Conversations Come To A Screaming Halt On Twitter; Users Simply Move To Friendfeed (182)
on TechCrunch (4254) permalinkA key feature of Twitter has been down most of this week: Replies. The core Twitter service itself is alive, but the team took the Reply feature down on Tuesday when the service started to slow. As of now, Friday afternoon, Replies are still down. Disabling certain features is Twitter’s recent attempt to keep their frail architecture from failing completely. They tried it out during Apple’s recent WWDC keynote and it worked, so they’re clearly ...Shared by 88michael (8) Aaron (40) AaronTN (78) Adam (23) Adam (100) adamconner7 (143) Albert (54) Alejandro-S (30) Alessio Bragadini (3) Alex Porter (3) Amy Gahran (20) andré.friedrichs (151) Andrew Currie (53) Andrew Ruess (199) Andy C (50) assbach (48) atul (231) av8612 (14) Ben (27) Bert DuMars (16) Bhavesh (56) bhr1 (6) Bill HR (10) Brandon Gerena (0) Brenton (4) C.B.

- wilson said: A company must know which of their features or services is more valued... in this case, replies was.anyhow, the reason I'm linking to this is that there is an absolutely fantastic picture there of a traffic jam. it is a poster image of what happens when there are misguided policies that absolutely just jams up the way things are supposed to work.

Web3.0 for dummies (12)
on The Next Web (79) permalinkA few weeks ago I saw a presentation by Dutch internet strategy adviser Freek Bijl. In his presentation he used a few simple but charming analogies to explain what Web3.0 is and what technologies it uses. The presentation was clear and easy to understand which is rare when it comes to technical stuff like this. I complimented him on it and asked if he could make an English version available online so I could link ...Shared by Ben (345) Bjorn (4) Dirk Schrama (0) eschnou (16) Freek (0) hnouwens (66) Hoof (31) Karin (33) Marque (47) rachna (15) Simon (23) Thijs (9)Contribute comment

The State of Open Mobile OSes (67)
on TechCrunch (4254) permalinkOpen operating systems, for most folks, means that the operating system is essentially free. The average computer user knows that Linux is free, as in beer, while Windows costs money. The case is the same for mobile OSes although, until very recently, the idea of purposely using an open OS has been a fairly nebulous concept. To be clear open mobile OSes have been around for years, starting most prominently with the QTopia project that ...Shared by Alberto (9) Alex (43) Andreas (3) Andrew (48) AndSig (6) ani625 (254) Ankur (47) Antony (23) arturo.servin (67) Aspi (3) bddemir (7) Ben V (22) cesaracardoso (45) Chuck LeDuc (13) Dan (112) Dan (32) Dan Kearns (17) danutz (25) David (6) David (23) Deborah Petersen (1359) Dirk Schrama (0) dobata (540) elmarco (2) eschnou (16) evo (26) FelipeC (11) George Siemens (4) gustav (5) iAdramelk (28) Jason (3) Jawad Shuaib (22) jccamus (51) Jeff (20) jfriend (3) Julius (40) LouCypher (219) Marcio (6) Matias Sulzberger (34) Meryn Stol (41) Mr. BabyMan (534) MrT (17) Nicola (33) ntrtek.clipboard (104) Oneiros (133) pedrosanta (16) Peety (287) Pheelmore (6) Pramod (185) Razvan (1) Rex (262) rojajimmy (3) Roland Tanglao (107) rony john (655) saj (22) Sandra (46) sarahintampa (154) Splotche (29) stratus (17) Sun Tzu (915) Terence Lo (26) Thaddeus (15) Thillai (2) Tim (68) Tim (97) Timothy (105) Vishal (21)Explore read four notes

Modeling The Real Market Value Of Social Networks (141)
on TechCrunch (4254) permalinkIt’s time to start comparing the big global social networks on something other than unique visitors and page views. I believe an effective way to value a particular user is based on the average Internet advertising spend per person in the country they live in. The higher the spend, the more value the social network can get out of the user by serving them advertising and other products.

SecondBrain, definitely worth a second look (10)

It promised me to aggregate all my content in order to organize life 2.0. “Yeah yeah”, I thought, “Seen it, been there, done that - never worked for me”. So my attention went to one of the other twenty start-ups that are brought under my attention on a daily basis.

Google Drives Towards Microsoft and Adobe With Gears (137)
on TechCrunch (4254) permalinkGoogle launched Gears last May, and for the first year of its release it was considered a minor, niche product that a few developers and users may take advantage of to allow offline access to web applications.
