This is why I want Foursquare to start handling reviews. (Foursquare lets people "check in" at a bar, restaurant, or other venue and notify friends.) Foursquare's developers say th…

I'd argue that Tumblr, by focusing on the social, has opened itself to a wider variety of possible revenue sources. They could succeed at social advertising where Facebook has fail…

Shh, Jacob, get out of here, we're talking about your stuff!

I'm coming at this as another blogger who makes a living off of writing out my opinions, and from that angle, you're not trolling, just offering a strong opinion. You truly believe…

If you read past the first paragraph, he explains how the design goes far beyond "pretty". He explicitly says that "pretty" is not the point.

One way to normalize this is to ask: How quickly was Tumblr growing when it was as small as Posterous is now? Then you're comparing apples to apples.

I made an extra OPML file to follow my 5,000 favorite information overload blogs.

I only use them for Twitter, which is why I don't get the proliferation of six-character domains like bit.ly and goo.gl when bit.ly already offers j.mp. Why would anyone choose any…

Seriously! I know this moron who named his site Facebook but hosted it at thefacebook.com!

The one time I've been able to keep up a breakneck pace was at Gawker (I'm Nick Douglas, its founding editor), and that was after they almost fired me. It took me a few months to s…

I don't know where Biz Stone went to college, but his co-founder Evan Williams went to the University of Nebraska before making Blogger and Twitter. Twitter's inventor, Jack Dorsey…

As well as production of valued concrete.

Unlikely, but possible.

I must be dyslexic. Whenever I see a post titled "Why X Matters," I can't help reading "X doesn't matter."

Every single statement of his reads like that.

So how do you give directions? I know you must have a system, but I'm not sure exactly how it works. "Head down to Block 16, take a left and turn right at block 22"?

I'd love to read a meatier piece on this subject. Not sure the lessons in here actually amount to much.

While this sounds cute, I'm not sure what the incentive is for anyone to actually buy something they wouldn't have, or pay more than they otherwise would. Maybe it'd be more fun to…

The Fitbit looked very fun, but the site didn't mention an alarm function. I'm already envisioning a long slog toward convergence, because some day I want my phone to do calorie-co…

Ha, touché!

Yeah, this seems especially excellent for getting initial awareness of a product – in this case, that specific IKEA location, as represented by its manager. It also seems like a go…

Wow, I rarely take Farhad Manjoo's side, but this IT guy sounds like he simply wants to avoid doing his job. He even ruins his excellent point – that sometimes the real enemy is th…

They should do something, but I expect auto-deleting old messages would be an even worse solution.

I bet the commenter above would prefer to be judged on his accomplishments as an interviewer, rather than some half-assed assessment of him as a person made in a comment.

And because Justin is already a successful writer who edits Maxim.com. He founded the comedy site Holy Taco (now owned by Break Media) and for the show he's getting the help of the…
