How about selective door opening? That's used widely in the UK and Europe.

I shouldn't think we'll see changes in the next couple of years really other than in the the manner of PR/presentation (as we already have with Tim Cooks frankly lackluster performance) - Steve will have had oversight of everything coming o

I think the problem, as you've demonstrated with your flippant comment lies with this new 'internet culture' (tied in with anonymity on the internet) which has led to the development of certain attitudes and changes in social norms and 'val

Is upvoting generally a good idea in a community? What kind of commenting behaviour does it lead to?

Twitter appears to be the problem - further fragmenting discussion across the internet, not bringing it together.
10.
by samengland 15y ago
Exactly. There is no point whatsoever in commenting on a multitude of blogs and website across the internet - then your opinions, views and contributions are fragmented in different places across the internet too; with no way to keep track

I think heavy, but not overly up-front moderation is the key to building a good discussion - this simply means clearing out comments which are superfluous - thereby creating richer, more readable content.

This is very true, most people fail to notice this.

For an event appealing to those "fresh out of uni" it's very badly timed. Most of us are still in exams, but only until the end of May. It should have been scheduled at least a couple of weeks later.

You said it - you are indeed being an arsehole in your comments. Firstly: "...this could be a story about when _not_ to self-finance your startup" That's easier said than done. There is absolutely no point in over analysing the situation an

Surprisingly - it wasn't, and we're still not sure how William was in fact discouraging their entire team...

by samengland 16y ago
The fact that William knows the owner of PostDesk makes no difference to the speculations made in the article about the future of Tumblr under Karp's leadership. Disclosure isn't really needed when the only difference is that he came to us

MySpace didn't have these issues though - nor did Twitter (to this extent). It's also a relatively straight forward blogging platform though - it's not particularly hard to figure out how to allocate resources despite exponential growth. Th

We're not in the same space. PostDesk, as you should be able to see is a site where editorial/opinion pieces such as the one you've just read are posted. Unfortunately you're trying to uncover a conspiracy which isn't there - though I'll gl

I'm the author of the article and I can honestly say that "SEO for keywords related to the founder, his company's name, and related variables" is not what we're trying to do. The article is simply speculation about what having a founder wit

Just got in touch with William to ask if I could post up the original e-mail in its entirety - and he said that was fine. I've added the original email to the bottom of the article. http://postdesk.com/debates/should-tumblr-care/
