How Facebook Can Solve Its Mobile Problem: Build a Browser

pandodaily.com — When it recovers from the cataclysmic clusterfuck that was its IPO, Facebook will gather its team, round up its new friends from Instagram and Glancee, and ask the $100 billion question: What the hell is it going to do about mobile?

Illustrator Hallie Bateman Joins the PandoDaily Team Full-Time

pandodaily.com — There's one thing I love about Chinese moguls. Many of them have something absurd on their campus that has no definable ROI, but it's just something they've always wanted. Like a mini-Versailles. Or a petting zoo. In my tiny, far more cost effective way, I decided early on I wanted to invest in something that blogs almost never do: good artwork.

Netflix Should Copy Spotify and Bring Us a World of Apps

pandodaily.com — I'm starting to think that Spotify has the best model for content distribution on the Web. It's so good, in fact, the Netflix should just adopt every play in the Spotify book. Preferably now.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Drones

pandodaily.com — This is how New York City covered the traffic in 1980. It was a mish-mash of on-the-road CB reports, spotters in tall buildings, small planes flying over the highway. And this is what the traffic in New York City looks like right now. It's still a mish-mash, but an elegant and technically-savvy one.

Rickroll Meme In Tatters

Dashlane Launches iPhone App, Clumsy Thumbs Everywhere Rejoice

pandodaily.com — The thing that made the Kindle so great wasn't its kludgy hardware. It was the Kindle store. The incredibly ease of deciding you want something clicking the "Buy" button and there you are reading it. Plenty of work has gone into getting other sites close to this one-click holy grail, but the efforts have been siloed and had varying benefits.

How Facebook’s IPO Got Hijacked
