“But no matter what Diaspora looks like now, the point is to have many different versions hosted all over the place. Some will look different than others — so it make sense to have a simple, clean base to build off of. The team notes that the public alpha of the project is still on course for October, and will include Facebook integration off the bat, as well as data portability.” - × × ×

“Recommendation engine Hunch is rolling out partnerships with seven large sites to provide personalized recommendations for their products, services, or content. Interactive Corp’s Gifts.com, Bluefly, Buzzfeed, Heyzap, ShopStyle, Milo and FanBridge are the initial partners, and Hunch says more will be announced shortly. “These companies will either build applications that reside on Hunch.com, embed Hunch functionality within their own sites, or both,” says Hunch.” #hunch - × × ×

Где-то там должен быть поблизости имхонет, но в имхонете нету Катерины, которая бы сделала процесс набора мнений интересным занятием. И имхонет всё ещё меряет артефакты в людях, а не людей во всём, что им заблагорассудится. Посмотрим, когда/кто поймёт как надо, и устроит в местном мире. (Ну, или когда придёт Ханч на русском языке.) - × × ×

Альтернативный вариант от ТвиттерТаймс строится вокруг самих твитов, а не вокруг ссылок, что не так весело (и не слишком далеко ушло от ленты, и много протраченного пространства): http://twittertim.es/urbansh... - × × ×

Хороший формат. У меня из этого же ряда стоит Flipboard for iPad. http://www.flipboard.com/ - toylike

Ну, флипборд-то да, давно. - × × ×

История того, как кинули Аррингтона, продолжается, и хотя всё это, конечно, ugly stuff, главный вывод, который из этого можно извлечь, как ни странно — не спускай обиды на тормозах, чтобы подтекст “Don't fuck with us” никогда не тускнел. Ну, и парни, которые решили кинуть Техкранч (т.е. Аррингтона, который, как известно, бывший юрист, которому надоело зарабатывать своим скромным юридическим трудом, и у которого амбиции были таковы, что он порвал всех в итоге), явно не подумали, куда лезут и с чем связывают свои судьбы. Судя по репликам в посте, вся история достойна сценария от Коэнов. «После травления сжечь», скажем. - × × ×

Ролик симпатичный, без говорящих людей, с обычной хипстерской музыкой, с Многозначительными Кадрами О Неважном, с простыми примерами нового дизайна и всем таким — http://www.youtube.com/watch... - × × ×

“To my relief, the Russians didn’t have a dark cell in a labor camp waiting for me. But they did spring a terrifying surprise: at the last minute, Ponomarev asked me to give a talk—in the plenary session—on how Russia can build a Silicon Valley. The 500+ attendees included seven heads of state (including Silvio Berlusconi of Italy and Lee Myung-bak of Korea), two former Presidents, several finance ministers, some Russian Governors and Duma members, and, from the U.S., our Chief Technology Officer and our Ambassador to Russia. If that weren’t enough, they told me that the session was being broadcast live on two TV stations. And seated directly behind the podium where I was to deliver the speech were Presidents Mbeki of South Africa and Abdul Kalam of India, and a former vice-premier of China. ¶ I started my talk by stating, quite bluntly, that I don’t believe that there is any way that Russia will ever be able to build a Silicon Valley: it lacks the requisite networks and culture of entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and openness. But Russia isn’t alone—even Boston’s Route 128, which was once a rival to Silicon Valley, lacked these ingredients and so bit the dust. And no other region in the world has been able to replicate Silicon Valley’s success.” - × × ×

But Russia will need to start leveraging its own strengths to build a unique capability. - reflexing

Показалось слегка наивно, но в общем — всё верно. А что делать — написано в первом комментарии :) - reflexing

“DENARRATION: The process whereby one’s life stops feeling like a story.¶ OMNISCIENCE FATIGUE: The burnout that comes with being able to know the answer to almost anything online.¶ CHRISTMAS-MORNING FEELING: A sensation created by stimulus to the anterior amygdala that leaves one with a strong sense of expectation.¶ INTERNAL VOICE BLINDNESS: The near universal inability of people to articulate the tone and personality of the voice that forms their interior monologue.¶ STOVULAX: A micro-targeted drug of the future designed to stop fantastically specific O.C.D. cases, in this case a compulsion involving the inability of some people to convince themselves after leaving the house that the stove is turned off.” #trendtaste - × × ×
