When it comes to social media, people rarely "exit" when they're very dissatisfied. A few people do, but most of the ones who are displeased with changes in the service respond by shifting some of their previous uses of it t

I don't know about you, but I've used Google Street View in residential areas a lot, and never once for "casing". I've used it to look up someone's address I'm going to visit and then get a view of that portion of the street so I could reco

That's a bizarre statement, and certainly not grounded in facts, yet you seem to believe it is factual. Plenty of long-term happily married men and women have had non-relationships sex. Your worldview is blinding you in a seriously astoun

I see things like this coming up in the literature from time to time, since the mid-90s or so when OO started becoming all the rage. Even back then, though, I could never convince myself that it was a good model, until Perl5 came along and

Some of the most interesting new ground in this field is happening in politics and music, so I recommend looking at those.

Okay then, your comment about this in the post was dishonest. Rather than explain that this is something you oppose and that's the reason you won't do it, you tried to explain it as something that "quality women" won't do (and then added

No, you're not alone. I've been playing Settlers for years, and it's long been a favorite of a number of friends of mine in different cities who don't all know each other. Perhaps it's been a niche game this whole time and will go "mainst

I think it may just be because the title "De-anonymizing social networks" didn't actually convey what the experiment found, and it's the result (as communicated in the title here) that got people interested enough to click.

Actually, I'm pretty sure year comparisons are more standard than month comparisons, for a lot of financial and economics stats. The press sometimes reports ambiguously, but since year-to-year comparisons tend to be more useful, they also

Are you really comparing the new design with what was the case a month ago? You sound like you're comparing the previous design with the older 2006-2008 design.

It's possible (though not very likely IMO) that that could turn out to be "much better" once app writers adapt their apps to it, and people get used to it. In the meantime, though, the viral aspect of apps was based on publishing actions p

Your analysis is much too simplistic, and lumps a number of very different episodes of Facebook change into one common pattern when in fact they differed significantly, and what happened after was different. See my comment in reply to devic

They've done a lot more than that. Most significantly: 1. There is no more news feed, they've eliminated it! What you now see on the homepage is basically a "status update feed". While they've enhanced status updates so that they now com

You're making a mistake in not looking at the substance of what people have said and are saying, and collapsing several very different episodes into "every time facebook makes a change". Reactions to Facebook changes, and results, have act
