Beating on the dead horse a little more... (stock phrase :) The thing that bugs me about "doesn't mean what you think" phrase (in general... forget its use in this thread) is that in my opinion no one can know what someone else is thinking.

Yes. 2s/aim/initially aim/ I rarely use Javascript (certainly not for email) so I wouldn't know about all the latest Gmail "features". :) What I was hinting at was a sort of evolutionary pressure on Google... to start using personally iden

"subscribe to a common message bus" I like this idea a lot. Give us the raw data feed and let us build our own applications to process it.

It's baffling. Human mimicry I guess. At least I know there are some people reading this stuff who also see it as strange as I do.

That's why I said it was not personal. I just randomly chose this one random post in one random thread. There are hundreds to choose from. Anyway, I'm over it. Maybe using these oft repeated phrases serves some purpose. Your last sentenc

The difference between Gmail and Facebook is that Gmail did not aim to track who you correspond with. Facebook is focussed on personally identifiable information. They have made it their business from Day 1 to know who your correspondents

Oh man, I lol'd when you wrote "don't think it means what you think it means". Whether it was intended or not, you have cured my annoyance. I guess a laugh was all that was needed. Thank you! Carry on with the mindless memes. (I did ini

IMO = in my opinion How did you get your numbers for your conclusion about "most perspectives"? That is not just an opinion, correct? Otherwise you might have used words like "I think" or "in my opinion". Another related conclusion I'm cu

You think they had this functionality in the works before PadMapper? It certinaly doesn't look good for CL, IMO, if they only started working on it after PadMapper started gaining momentum. It's an interesting question.

I think this is the reason VC need kids to build hyped contraptions of unneeded but usefully obfuscating complexity that can be pitched to investors as "the next big thing". Adults would just skip the hype, the faux productivity, and do th

"Private messages" and "Facebook" are mutually exclusive. Facebook is the antithesis of privacy. Dreamers think FB has value. Does the average person, of any age, think privacy has value? What's more valuable? Can all value be measured in m

"means what you think it means" Can we find some other way to convey this message without using that same tired old phrase over and over and over again? As soon as I see this phrase by brain automatically shuts down because it tells me the

I've seen this done with specific bands, but this is a great idea for a website. Regardless of how well they execute, it's just a great idea. Lyric sites are huge, but many of them are rather crappy (I guess because they try too hard to m

It's not the data, it's the delivery. If everyone could have a spot in all the major ISP's and datacenters and set up their own little racks, mirroring some interesting content for high speeed access around the world, then there's no need
