Maushopgirl,

: I love this phone. I was already a big google consumer pre-buying this phone so it was very easy purchase to make. The browser is so fast, touch screen works great and there are so many apps out there to try. It is so nice not to have to sync the phone to your computer - you can add contacts on the fly either from your phone or your computer. The only thing that I wish is that it had better battery life but as long as I remember to keep it plugged in when I am not using it I am typically okay.

@Maushopgirl Yeah I agree with all of that.

I was/am rather more of of an Apple user of many years - got the Mac, got the nanopod... But I've been a T-mobile customer for a long time too.

Never used an iphone to speak of but it looks like I never will now. This is a very cool phone. Not convinced I'll use the Google cloud to store sensitive stuff but I'm all iGoogled up and lovin it. Open source too.

And I just LOVE the *snap* as the cover flicks over. :p

Heard rumours of better batteries shipping already. Do hope so cos that's a pain.

Other than that, I'm a complete convert.

The impossible dream – Social Technology
Jan 03, 2009

Robert Scoble - FriendFeed For the past month or so I’ve had an idea percolating just beyond my grasp. I would occasionally get glimpses of what it was or what it wasn’t but never enough that I could get it down on paper – per se. I talked about the idea with Alexander van Elsas on Skype a week or so ago but as great as the conversation was it didn’ (Read More)

: Steven,

Great post for the start of the year. Thank you.

Mindful of the debates about socialmedian 'stealing' content :p I'll make some brief comments in this forum then a more considered posting on your blog.

There seems to be a theme of enfranchisement in the air, particularly apt given the appalling errors of judgment we're witnessing in the economies of the developed world.

In the 80s Vernor Vinge began a minor furor by introducing the concept of the 'technological singularity'. It returns as an interesting question now. The point is that we rush towards a singularity. Like a black hole, it sucks us in at an unprecedented rate, ignoring existing laws or understanding.

The 'ancients' had another word for it. They called it the 'Quickening'. A time when change accelerates at such a rate as to be almost completely unpredictable.

I agree completely with your post. Apart from the opinion that it won't happen in our lifetimes. There are forces that would stop it. But as we've seen in recent months, they are not the forces they (or, perhaps we) think they are. They are losing their grip in more ways than one. And then who is the authority?

Thanks again.

Let's Throw The DeadPool in the DeadPool - socialmedian
Oct 21, 2008

Submitted by Jasongoldberg: There was an interesting discussion on socialmedian today regarding the daily "deadpool" and "layoff tracker" updates on sites like TechCrunch.It's sensationalist journalism. It's done just for ratings. It's counter productive. It's hyperbolic. And it's time for it to go. There's no need for it and no place for it.All (Read More)

Jasongoldberg,
Oct 21, 2008
: MORE FROM THE POST: This writer/startup CEO also wonders outloud if the new media websites/blogs (the TechCrunch's, ValleyWag's, etc.) of the world will be as transparent when they themselves go sideways, screw up, or god-forbid have to layoff some employees. They too are still figuring out their business models. And that's ok.

I'd prefer we just change the tone entirely and focus on substance vs. getting ratings out necessary layoffs. In fact, I'd much rather read a thoughtful post by one of the editors of the new media websites/blogs on why they think tech startups should or should not tighten the belt right now. Lead that debate vs. encouraging the pile on. There are going to be A LOT of layoffs in the months ahead in startup land. We're just getting started on this. Let's get ahead of it and plan for resources for the laid-off. Take a leadership position in interviewing and highlighting companies who are hiring. Be part of the solution.

@michaelfidler It’s a dog eat dog world sometimes and it’s even more transparent online. I believe if you give somebody enough rope, eventually they will use it.

: I think this echos what happens quite often in our culture--we build em up to tear them down. The failure of a company is like anything else, there are valuable lessons to be learned, but those lessons are extracted by a careful and measured postmortem--not via sensationalism and attention grabbing headlines on some blog.

: Yeah great... Read Facebook begins to feel like one of those porn sites that grab-your-browser and fool-you-into-clicking-the-button that looks-like-the-release-button but really just spawns-another-browser-window with the advertiser's landing page in.

As an end-user, do I want that? I think not.

Let's read the writing on the wall. How many Facebooker's are starting anti-application groups in there?

Ads in apps certainly has a lot of mileage but there's also a distinct danger of killing the golden goose.
