Five Least Legitimate Uses of Social Media
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Corey 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.
Coathangr Redesign
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Massively Overrated has just launched the first phase of the coathangr.com redesign. The feedback we get most often is that our iPhone app is beautiful, but the site looks like crap. Today is the first step in changing that. Update: I must be tired from all of that CSS. The link ...
A Reason to Blog

What Comcast Means to Hulu
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Fake Steve sums up the Comcast/NBC deal quite nicely: That means NBC gets thrown to the lions, and two dying business models — a broadcast TV network and a big dumb cable operator — have found a way to sink faster, by tying themselves together.
They Should Call It a “Tablezine”
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009As much as I hate linking to TechCrunch, I couldn't find a better source for this story about Time Magazine's tablet magazine concept.

Stop Tweeting About It
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I only have one thing to add to this list, and it's for the ladies: Don't tweet about your body. Things like "Man, my bra is so tight today" or "I can't believe I forgot to wear underwear" make you seem desperate and needy.
• Three20
Monday, November 16th, 2009The Coathangr iPhone app was rejected today for using private APIs. The following non-public APIs are included in your application: firstResponder UITouch._previousLocationInWindow, UITouch._tapCount, UITouch._timestamp, UITouch._touchFlags, UITouch._view UITouch._window A quick Google search confirmed my suspicions: the Three20 library is to blame. Three20, if you're unaware, is the library that the Facebook iPhone app is built on. Joe Hewitt, the man responsible ...

Link Disclosure
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Kottke posted a fun story explaining his Amazon linking policy. In the spirit of such disclosure, I'll call out my own, similar policy. Any time you see an Amazon link on Better Elevation, rest assured that my affiliate code is in there. I don't do quite the traffic that Kottke does, ...
