This is a good example of what copywriting does in the web. The interesting part is that even though the first page says that the site is temporary, in actual fact it's not. It is a complete portfolio. It has everything…
Not exactly apple to orange, but more Facebook to LinkedIn? A social network's content is its people. I think Tumblr did well targeting the casual crowd. Posterous blogs that I come across, on the other hand, are very…
Of course Posterous is just another blogging platform. Have they tried to be anything else? The way you described how you use tumblr does seem to suggest that Posterous is actually a better fit, but it appears that you…
I think the point is that the article itself is not making sense, not the news it is trying to report. When I read the article I also thought about just normal browsing page load times. That is already so fast that a…
http://www.tumblr.com/directory/erotica (NSFW, FYI) I guess you could argue erotica isn't porn, but yes, they like it. The notion actually extends beyond sexually explicit material, as many popular tumblelogs in the…
They do not advertise that feature as much though, and by using email, wouldn't you miss out on at least some of their main social networking selling point? A lot of what makes them popular can only be found on their…
Is it just me but isn't it a bit too early to say Twitter is trying to wall itself in? Are they taking down the APIs? From what I can see here they just want Twitter.com to be a viable (and profitable) business. Why…
Yeah, and another one I like (that's probably not new by now) is ThinkGeek. The beauty of this is probably how drastically different they all are :)
It would be nice if eventually there will be an option for groups to be public so people can discover new things. That would make the service Meetup like, but Meetup's privacy settings fail worse than Facebook so I…
I actually somewhat empathize with lotus's view that Gmail should just be Email and that's it. I think it is bad UX if people who just want email and not these confusing new "social" business have their software change…
Not a journalistic investigation, but a while back I decided that I need a new gmail account. I signed it up using some different credentials, including a different name. However, I did not mention my old gmail account…
That reminds me of a show, where in each episode, the host interviews a celebrity in an upscale dinner setting. Beside the very enticing gourmet meals, the topic also focuses on various aspects of the interviewee's…
InsidersTalk - Meet people with stories to tell.
Wow, but I guess this doesn't work on file sharing sites like mediafire and some such?

On Chinese dictionaries. I actually don't think there is any difference from English ones, at least in the way I use them. When I use an English dictionary I use the word's spelling. I don't check how the word is…
I actually do not see SEO as the be-all and end-all to success. I actually had thought about this same problem myself, though I am not nearly as invested as you are. It looks like everyone agrees that in order for…
I actually see this as a strength of Twitter-like microblogging services. If you have no more contributions you fade gracefully into the background while the collective move on uninterrupted. I think Leoville is…
But you do acknowledge that you are a user in those networks, correct? You check those sites, and by reading (even without active commenting) you are a participant. Some people project themselves, others observe, that…
Old news. Though if fan pages really took off with places like suggested then time is really running out for Google Me. Unless there's some super cool feature that really blows Facebook out of the water, but it is hard…
