January 5, 2009Letter from Apple CEO Steve JobsDear Apple Community,For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we ...Shared by Adam (5) Adam (9) adam2z (52) AJ Beck (24) Alan Dickson (15) Alex (183) Alexander Trafford (6) amartin (30) Andrés Milleiro (91) Andreas Spiegler (2) Andrew Lim (10) Andrey Smirnov (5) andy (2) Andy Sowards (208) Arijit Das (587) Ash Matadeen (33) Ashish Mohta (19) Beau Giles (24) Bill Romanos (262) Brad (5) Brant Burnett (12) Brian Richards (21) Bryan (28) Bryan Webster (74) bsoist (46) Chris Budden (4) Chris Hunt (40) Chris Stamas (23) Christine Cavalier (3) Christoph Spiegl (17) Cody Tolmasoff (9) Cortland Klein (5) Damien (17) Daniel Marks (9) Dare Obasanjo (13) Darrell Madore (287) Derek (21) DeWitt Clinton (65) Diggits57 (565) Domino (24) Elvis (26) Enrique Sierra Zaldo (63) Erhan Erdogan (35) eric (7) Eric Goldberg (17) erikeric (15) Felicity (22) Fletcher (46) Gilbert Trejo (9) GilesVG (22) gnusic (98) Greg Hinch (3) Grork (40) Ian Kaumeyer (16) Jack (64) Jacob Friis Saxberg (39) Jake (18) Jamie Diamond (11) janequigley (39) Jason Gamblen (51) Jeff McCord (3) Jeremiah Hoyet (62) Jim (3) Joe Haggard (50) Joe Manna (53) Joe Woodhull (1) Jonathan Fusellier (6) Jonny Oliver (2) Jordan Michnoff (2) Joseph McLaughlin (5) Journ (31) Julien Tartarin (36) Justin (16) Justin (47) Justin Pearson (43) kawade (8) Kazuhito Kidachi (20) Keith Lam (4) Kevin (6) Kevin Rose (9) Kevin Zolkiewicz (43) kosmar (33) Lars Trebing (1) Laughing Squid (106) Laurie (25) Liz (14) Lord Matt (90) Lynn (1) Manos Matsakis (3) Maria Jose (14) Mark (7) Martin Gordon (41) Masafumi Otsune (217) masayuki inoguchi (68) Matt (35) Matt Albiniak (11) Michael Battle (14) Mike (3) Mingo (1) msk (16) Muhammad Saleem (998) nicholas einstein (2) Nicolas Hoizey (23) niu (36) Noah Mittman (8) Olivier Felten (5) otsune (223) Pål Degerstrøm (39) Patrick Verbruggen (4) Paul Minshall (1) Peter H (31) peter harris (5) Randy (72) Raydacteur (11) Ricardo Macari (13) Richard Cunningham (4) Rob Owen (17) Robert Goodwin (11) Rodrigo SEPULVEDA (2) Romeo Franco C.

In 2009, Facebook Connect Makes Us Forget Facebook Widgets (10)

Silicon Alley Insider (1960) permalink
When Facebook launched its platform in 2007, executives said it would become an "ecosystem" full of Web-based software applications that would make their creators money by solving user needs. Their advantage over the rest of the Internet would be connective tissue that Mark Zuckerberg called "the social graph" -- his metaphor for the dataset that describes Facebook users and maps the connections between them. It never really happened, and last week, Facebook reportedly pulled the ...Shared by (jeff)isageek (92) Alberto (20) Chris J. Guerra (42) Daniel (29) Dare Obasanjo (13) Jesse Stay (122) Joel (51) Nick DeMartino (27) robdiana (184) Teresa (45)- Jesse Stay said: I think apps (they're not widgets) on Facebook still have a place. There are still those that enjoy just hanging out on Facebook, and that's where those will benefit. I'm still encouraging clients to build Facebook apps if they don't yet have an audience.

If you could search your friends’ thoughts, interests, and activities, would that be a better search experience? In many cases, it would be. Searching for restaurants, books, or movies, would turn up recommendations from people you actually know. If you are researching a trip to Florence, Italy, you might discover ten friends who have been there already, and could ask for advice on what to do.

Named ‘Cuill’ and very much in stealth mode for the first part of the year, they finally emerged end of July 2008 with a ‘massive’ search engine that would rival the most popular search engines of our time with an enormous index, an innovative interface and some nifty features. Rival, it never did.

- Nate said: This is further evidence that no startup will be able to defeat Google at their own game. Will anyone be able to stop their monopoly?Something must rise up, but it will have to be through something whose potential is yet unforeseen. From 2008, it doesn't look like that will be social networking as we know it, but perhaps there is promise in something social.
- Rex Hammock said: Not cuil. Proving once again, being a Google (or any smash success company) alumni is not a guarantee of success. (Of course, FriendFeed proves that it's not a guarantee you WON'T succeed either.)
