South by Southwest

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Paul Carr is the only reason to bother reading Techcrunch. Every word of this is pure gold: Tip One: Don’t go to South by Southwest Interactive. I’m serious. It sucked last year, and it’s going to suck again this year. You’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. The idea that SXSWi is ...

Free Software

Devin makes an interesting and valid point, but I disagree with his assertion here: Without the collective network of millions, Facebook would not exist. We are the customers because we’re paying with a different (and arguably, more sparse) currency: attention. We are the product. Advertisers are the customer. This may seem like ...

Disregard

Friday, February 26th, 2010

It turns my stomach to agree with Arrington on anything, but this is flat-out unacceptable.

Refresh Denver: Mobile Development

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Looks to be an interesting talk from Kristofer Baxter and Jason Johnston. If you're in Denver and work with the web, this should be worth checking out.

Competing With Apple

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

An extremely succinct explanation of why there was no iPod killer, there is no iPhone killer, and why there will be no tablet killer, from Penny Arcade of all places: You made a "product" to compete with their "product," tastefully arranging your regiment, only to discover that they hadn't made a ...

No, really.

Epic Win FTW

More awesomeness from Ben Huh. It's like his office is an awesomeness factory.

Weekend Mode and Pseudo-Follow

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Brent Simmons throws his Twitter client feature request out into the ether for some enterprising developer to grab onto. My personal dream feature is something like fake follow — where the other person sees you as a follower but you don't actually see their posts in your timeline — but with ...

Better Elevation is now listed on Amazon's Kindle service, for those of you who swing that way.

This is Photobomb

Perhaps old news, but I can't stop laughing at this. Another quality site from Ben Huh, King of the Internet.

Five Least Legitimate Uses of Social Media

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Corey Casciato kick's off the list season in style. When I say oversharing, I don't mean accidentally telling the world about the salacious details of your skeezy one-night stand. That's actually kind of amusing.
