in Facebook’s redesign: Good concept, but not there yet on VentureBeat
when a rollout this bad happens, usage should spike briefly as users investigate the changes, then level off a bit while they give it a chance/wait for a rollback. the reason you're not seeing a drop in traffic is because the userbase is collectively waiting for one of two things - an alternative site to replace fb with, or the rollback. If nither materializes this month, and sufficient fixes aren't in place to appease longtime users, the april numbers WILL be impacted severely.

It just takes a lot of time to manually export all your contact info, etc, in preparation to leave. Judge this redesign not by user polling, but by how quickly migration tutorials appear and how much traffic they get.

Um... As faithful as the subs are, I think it'd be more Peaksian 'naked'.

in TWiT Update : LOL: The Life of Leo on Leo Laporte: The Tech Guy
Lots of great ideas here, definitely I'd side on the "keep something* pumping out on the off weeks". And, it would help if it were a "something consistent" - Like, all the off-weeks are interviews, or staff bio shows, or just off the wall craziness.

"Best of" format is definitely REALLY hard for TWiT specifically, since the topics become WAY old news so fast. But, sticking with the TWiTs for a moment, either having a guest host (it would have to be a "Leo"-type person, someone who isn't the 1000-meter-deep geek), or having even someone entirely outside tech host a show on an entirely different topic - "This Week in Wine", "This Week in Horse Racing", and let the regulars try to roll with it... Would make for interesting listening, maybe?

Also, a way cut down 15-20 minute mini-show featuring a "day in the life" for one of the cast, their ruminations on how tech affects their lives, etc... Kind of a spotlight feature that the fans could still relate to?
