Hey hnnh44, Good eye. I should have caught that one. I've updated the post to indicate the correct numbers (which was more like ~35 million units in 2017) and added an editor's not…

For Mashable's Follow introduction video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbLazF5KxUc ), we used Epipheo: http://www.epipheostudios.com/

That's a good point. My brother -- who until recently ran a small non-profit -- last year had a grant to build a new website and put out a RFP to a bunch of local and national desi…

It's admirable to attempt to collect free resources and organize them in a way that provides a natural progression for subject matter mastery, but essays and lectures does not a co…

Whether the term is semantically correct or not, "group buying" is how most people have been referring to those types of sites (either that, or "daily deal site" -- though even tha…

It seems to me that all of those arguments could be applied to Woot, which did quite well before Groupon. They're at least following a once-proven model. (Woot has always had a tac…

Brilliant! And fitting, since baby carrots are already the sort of "junk food of the carrot world." At least, insofar as that they're the lazy alternative to buying and cutting you…

I don't think I'd say my premise was that this was "simply" a budget problem. I was just saying that calling it a teacher shortage is a poor choice of words to describe the current…

Shortage doesn't seem like the right word. That implies that there are more job openings than applicants, which simply isn't true. According to the New York Times, this is one of t…

If 7 female founder is reflective of the Y Combinator applicant pool, and the only thing YC is doing to structurally to "keep women out" is to favor founders who have coding skills…

The article is flawed, but his profile still doesn't seem to play by the rules. When I go to facebook.com/zuck there is no option for me to request adding him as a friend. In norma…

I think it's probably naive to think that just because it exists, people will flee Facebook for this new alternative. Diaspora may have garnered some geek attention and raised an i…

I like it, but two thoughts. 1. Though the effect of panning along the picture is cool, its also somewhat jarring. 2. You're covering up faces on a couple of the staff pages with t…

I'm asking a question on behalf of my brother who runs a youth non-profit org in Providence, RI. He's looking for a way to send text messages, en masse, to an opt-in network of con…

Or how about, "If I get this position, what sort of budget can I expect to be working with and what will I be expected to produce with that budget?"

I like your footnote idea, though I think it seems fairly unnatural for casual communication. To me, short URLs seem like the more user-friendly solution. I'm also still not sold o…

I disagree with that statement. Even before the rise of microblogging, URL shorteners were helpful in certain situations. Which URL would you rather paste in an email for readabili…

Actually, here's what MG gets wrong. The Twitter story was this: "BULLETIN — REPORT: FAMED GOLFER TIGER WOODS SERIOUSLY INJURED AFTER CRASH NEAR FLORIDA HOME." And the CNN story (3…

Prototype vertical farms. It's my new obsession. The UN projects that arable land will decline to 1/3 acre per person by 2050 (down from 1 acre/person in 1970). I'd buy up a few ol…
