Venezuela - ...
I’d like to encourage you to take a glimpse into the messaging that surronds the election in Venezuela and take into account the religious influences, education opportunities (or lack there of), demographics, economic struggles, and overall suppression the people of Venezuela have endured under the rule of Hugo Chavez there just isn’t a more pure or direct campaign message that I...

Facebook Graph Search: SMART.
Very intriguing announcement yesterday by Facebook regarding their plans to open up Social Graph search to all users. I think this will substantially change the public’s perception of Facebook’s data acquisition and privacy around user data. This data has been accessible to Advertisers & App Developers for some time, but with Facebook opening it up to consumers I see this helping...
Civil F******** Conversations, Finally
parislemon:
It’s hard to say what I hate worse: the disjointed nature of trying to have a conversation on Twitter, or blog comments. Actually, no it’s not. It’s clearly blog comments. They are quite possibly the worst and most useless thing on the internet. But both of the aforementioned things are the reasons I love Branch.
I first wrote about Branch almost a year ago, when they were just...

Damn! That's a Good Idea: addvocate.co
Every now and then an idea comes along that makes me pause and say “Damn, that’s good”. It’s usually either seeing something being done smarter, breaking new ground with an existing idea, or something that just feels like it’s hitting the market in stride. I think addvocate is going to do all three of these things.
My perspective is coming from having had the chance to pitch or work...

Zuckerberg was clear from the onset: user experience over revenue, Long term over short term, mobile is their grow space but it’s not monetized yet, and last but not least. He strategically kept the level of ownership he has in order to never worry about loosing control. Facebook is openly operating different within the public markets than analyst are used to.

A Facebook Phone Design Mockup Worth Seeing →
Designer Tolga Tuncer designed a notification/messaging and photo centric Facebook smartphone. It is blue. It has straight edges (like Facebook) and it has dedicated buttons for Spotify and Instagram. It is featured on Yanko Design and reminds me of some of the early Microsoft phone mock-ups. Here is what it looks like. It has more character […]
From Wikipedia: Juicy (The Notorious B.I.G. song)

The song is a “rags-to-riches chronicle”[3] detailing his early years in poverty, his initial dreams of becoming a rap artist and early influences, his time in drugs and crime, and his eventual success in the music business and ownership of both a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis.

Facebook Tries, Tries Again on a Smartphone →
Can a software company build its own smartphone? We may well find out soon. This past week, Google completed its acquisition of the hardware maker Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, which could lead to the search giant’s making its own smartphone. But another software titan might be getting into the hardware game as well: Facebook.
