Google's Social Network: Gmail
thegongshow: Google+ doesn’t make sense as a strategy. Its superfluous to Google’s existing assets. Why did Google need a Facebook-clone-like social network product? They already had an amazing social network in Gmail!  I have 10x the social interaction inside of Gmail compared to Facebook.   Facebook has photo sharing, but Gmail gets all the really good photos of my family that the luddites in...

There’s something so boringly obvious about Kara Swisher’s behind-the-scenes look at how Facebook came to own Instagram. To fans of Silicon Valley drama (amongst whom Swisher seems to count herself), it’s a breathless tale of luck, determination, and picking the decisive moment to pivot. From a more critical vantage, it’s the story of a rich white son of privilege selling his company to another...

intsunny: deafmuslimpunx: Until Monday morning, Kiera Wilmot was a well-behaved student at Bartow High School in central Florida with good grades and an interest in science. But that morning, she mixed some chemicals together in a small water bottle that caused a tiny explosion. There was a bang and some smoke, but nobody was even close to being hurt.  I remember doing experiments like that...

cat: so like in our tumblr work chat program it alerts me whenever someone says my name but my fucking name is cat and like do you know how often tumblr employees, out of all people, talk about cats? do you know how many times i’ve arrived to a chat, breathless and disheveled, only to realize someone is discussing cat memes, or cat litter, or general feline affairs? A LOT OF TIMES

winesburg, ohio: Take time off.  →
winesburgohio: I quit my job last month. A lot of people were surprised. To be honest, even I was a little surprised. Since then, though, I’ve fielded a lot of emails, phone calls, coffee dates, and dinner conversations about The Big Decision. How does it feel? How did I make it? Was it the right one?  Killer post.

Deeply deeply shameful
jkottke: I was offline yesterday evening and this morning, so this is a little tardy but what the Senate did in not passing the already woefully wimpy gun control legislation yesterday was embarrassing and shameful. Fuck them. For 45 senators, the carnage at Sandy Hook Elementary School is a forgotten tragedy. The toll of 270 Americans who are shot every day is not a problem requiring action....
