Great insight into Jason Fried: The Way I Work

Loads of great stuff to quote, I choose this one. Thankfully, my boss sees it almost like this. I usually get to work between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Of the 16 people at the company, eight of us live here in Chicago. Employees come to the office if and when ...

Scobleizer: Foursquare, Gowalla maybe bigger than Twitter revisited

About five weeks ago Robert Scoble wrote a blog post wondering whether location-based service/game Foursquare could become bigger than Twitter. After listening to the 10/15/2009 Gillmor Gang (video) I am inclined to at least give in to "Twitter is nice, but we ain't seen nothing yet." Here is the money quote, ...

Espn mobile site adds video – plays on iPhone

(this is also testing the wordpress iphone app) Espn's NHL site has been poorly updated during the off-season and the mobile version was still kind of lame content-wise compared to e.g. tsa.ca/nhl. To me, an NHL-app would be king, like MLB-app that livestreams games. I'd pay 15 euros to watch games ...

Mitch Joel interview about Six Pixels of Separation now online

And it was a pleasure. Chatting with Mitch Joel about his new book Six Pixels of Separation, that is. While I would rate it of more importance that you go and read the book, why not take the time to listen to this very intelligent yet humble man explain the ...

What did you do last weekend? I spent hours managing Twitter followers…

Interesting post by Howard Lindzon about what Twitter could and should do with 100m dollars. I would really appreciate it if they would work on step #1 rather soon... Here is what happened: I manage several accounts and one of them, a fictional TV character, received a lot of attention on ...

iTunes-iPhone sync is just not ready for heavy usage

Techcrunch's Devin Coldeway wants iTunes lite - I just want it to work like a program in the year 2009 is supposed to work. Issue #1 (and I really don't know why they won't fix this): I am listening to a track on my iPhone, for the sake of the example ...
