Big Idea vs. Lean Idea
“Seems niche. How many people want to tell everyone randomly what they’re doing and how many really want to look at it?” - My entry for Twitter, as recorded in early 2007. This entry in my "deal flow" journal records my first, inauspicious impressions of Twitter when I initially heard about i...

Six Ticks till Midnight: One Plausible Journey from Here to a Total Surveillance Society
The ACLU has recently announced a Surveillance Society Clock which depicts, in their view, how close we are to a total surveillance society. At the time of this writing the clock sits at 11:54pm – just six minutes from midnight! This clock got me thinking about what series of plausible events m...

iTV MOMENTUM: Anticipating the Future
Over the past couple of years, my design team and I have been working on a very cool new software product called iTV Momentum. Fortunately, after quite a bit of hard work, it's just about done (early September for customers). Hopefully, it will be successful enough to allow my team to produc...

Checkins: Not Just for Places Anymore
Conventional wisdom tells us that the easier an action is, the more people will do it. It's easier to write a blog than to publish a book, so there are more bloggers than published authors. It's easier to tweet than to write a blog post, so there are now more tweets than blog posts per day. A...

Seth Godin Misunderstands Dunbar's Number, And Stubs His Toe
Seth Godin recently wrote a post which hinges on Dunbar's Number. Seth started out by misstating what Dunbar's Number is, and then goes off the rails, predictably: [via Dunbar's Number isn't just a number, it's the law] Dunbar's number is 150. And he's not compromising, no matter how much you wh...
