  1. It's always the butler >>> "Vatican leak inquiry: Pope's butler named as suspect" bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
  2. @adenas Marc Andreessen blogged about this ~5 years ago. I summarized. Original article gone, my summary here blog.entchev.com/2007/10/13/mar…
  3. @hugoestr Yes! Being all things to all people never works well. It's like saying "We fly spacecraft and we also sell Band-Aids."
  4. @mjasay That web pages have grown in size is undeniable, so it's a burden on mobile regardless. But the numbers quoted can't be right.
  5. @mjasay Grossly exaggerated. Tracking code is nothing. Average image size (content) on the web is 30K. Does the avg web page have 33 images?
  6. @jessebishop Las Vegas is all but "abandoned", which is what the article author calls Google Plus.
  7. Ouch! "Google Plus is an abandoned city in the desert." But also "How Google Can Beat Facebook Without Google Plus" theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
  8. "Facebook has said it expects the Instagram app to close sometime this year." fstoppers.com/why-did-facebo…
  9. @Thierry_G #facebook Many people, a lot smarter than me, have long been saying that there's something very wrong with this picture.
  10. Blogged: The absurdity of Facebook ads tenthcave.com/2012/05/absurd…
  11. More Americans Worried About Cybarmegeddon Than Terrorism, Study Finds wired.com/threatlevel/20…
  12. Contact info for Princeton University job ( twitter.com/atanas/status/… ) email resumes to jmudry@Princeton.edu and dmccall@Princeton.edu .
  13. Princeton University looking for short-term help with GIS Data Scrubbing and SDE loading. $15/hour, negotiable with experience. (cont.)
  14. @gisuser Thank you! :)
  15. @ajturner Yes! I used to work for a company which had a website, email etc. at .biz. It was a constant source of confusion.
  16. @ajturner In many instances the .com is owned by someone else.
  17. Facebook served me an ad for seniorpeoplemeet [dot] com. That stung.
  18. @kbrennangisp @jeffharrison Right. Dixon wrote about the 4 types of mobile apps, but can extend to web services as well cdixon.org/2012/05/21/fou…
