If this was a one-time issue, I’d completely agree with you. I have a very very low traffic tumblog and I have 103 emails from wasitup.com since June 10, 2010 regardin downtime on my blog. I realize that lately the issue has gotten worse, but something really needs to be done. This is an ongoing issue that gives me the impression that they are incompetent and / or ignorant, so I figured...

That’s consistent with what we’ve seen when talking to Postling users who have tried group buying. Can Groupon fool America long enough to IPO?

Uh, I disagree. If that were true, we’d all be Quakers. Yes, it is true that all of us have different influence thresholds, so more exposure = more likely to change, but you also...

Facebook Shows Everything that's Wrong with the US...
razorsharp:
Forbes today has it’s new list of the richest Americans out, and there’s a bit of a shocker within the tech world: Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is now “worth more” than Steve Jobs!
This year, Zuckerberg, 26, added $4.9 billion to his fortune–vaulting to #35 on the Forbes 400 with an estimated fortune of $6.9 billion. Why the jump? Recent private equity investments in Facebook valued...
My vacation is cancelled :(
After being forced to cancel my 5-day trip to Aruba (sorry, Licky!), J and I made a backup vacation plan: a 3-day weekend in San Diego, at a 5-star hotel (the US Grant). I haven’t taken a real vacation in 2 years, so I was really looking forward to it. I’ve also been traveling a ton this month and was excited by the idea of a tranquil weekend with J. I have to be in SF Monday -...
Forrst introduces new invite process
razorsharp:
members may now view a list of people who’ve applied for an invite from the forrst.com homepage. From here, any existing Forrst member is able to use one of their invites to invite a new developer or designer into the community. The list shows the person’s name, Gravatar (if they have one [hint, hint prospective members: you should get a Gravatar!]), Twitter username, and URL they...
The Age of Premium Information OR A Penny For Your... →
mknell:
Information has no value until it’s been digested by the consumer. You can’t assume information will always be good because someone else says it will be. This sets up an assumption model where people will just put out crap to make their money back, since they’ve already got a subscriber paying for it. No other content model that I’ve seen doesn’t even let you SAMPLE information before...

Why’d Peter Goodman leave the Times?
Goodman:
“For me it’s a chance to write with a point of view. It’s sort of the age of the columnist. With the dysfunctional political system, old conventional notions of fairness make it hard to tell readers directly what’s going on.”
The suppression of opinions continues to fade away.
The reason I’ve always loved reading...
