Good find Aviah. I wonder, did Twitter patent "follow"?Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]

Ron: That is the one area where I agree. The competitive rejections are ones I question. I can see why they do it but I don't like it, it spurns the spirit of innovation.Chris: Overall, I agree with you. What core apps (when you set aside open principles) are we missing? It is a good question. The one thing I would say is that there is an element […]

Sounds pretty far fetched that we could develop a system to overcome a 75% unemployment rate even with stratospheric government subsidy, simply because I don"t see human nature of "wanting more" changing at the needed magnitude. The first thought that came to me reading this post is that Ford and Ayn Rand should go bowling together. Would be q […]

How come you are never kept on the thread when there is something "really" compelling being discu […]

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Would be interested in hearing LinkedIn's rationale for this decision. Also surprised that this is the type of thing they are spending time (unless of course it has become an acknowledged pervasive problem for abuse).Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]

I do not disagree from a logistics perspective. But Apple succeeds as an experience company and let's face it, they succeeded quite well by not always listening to users. While often not the right approach, it works for them. I can't deny that being more open is quite a change from their proven methods and DNA.Read more comments by Lou Paglia […]
