@aral any reason you wouldn’t build for Firefox OS phones? -
@tbiz I don’t see how we could compete on user experience with iPhone / Nexus by building on Firefox OS. -
-
@asadotzler@tbiz Difference is (a) you were competing with Microsoft (b) it was software vs software (today, it’s SW vs SW+HW+services) -
@aral@asadotzler@tbiz And you think you will do better starting from scratch and get enough leverage (selling 5000 devices doesn't count)? -
@fabricedesre Yes. And selling 5,000 devices counts for version 1. Although we’ll be aiming for 10,000. +@asadotzler@tbiz -
@aral@asadotzler@tbiz 10k is still nothing. You should just build the UI/UX you want on top of firefoxOS. That will save you a lot. -
@fabricedesre What you call nothing is what I’m devoting my life and family savings to. Have some respect. +@asadotzler@tbiz - 2 more replies

@aral and (i’ve had too many ciders tonight to argue this rationally, maybe tomorrow), how do folks get paid? -
@mattycurry There’s this revolutionary new model where people pay you ;) -
@aral but doesn’t that create an underclass of people who can’t afford to pay, do have to submit? -
@mattycurry Right now we don’t have alternatives. That’s a dangerous place to be. It’s the road to feudalism. -
@aral so how to people promote their foods and services? Advertising has always existed in one form or another -
@aral ugh, “goods”, this conversation is better left to another day :-) -
@mattycurry ’night ’night :) -

@aral i’ve read the manifesto :-) though (recently) OKCupid’s test structure was crass,website managers should be able to perform algo tests -
@mattycurry The business model of corporate surveillance compells them to. You are the lab rat. -
@aral hands up, I am also the lab scientist. I have done such tests.

@aral Ad Folk will always say “this data does not help me make good decisions, I will move my budget to somewhere that does” -
@mattycurry Quite frankly, fuck ad folk. Fucking parasites. Now, let’s talk about adding value to the world :) -
@aral I am an Ad Man, I pay to show advertising. I want data so that I know my dollars aren’t being wasted.
