Re: The Ribbit | Apple Tablet - The big announcement

In a troubled economy, ongoing record levels of unemployment, and with all that need in Haiti, is the iPad something we should be getting so excited about?

It's an interesting counterpoint to consider in the face of all that iHype.

Re: Review: How should Twitter’s design shift? Seesmic gives us a “look”

Why should Twitter spend the cashola when others are willing to do all the heavy lifting (and dev) for them?

Once a third party has figured something out that works like a charm, Twitter can replicate it and knock the geniuses out of the loop. Isn't that what the brave new model of online capitalism is all about?! :P

Re: Time to Take a Stand - Yes, We’re Ending the DMs

Those *baka* who insincerely *fallow* as many as they can in order to get follow-back don't like auto-DMs. Thanx for supporting their insincerity and thinly masked ambitions for the spotlight and/or the pot of gold they mistakenly believe is at the end of the Twitter rainbow. Doh!

Auto-Dms can be an effective marketing and communication tool that enables strangers to take a *shallow* online relationship to the next level. Like a business card. Would u have us all burn our business cards too? Did u throw away your business cards when u wrote this blog? No? Why not?

I'm upset. If you want to build trust and a following, U don't just shut things down. Sucky business skills 101. U should have announced (high and low) a change to service... weeks ahead of the service change so users have time to consider their options. This change was done with a fruity note of facism... <g>

So it was for free. So it sucks to be me. Me helping U understand your own mistakes by coming at U with an honest, upfront comment- brings a small satisfaction. Hopefully, U don't repeat the same kind of mistakes in the future. And then U can thank me. :P

Obviously, there's technical reasons for your change of service. Of course, U won't discuss this publicly as this could undermine value U are trying to build for investors, angels and fans. I just thought to mention it so U know where I'm coming from, but I'll leave the technicals alone because I've been there and done that.

It's a pity that all your so-called entrepreneurial spirit didn't get you to see the obvious... innovations that would serve U, Twitter, and Twitter users. Allow me to spell it out for U:

1. Auto-DM as a paid Service. $100/annual subscription to keep out the riff raff and reduce the so-called spam. Again, if this is spam, I guess your mother calling u to say happy birthday is spam too.

2. Message folders in Social Too for organizing all the DMs: inbox and as many new, nameable folders as they like. Monthly email report on all folders, unread DMs, etc. Also part of the paid professional service.

Now U can make your millions and U can stop looking for a job... buy if you do make a million, all your base are belong to me. And your soul! :P

Madoff and Stanford scandals are the tip of the iceberg. U don't really think we're in this economic mess just becuz. Or do you? There's a cover up going on by our and other governments in their endeavor to avoid criticism and needed change. For example, why did governments allow David X. Li's problematic Gaussian Copola Function to become an international risk assessment standard without properly assessing the risk of that standard? Read more about that at http://tinyurl.com/bkdc001
