Alex Hillman is one lucky guy: I’ve been to Australia twice in the last 12 months. Three different cities. All for coworking related activities. Sounds like great fun but he also has brought back what he’s learned from his experiences down under for all of our benefit. Which goes along great with my How to tear…

I just spent a few minutes playing around with Medium, a new "system for reading and writing", created by the makers behind great services like Blogger and Twitter. It was extremely validating to see that some of the decisions that were made by the amazingly smart and talented Medium team ended up being some of the…

Me, in December of last year: Now they need to take a queue from Instagram (and many other modern mobile apps) and start uploading the photo immediately, rather than waiting for the user to click “done”, so that it seemingly uploads instantly. Flickr blog, yesterday: Uploads from the Flickr app are much faster. We did…

Chad Dickerson, like many of us that run companies, gets a lot of solicitation via email. Some good. Most bad. He decided to do something useful with his response to one: I decided to write him back with some advice. I’m publishing my response on the hope that it will help salespeople produce better pitches…

As you may have guessed from the lack of posts, I’m busy. After leaving Viddler and taking some time to get things in order; I’m busy building Plain, Plain Space, and our first product Barley. Barley has been a smash hit and it isn’t even publicly available yet. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response. We’ve…

There is no shortage of opinions on this topic but Wayne Barz takes a pretty good approach to answering, or not answering, the question How much should I raise? I certainly can’t answer your specific “how much” question in a single 1,000 word blog post.  But I will suggest there are only three main buckets…

Nick Bilton of The New York Times: In its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Apple is experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved glass, according to people familiar with the company’s explorations, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they are not allowed to publicly discuss unreleased products. Such a watch would…

In a world where hitting 10, 50, and 100 million users seems to be the goal it is nice to see that a service can be a massive success at a fraction of that scale. GitHub just hit 3,000,000 users and their growth rate is still on the incline: This latest batch of one million…

Aaron Swartz, who tragically committed suicide yesterday, in an interview from 2007 when he was just 20 years old: If you talk to any woman in the tech community, it won’t be long before they start telling you stories about disgusting, sexist things guys have said to them. It freaks them out; and rightly so.…

Great list of tips and features for Flickr’s new iOS application. Iparticularlylike number 3: 3. Apply a single filter to multiple photos at once. Did you fall in love with a particular filter? We’ve made it easy for you to apply it to multiple photos at once. You simply select the photos from your camera…

If you’re a member of a fairly popular web service you’re probably becoming more and more familiar with feature roll outs. A feature roll out is when a new feature is added to a service for a certain number of users at a time and, after some duration of time, every user on that service…

Fantastically written piece from my teenaged friend Abby Wagner: People want to secure material in something more reliable than a single website. I think she has a future in writing.

In short; Instagram is now going to share your information with its parent-company Facebook in order to serve more relevant ads. Instagram will share things like the places you visit, your interests (remember all those photos you’ve liked?), and even your photos in order to tailor advertising to you. You can look at this any…

The web has been ablaze yesterday and today about the new Instagram policies. Instagram has written a blog post to ensure everyone that there has been some confusion and they are going to do whatever they can to make everything more clear. Good. I hope everyone didn’t go and delete their Instagram accounts without waiting…

Swizec explains why founders shouldn’t be the developers: There’s no getting around that, no matter how good a programmer you are, no matter how experienced, it’s just hard. Programming doesn’t require a lot of attention, it requires _all_of attention. I agreed. As much as the founder wants to be the developer they shouldn’t be. I don’t think…

Anil Dash waxes poetic about the web of turn of the century before Facebook and Twitter. But then talks about what is happening now: But we’re going to face a big challenge with re-educating a billion people about what the webmeans, akin to the years we spent as everyone moved off ofAOLa decade ago, teaching…

The Viddler Blog: Decide who can access your dashboard, setup their own Viddler username and password, and choose what they will have access to in your account. Select who can view and/or manage certain videos or playlists, who can edit account or billing settings, and for those customers with sub-accounts, you can set permissions for…

Foursquare: Break out of your weekly routine, try a new place, and don’t forget to leave a tip for your friends! The new feature is a bit buried. But when you find it, it can be pretty useful.

Cap Watkins from Etsy says it isn’t all about look-and-feel: Being design-driven means treating design as a partner (and a leader) in the product creation process. Look at your feature roadmap right now. Are there major initiatives and ideas that were generated directly from your designer or design team? If yes, was design in the…

App.net has a new API feature called Stream Marker.Dalton Caldwell: Multiple times a day, I switch between my laptop and my phone. It’s frustrating that I have to ask myself “have I seen this post?” as I scroll through My Stream. Today we’re adding support for Stream Markers to the API. This will allows clients…

Instagram recently released web profiles for all users. Of course, your Twitter stream has probably been full of people linking to theirs recently*. Oh, here is mine. You may have seen so many people mention their Instagram web profile that you’re sick of it. But don’t underestimate the importance of this feature to Instagram’s growth.…

Instagram: "It can be cumbersome sharing a photo to Twitter and @mentioning someone whose Twitter username is different from their Instagram username. Today, we’ve rolled out a change that will make sharing to Twitter more seamless." Good feature, I suppose. It is an odd problem.

Mig Reyes writes about the redesign of the 37signal’s blog: More often than not, company blogs are littered with pitches for their product. I don’t want to throw new job opportunities at you right away. I don’t want to ask you to subscribe to our RSS feed when you haven’t even read anything yet. These rules informed…

Bruno Grande at App Storm: "In essence, instead of one entity having control over a medium like Twitter, a standard is made, allowing any person or company to implement the medium, which remains interoperable." Today at Viddler HQ, around the new handmade, reclaimed pine Viddler table, the lot of us were discussing App.net, Tent.io, Twitter…
