Re: Gowalla co-founder Josh Williams and Instagram designer Tim Van Damme to leave Facebook

Maybe Williams is working on a new company that will be able to allow the download of all that user data from Gowalla!

Re: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is terrible at Vine

I've always though his creepy Vines, where he stares at the camera, would be better off if he used Cinemagram.

Re: Apple disputes App Annie report: the app store did NOT grow just 13% this year — it grew by over 200%

I like how you admit your oversight and love how you then throw everyone else under the bus.

Re: Analyst: Dropbox and Box should be seriously worried about Google Drive | VentureBeat

gabediaz — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:51:03 -0000

If Google integrates Drive for every Google account user they will have an immediate reach but that doesn't mean these "users" are active users. I use both DrobBox and Box but use them to save different content. I'd probably use Drive but I wouldn't use it as my sole cloud drive just an additional option to Box and DropBox.

Re: Zlatan’s iPad app is here

Would love to be able to take a look at the digital edition. Reading about the Maradona style goal or how he studied some Ronaldo's moves could only be complimented with video. We all have "scenes" in our heads but over time those memories aren't as precise as we may think they are. Reading about a great sports moment is one thing...being able to read about a moment and then having the ability to see that moment in time is truly amazing. Great work Mag+ and Bonnier!!

The new users guide is a great idea. Sounds like a perfect way to direct new users to content that they might otherwise miss.

Re: Twitter In Talks To Buy TweetDeck [REPORT]

gabediaz — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:22:07 -0000

Twitter buys TweetDeck, re-brands it TwitterDeck...I could see that happening.

What I don't see is if Twitter cares about the MySpace, LinkedIn and Foursquare integrations. Also TweetDeck is releasing a web-based version of TweetDeck, wonder if Twitter would kill that or find a way to integrate its features? Definitely two different approaches to displaying Tweets when comparing Twitter to TweetDeck.

Re: Google: Social Media Success Will Determine Employee Bonuses [REPORT]

Your employees should be the first line of brand ambassadors. Who better to promote and speak in general about a product than your own employees?

Re: “Gilt for Indie Music” Promotes Bands, Helps You Find New Tunes

gabediaz — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:04:11 -0000

When I think of Gilt and Jetsetter I think of exclusive deals, quality and most of all luxury. With that said, I think you are doing GroopEase a big favor by labeling them as "Gilt for Indie Music."

Interesting concept, if they had a large user base they could really direct a lot of attention to up and coming artists. Makes you wonder if by the end of the year, if music companies will be paying to have their emerging artists featured on a site like this.

Re: Epsilon data breach results in a huge loss of customer data

Yes, I woke up today to emails from Disney Destinations and HSN saying emails were obtained.

Re: Another day, another deal for Facebook’s Zuckerberg?

Maybe he said million but your insider heard billion, if so I'd say he's buying a house.

Re: Stop worrying about nuclear power, you idiots

Article
"My understanding of the process comes from studying physics and mathematics as an undergraduate — which isn’t comprehensive."

Bio
"He graduated from the University of North Carolina, where he studied math and physics, in May 2010."

I need to stop being an idiot and redo my bio to include any/all classes where I "studied."

Re: Chrysler’s Twitter Account Accidentally Drops the F-Bomb [UPDATED]

gabediaz — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:26:20 -0000

Always keep your private and company accounts separate between multiple browsers, phone apps and 3rd party services.

Makes you wonder if this is a setup from New Media Strategies in order to try to get more followers on the Chrysler account or if the person really messed up and got fired.

Re: VeriFone Demands Recall of Square Credit Card Readers

gabediaz — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:06:09 -0000

Thank God there was no download on the link provided. Really doesn't make sense why VeriFone would release the app to the public if they truly wanted to help avoid card skimming.

Re: This Is Why You Always Pay Your Web Designer

gabediaz — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:24:04 -0000

I don't know many people leaving comments are homeowners but I personally know that no one will put up a new roof or build a fence around my property and then bill me.

Should be no different with design/development. Write your contracts, get a deposit up front and the rest on completion. No need to deliver a product without being paid.

Re: Top 6 Private Sale Sites for the Best Travel Deals

gabediaz — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 19:41:56 -0000

Wow, thanks for this, I'll have to register with these sites!

I've been a member of Jetsetter for a litte more than a month now and actually wrote about it earlier in the day: http://gabediaz.com/blog/fi... They have some of the best hand selected deals out there and the site is beautiful to look at/explore with their great photography.

If you register for Jetsetter via the link on my post you automatically get $25 to your account.

FoundersCard also has a great selection of travel deals but requires a yearly membership at a cost:

Re: iPad 2 Hardware, Allegedly From Apple, Spotted at CES [REPORT]

gabediaz — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:02:52 -0000

I am going to say no for two reasons.
1) As others have said, not sure why it would be labelled as iPad 2 on the back.
2) We've all read how much of a stickler Steve Jobs is, there is no way he would put speakers only on one side of the iPad. It's not symmetrical at all, doesn't flow well and I don't think he would allow this type of design to be cleared for the public.

Re: Twitter Helps You Find More Friends With New “People” Tab

gabediaz — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 07:45:19 -0000

I'm almost positive that the selections of View Suggestions, Browse Interests and Find Friends have been available for some time as text links via the Who to Follow area on everyone's main page. It's just that Twitter is now making this area more prominent by putting an option on the main navigation.

Re: Mozilla Launches F1, a New Way to Share Links

gabediaz — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 23:04:24 -0000

I actually like using Shareaholic on Chrome. One thing I noticed with F1 is that when it shares something to Twitter it uses a bit.ly link but seems there's no way to link up your API key to use your own bit.ly account...hopefully they will add this in a future update.

Re: Facebook Is Updating Its iPhone and Android Apps

gabediaz — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:07:24 -0000

I like the updates, the Photo, Status and Check In buttons on your news feed are a great addition. I'm still unsure about seeing my FB developer apps in my Pages though, as of now they provide no info.

Thanks for digging around and getting the story straight!

Re: Ron Conway Drops A Nuclear Bomb On The Super Angels [Email]

gabediaz — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:00:21 -0000

Exactly what I thought. It's almost a "save-face" type of email putting his best foot forward for the sake of good PR.

For a lack of better words, this tablet looks pretty sexy!
