And this isn't some wishy-washy Google+ "real name" nonsense, either -- you can't just offer up a real-sounding name to attach to your comment and be done with it. According to the text of the bill, the anonymous poster must agree to attach his or her ... Continue reading →

:( I just got word that my dog Silva (lives with my parents) collapsed and has 24 - 48 hours to live. She's 15 years old, and her liver is shutting down. This is a photo of my family in 2008 (apparently this is the last time we took a family photo with Silva). Continue reading →

Facebook is not only on course to go bust, but will take the rest of the ad-supported Web with it. Given its vast cash reserves and the glacial pace of business reckonings, that will sound hyperbolic. But that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Facebook, with its 800 million users, valuation of around $100 billion, and the bulk of its business in traditional display advertising, is now at the heart of the heart of the fallacy. The daily and stubborn reality for everybody building businesses on the ... Continue reading →
