This is true and well documented on the website Truth in Olive Oil, run by Tom Mueller who also wrote a well respected book debunking olive oil production. There's a great guide to buy olive oil on the site here: http://www.

This is great to hear, glad you're able to get to the right people so quickly!

Pregnancy doesn't really affect your ability to work (except for complications that require bedrest, and even then you work from home). A newborn does require care from the mother, but many women are able to return to work full time after 6

Thanks for making Fb Insights clear, it's a mess in there. You also have to be sure Facebook is reporting the right numbers in the first place.

Another point to consider is that you can rarely get away with building a native mobile app alone. Unless you create a beautiful utility that is a standalone experience, you'll want to be able to re-engage users via email and perhaps spread

This is a highly plausible scenario for how the price could have gone from a more sensible $300M to $1B if Instagram said no to a sale and raised a round instead.

Ha. Craig would probably do this, and then say "Hold on" while he plunks down his book on Tokyo Art Galleries: http://craigmod.com/journal/kickstartup/ What can I say? The man is prolific.

The look book was awesome, it brought all the invitations on the site to life. You could curl up on a couch and flip through beautiful stationery at your own leisure. It made it a pleasure rather than a chore by simple getting it off the c

Just wait till he talks about A/B testing the name from MelonCard to PrivacyPlum to SafeSheperd. How many hours did you spend on that domain name suggestion website?

Glad to finally know the story! Are you guys the reason why they locked the 500 offices permanently (so you can only get in with a iPhone app)? Did Dave finally tire of all the ramdom dudes pitching him?

I (site author) kinda thinks so - that's why we decided to make fun of it from afar

Hilarious. It's pretty good for short, witty puns.

I like your edit, well put. What we found in opening up Tiny Review to other login options was actually pretty civil. We haven't seen much offensive content at all, nor spam. It might be that we're still small yet, but I think I agree with

Any company offering a free service has to make money somehow, and since they know 5% of internet browsing is on the Fb newsfeed, it's actually not surprising. I wonder, would you pay a $5 subscription so that Facebook doesn't show you ads

Thanks, point more than proven.

True. The flip side is the ability to craft and re-craft your identity everywhere you go, which lets people misbehave because no one can figure out who they are. Abuse, profanity, hate are all easier if you wear a mask.

Thanks for the links. Seeing 1 from '07, one from '08, and one from last year, seems that it's been building up for 5 years. Yeah, I see your point.

Smarty pants. This is a good way to think ahead.

Open ID tried and failed. What I see now is more developers creating their own registration auth. Even if they lose on signup conversions vs. 1-click Fb or Twitter, they avoid duplicate account mixups.

Ok, that makes 2 of you who have fake Facebook login accounts to login. Anyone else?

by melissamiranda 15y ago
Interesting. Anyone else out there have a second Fb account just to login?

by melissamiranda 15y ago
Super interesting. I wonder what would happen if Facebook would implement a subscription service that shows no ads and lets you own and control your data. It's not a bad idea- I'll see if a friend at Fb will ask Zuckerberg if they've ever c

Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea people felt this strongly about their data. In user testing, I picked up that people are afraid of apps publishing to their walls, or worse, friends' walls behind their back. I got that people don't tr

Just curious, why don't you trust Facebook? Did you trust them at one point in time? What made you lose your trust? I'm a designer so it's interesting to me what's behind all the Facebook hate.

Spotify and Facebook partnership pre-dated the ticker and timeline. I don't think that at the time they decided to work together, they knew how or if Timeline/Ticker posting would be perceived as spam (Facebook didn't even know that). Proba

Off base. Facebook login was implement to prevent a Chatroulette problem (nudity and profanity). The Internet Fuckwad theory: normal person + anonymity + audience = total fuckwad ( http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-Greater-Internet-Fuckwad-T

We had to start with Facebook because getting people to use their real identity deters bad behavior. We'll add Twitter login in a few weeks. We're setting up community management and moderation now. It's fundamentally different than Instagr
