MySpace killed MySpace. Duh.
(This is a repost from my personal blog , but I figure the audience here is also, if not more, appropriate.) I don't usually read anything that Robert Scoble says, because he's about as relevant to technology as my cats are, but the High Scalability blog...
Twitter sucks and must be run by amateurs
I can't say that I've ever known any kind of Web-based service to suck as much as Twitter, yet be as simple and popular. It really boggles the mind. As just a regular user, it can be annoying enough with the constant outages and failures. As a developer...
Microsoft is...
It sounds like something to write in a one year anniversary post, but I have to say that I get slightly annoyed at what people say Microsoft is. It's the typical news story and blog comment noise, and I probably shouldn't care, but it still annoys me...
Why Facebook didn't really change anything, and people are zombies
Calacanis wrote a rant about Facebook that causes me to question his credibility. Seriously, is he a lucky entrepreneur or just full of it half of the time? Like many "pundits" in the tech field, he tends to jump into the fray with whatever fashionable...
Twitter: I begrudgingly get it
More than two years ago, I made a post on here about how I didn't get Twitter. It's one of the most popular posts I've ever made for some reason, which perhaps I'm not proud of. I been meaning to follow up on that for, well, at least a year, because obviously...
Caught in a flesh storm, with a 90% chance of satisfaction

Mix09 Twittering
I've poo-poo'd Twitter before, because I haven't found it to be anything other than another channel to keep up with, but I'll try being active about using it whilst at Mix this week. If I make meaningful connections (and find fun people to hang with at...
Message to the .NET world: Seriously, the UX does matter
The new gig I started in December as the company's technical architect ("technical" to make the distinction that it's not "information architect") has been an interesting experience for me thus far. My experience at Insurance.com was excellent in so many...
Nine years of CoasterBuzz
As I posted earlier today , CoasterBuzz has now been around for nine years. That's a fourth of my life! In that time I've been married and divorced, owned three cars, had eight jobs, wrote a book and God knows what else. It's a long time. In the last...
Twitter is all about Scoble? Twitter is about something else
It seems like a good post from the folks at Twitter has been interpreted by Scoble as being all about him . I gotta say, I'm just not seeing it. I'm also not sure why Scoble is throwing such a public tantrum about Twitter's down time. Regardless of what...
