun in coding. Build Apps in Android, they are also Java based. Try coding challenges, www.hackermeter.com was just launched and they seem cool. Play with new frameworks - things like Play Framework

Sounds like they may not have had a high enough viral coefficient as they would have wanted. So they felt like it was not worth investing more in product development or marketing. Definitely impressed that they had the discipline to shut it

I believe David is ok with advertising. He just doesn't want it to be the main focus of his effort. The fact that Tumblr has huge growth and Yahoo has one of the largest Ad Sales teams in the world, means that this merger will in-my-opinion

I believe they were running out of money and needed to do more work to bring revenues appropriately up. Yahoo allows them to not need to focus on revenues, as they already have a large and established an ad sales team.

They are building a social network for families. So they don't need to have lots of users, just a large part of a few families to have the network effect tested.

PostHaven's value proposition is much clearer (to me). They are focusing on content creators and are building a site that will remain around for sometime. I don't see a potential user even wanting apps on it. The site is ready today. App.ne

It seems that he is suggesting app.net to build two-sided market for social apps: users on one side and developers on the other side. Sounds great - once they build a successful marketplace. But until then, the value proposition is not curr

Interesting site. There are parts that left me a little confused. Are they basically building a marketplace + online tools? If so, the text 'Jellifi is looking for event planners, bands, rental services, entertainers, caters, models, photog

Reminds me of Freebase. They built a huge data-set as well as tools and an api to access themselves. Have you talked to anyone on the team? (they are now at Google) How would you say that you are different from them?

Google has modified Java for Android. They could have instead modified Python. There have been academic papers that have shown that Python can be made to be statically typed (ignoring one or two keywords, like eval). Assuming that Google ha

Fixing WordPress's code problems don't really need to break plugin compatibility. They can rewrite the core, have new features requiring doing things the new way, and have small adapters to maintain the backward compatibility. But yes, this

The API seems to require users (and not just developers) to have to authorize the app :-( This kinda limits you to Google Docs style apps, as opposed to other crazy ideas I might have. I would also like to have an option to pay so that I ca

If Google is shutting down reader, are they going to remove RSS feeds from Blogger? What about Feedburner? I think Google's better move would have been cut a few features and 'Plus-ify' Reader - kinda like they have been doing with their ot
