Disappointing. There's no discussion of how much they paid, or how they actually got their domain name. From the article, it makes it seem as though they are in a lease to buy situation.

This is hilarious. That was the original definition of the term, before 2010.

I think it was done more as a literary flourish than anything else.

Ironically for a community so adamant about data liberation, there is no way to delete your posts or identity. I am surprised there aren't laws to force site owners to allow users to delete their information.

The guy who led the development is Zuck's sidekick.

The last time Blake Ross cloned an app for Zuck was when Facebook Answers came out to compete with Quora. I guess Zuck feels like Snapchat is a threat? I wonder if he tried to buy them.

Blake Ross Clones usually scare people, but they never work out. I don't think Snapchat has much to fear.

Now you know why people hate working at Twitter.

Is it possible to do this if you use Amazon SES? IIRC you have to validate every address you use to send outbound mail.

French entrepreneurs are upset because they can't get as rich in an exit as they would like, so they protest? And you want the rest of the country to support you in this? Okaaaaay.... This is the sort of greedy childishness that we could do without in the tech business world. If you're in it for hacking cool shit, you're not going to spend this much time thinking about your exit. This is similar to people protesting the tax rate on lottery winnings -- absurd.

Go back to work, stop whining.

Almost all of the gripes people have with Apple Internet services and software involve Cue's products, not Forstall's. But because Cue doesn't have any interest in the top job, and because of his seniority, he ducks blame every time.

Actually, it's an Eddy Cue problem.

I am guessing that Google is Lego's largest enterprise customer.

Maybe Jobs just felt that most non-profits are scammy and corrupt? Even (RED) turned out to be grossly mismanaged.

Facebook is forking Android in a similar fashion.

It appears as though they copied Path's design on the iPhone, and Dailybooth's on the web.

At this point, it is a bit sketchy and weird that all of Twitter's execs and board members continue to keep Noah's name out of the picture, especially with all of the press on the matter recently. Especially since Noah has always been such a mellow and humble guy. Avoidance of future lawsuits, I bet.

The guy's office is messy and far from stylish. This is the design guru at Microsoft?!

I think the photo says it all.

I have to agree with this. It's obvious these guys are smart and savvy. Couldn't they have come up with a new, brilliant idea instead of a Pokemon clone? I hope this gets acquired so they can spend their 20s doing something more meaningful.

That would be very interesting. Does it get updated in realtime and scale to millions of users?

I disagree. Some information is worth paying for. If it was voted up, others agreed. You are always free to avoid it. How will we get high quality investigative content if none of us wants to pay for it?

And the fastest growing language in China is English.

This implicitly means Facebook does count. You don't have to answer this one.

In light of YC's recent tie-up with Facebook, it's good to see that there might very well be a voice of caution within the organization.

Jobs was entirely wrong about the web, and continues to be. WebObject's big-company focus ($50,000 for a license) is precisely why it is now dead. Meanwhile Personal HomePage script (now known as PHP) powers the world's largest website -- the little guy's tools won.

I don't understand why they feel morally superior to people creating games. Have we devolved to the point where search engine marketing is considered so prestigious an occupation that its practitioners feel they are able to make jokes about others?

The Kik fairy tale never made sense. One of the guys behind the company was a PM at RIM, if I remember correctly. The entire UI of the app is a direct rip of BlackBerry Messenger. It was only a matter of time -- I wonder when RIM will sue them.

We're too busy working on features to worry about time-consuming things like welcome messages and how-to pages for right now.

.. But there's time for blogging and commenting on HN?

This is a much bigger deal than anyone will let on publicly. I suggest someone find the anonymous Quora answer for "why is Facebook working on a Questions service"
