What Blackbird Pie could learn from QuoteURL
[Disclaimer: I am the author of QuoteURL.]
Twitter have just released Blackbird Pie, a tool to quote tweets that generates html code that can be embedded on your website. Much like another tool to quote tweets that generates html code that can be embedded on your website, QuoteURL.
I think this is great news, and somehow a recognition that the concept of having a simple way to quote tweets and...

Amazon Backs Off Text-to-Speech Feature in Kindle... →
Brilliant move from Amazon! Instead of entering on a legal battle with the dicks of the Author’s Guild (that fail to represent authors interests completely), they will simply give the option to opt-out text-to-speech feature and let the market give it’s message. Since almost no author will care about the tts version and release their work with it enabled anyways, and the very few...
How much does Twitter robots.txt worth?
That is the question.
So John Batelle has made some predictions about the future of Twitter… He argues, and I agree that Google may soon try to acquire Twitter, because of it’s most valuable asset: a huge network of people generating live updates and how this is important to have if you want to dominate the real time search area.
He also argues that Twitter is in a position where they can...

2009: Products I Can’t Live Without
I don’t know why I ended up on TechCrunch today, the website is not on my daily feed reading list, but after seeing this blogpost by Michael Arrignton, containing the 4-year table of products he “can’t live without”…
I couldn’t happen to reply with my own list of web products and startups I will need to survive in 2009, so, without further ado, here is the top web...

I have now officially lost my faith in Google
Over the past week, my Gmail account got disabled again, and recovered again, and disabled again. It has been more than 3 days that I cannot access gmail, google docs, blogger, orkut, google code host, google analytics and a bunch of other websites and services that are important to my life.
I am still a big fan of Google, and think their products are normally great, they are very useful and...

Internet Platforms revisited
On September of 2007, Marc Andreessen wrote an interesting blogpost about internet platforms with some good observations and a preview of what could be the next generation of internet platforms. The 2 most important points from that post that I would like to repeat here are:
1- If you can program it, then it’s a platform. If you can’t, then it’s not.
And:
2- the difference...

Sorry, your account has been disabled.
I got my Google account disabled this afternoon. :( I don’t remember doing anything nearly close to a TOS violation, so I pretty much believe it was a mistake on their part. I have contacted their support and I have one open ticket with them to recover my access… the page say I should wait 24 hours, so I decided to write a blog post about single sign ons, Google, ourselves and other...

Google joins the password anti-pattern bandwagon,...
Last entry on Google’s social network (Orkut) weblog is about a new contacts finding feature, not-surprisely it also uses the incredibly bad password anti-pattern we all hate so much for email accounts other than it’s own (Hotmail and AOL). Yes, there is a text note saying that they don’t store your password, but that’s not the point. Even if people trust Google (or Ning,...
