Monkey Mace: All you need is e-mail, e-mail. E-mail is all you need. :

Why build a new messaging product when the basic functionality of email combined with a little effort from the user can achieve the same result?

Everyone is trying to tackle the problem of private group communication. Like, Google, Glassboard, Groupme, Life360, and I’ll even add Path to this…

I think email is still a good way to communicate.

Clayton Braasch: Why Phil Schiller Actually Quit Instagram

Clayton Braasch: Why Phil Schiller Actually Quit Instagram:

braasch:

Earlier today, I read 9to5Mac’s article about Phil Schiller dumping Instagram due to the company’s decision to expand its app to Android. The article rubbed me the wrong way; I felt Phil’s answer wasn’t complete and as a result, the headline was completely incorrect. So, what did I do to find an…

So that’s why Schiller stopped using Instagram. Interesting.

"Apple iPhone Will Fail"

"Apple iPhone Will Fail":

parislemon:

Matthew Lynn, January 14, 2007:

To its many fans, Apple is more of a religious cult than a company. An iToaster that downloads music while toasting bread would probably get the same kind of worldwide attention.

And:

Don’t let that fool you into thinking that it matters. The big competitors in the mobile-phone industry such as Nokia Oyj and Motorola Inc. won’t be whispering nervously into their clamshells over a new threat to their business.

And:

First, Apple is late to this party. The company didn’t invent the personal computer or MP3 player, but it was among the pioneers of both products. Yet there is no shortage of phones out there. There are already big companies that dominate the space, all of whom will defend their turf. That means Apple will have to fight hard for every sale.

And:

Yet Apple has never been good at working with other companies. If it knew how to do that, it would be Microsoft Corp.

And:

Lastly, the iPhone is a defensive product. It is mainly designed to protect the iPod, which is coming under attack from mobile manufacturers adding music players to their handsets.

And:

It won’t come from the iPhone. Apple will sell a few to its fans, but the iPhone won’t make a long-term mark on the industry.

Nailed it.

I mean…

I’m absolutely flabbergasted. Where to begin? Nokia Oyj?!

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that. But come on. What a huge jackass. If he had said the exact opposite of everything he said, he would have been much closer to the truth than he was.

[thanks Tobin]

I actually feel bad for the dude.

Stop. Crying. About. Free. Services.

Stop. Crying. About. Free. Services.:

People like Zuckerberg and Page aren’t (that) evil. They run companies, big ones. And big companies exist for one reason: profitability. Sure they could have charged us upfront, but let’s be honest, had Facebook charged every user $5, social networks wouldn’t be where they are today. Had Google chosen to charge an annual subscription rate, search would not be as prevalent in all of our lives. We adopted these technologies because they were free; we embraced them because they were free. And free will always come at a cost. So please stop feigning outrage every time one of these useful services finds a way to continue to exist.

Although I really love the new update of Tweetbot that was pushed out yesterday, I still feel there is something missing that the developers should have added into the iCloud syncing goodness. And I finally realized that they have missed out “Drafts Syncing” - the feature that I have always wanted Tweetbot to have.
