Twitter Serves Up Ideas From Its Users →
SAN FRANCISCO — Companies big and small monitor Twitter to find out what their customers like and what they want changed. Twitter does the same. It started two years ago as a bare-bones service, offering little more than the ability to post 140-character messages. Then, it outsourced its idea generation to its users. The company watches how people use the service and which ideas catch on. Then...

Twitter Lists: The Unfollow Factories →
I’ve only been running Twitter’s new Lists feature for a few days, but it’s already changed my behavior in one important way: I’m unfollowing a lot of accounts. Of course, my use may not be typical,…

Hello, Time. →
Sigh. It’s nice to get the mention in Time, but this is pretty lazy reporting. And because it’s Time, it instantly becomes an authoritative source.

It’s astounding that Stewart can bang out a spot-on, devastating critique like this and CNN can still be on the air, blithely doing the same god damn thing the next day. In a rational world, the network would shrivel up and die from pure shame.
This is appalling. CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews are a big...

– Alex Payne — So You’re Moving to San Francisco
As you may recall, I posted a relatively lengthy piece about moving to San Francisco a few months ago. Alex Payne’s post on moving to San Francisco makes a very nice counter-take. I love this city, this state, this region very, very much....
My Top Five Beer Towns in the U.S.

3. SAN FRANCISCO, CA Screw San Diego and its surfer boys. The real beer is up in NoCal. The list of brewpubs is incredible for such a small city geographically, and its craft beer cred has been re-upped this year with the east coast distribution of 21st Amendment and Speakeasy.

ObjectiveC is not quantum mechanics, but learning it is a serious undertaking. It’s quite likely that Flash authoring will bring iPhone app development within reach of some folks that couldn’t or wouldn’t have been able before. Some of those people will find it suitable to their modest needs. Some will realize they want more power & control in their app and step up to ObjC. The...

Re:Re:Re:Re:Re:Reblogging
I wish there was a way for me to reblog things on Tumblr so that they show up in my Dashboard, but *not* on my Website. I’d like an option to reblog in a way that only other Tumblr users could see it.
Am I missing something? Can I do this?
