DISQUS

if you still have an invite left, I'd like to have one ;-) Thanks!

Mathew, thanks for this! Have been using Google Reader for years. Just installed feedly, and it looks really cool.

Well, after having watched two of those Hitler videos, I'm still not sure what I should think of them. I don't find them particularly funny, but that's probably just because I understand German and know what they're actually saying.

I agree that you should be allowed to make fun of (almost) anything, including, of course, Adolf Hitler. And the fact that the Hitler video meme is so popular is probably a good thing, because it shows how far away the horrors of the WWII are. But at the same time, that also worries me - because what happened then should never be forgotten. "Those who fail to respect history are doomed to repeat it" wrote one commenter over at TechCrunch. That may be a bit too dark - but isn't there some truth in that as well?

So BusinessWeek is the reason that Twitter went down? Thank god, I already feared that there has been another earthquake somewhere.

@Dave: Do you know the Common Crafts Show? They did something very similar, a series of short videocasts about web services in "plain english". http://commoncraft.com/show

Mathew, could you maybe elaborate a little bit on your Dunkin Donuts / Skype business model? Would love to hear that... ;-)

Merci! J'ai pris Ugz9JPRgf2.

Great idea, Dave!

Here's two sites from Switzerland that go in the same direction, although none of them is an "all-inclusive" platform:

- Smartvote is a site that lets candidates answer a set of questions on different political issues. Users can then go to the site, answer the same questions and based on that get recommendations on who to elect.

- NZZvotum is a blog platform hosted by Zurich-based newspaper NZZ. It has blog channels for all the political parties and lets the candidates blog themselves. It proved to be very popular in the months before the national election in October.
