A question of eyeballs
The new facebook has been getting its usual level of pushback for its new interface design. One of the more interesting, if not stark, comments that appeared on my feed was the following: Is it a coincidence that facebook becomes more like myspace right when google+ becomes available? The short answer: No. The [...]

Klout has it wrong
I found out today that Klout, in all of its brilliance, has decided to start counting every ounce of my web presence for its Klout score. I resent it. A lot. My life is slowly turning into an alternative credit score, hereby known as a Klout score, which determines if I am cool enough for [...]

Ads Gone Mobile
One of the more striking things I have noticed since getting the EVO are how the quality of the ads vary so much. One would think that with web apps it would be particularly easy; you can definitely datamine to find out about your customers, plus lots of apps fall into neat vehicles that are [...]
Google Plus’s Minuses
Like most techies at the moment, I’m right now testing/playing around with/am on Google+. Unlike most of them, I am not feeling like the social network sun has risen once again. Not enough of my friends are on it. I’m getting constant reccomendations from people I vaguely recognize, but none who I actually know. (part [...]

A founder Truism, Revisited
I had ran into a close friend of mine at a mutual friend’s engagement party. He is currently a founder at an extremely interesting startup in New York, though I remember him back in the days were he was still a dorky high school student. We were talking about how I just got a job [...]
Quora as the new search paradigm
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about usuability and Quora, most famously David Pogue complaining about the usability of the “search/question” box. This concept has been tweeted around a bit, and I think it misses the point on the state of content and seach. One of the state paradigms surounding Quora is that [...]
Bad Ads, No Biscuit
While drifting off to sleep recently, it hit me that web ads are a kind of misfit of the advertising world. They’re super algorithmically driven, primarily because of the remnant market in display. Oddly enough, this fact should open up a range of enriching experiences – if your ad follows you around based on your [...]
