Julie P.: My experiences in tech: Death by 1000... →
juliepagano: In Once Upon an Internship, I learned early that sometimes being a software engineer means death by 1000 cuts because you don’t have the power to make it stop. Even the tiniest little things add up to something big – sometimes it’s really death by 1000 paper cuts. The cuts started early. I’m… I hope - for the sake of my daughters - that my colleagues in tech industries read...

Here’s what I think…  what advertising needs is a Copernicus.  Someone to tell them that the universe that they’ve known has dramatically changed.  Someone to show them that brands and brand communications are not the center of the universe.  People are.  Brands orbit people.  And people choose what to pull into their orbit.  And they don’t bring brands into orbit based...

Not FTA but still, my quote about G+ Pages in a nutshell: “It’’s a baby step but a step in the right direction.  I think we’ll see quickly that the integration of Pages with Google Search can make for a powerful combination… one that will bring users into the network.  But the real question is, even if the users are there - what does G+ have that will make them stay?”

The meme-generation activity on Canvas revolves around the posting of image “remixes” and giving stickers to other remixes.  Stickers are a form of upvote and decide which posts make it to the front...

iOS5 split keyboard in use
iOS5 has a new keyboard that can be split for easier thumb-typing.  It’s a breeze to use, but presents some new app design considerations.  Take a look at this screencap from one of my new favorite apps, Business Model Toolbox: This is how the app works in standard mode - when the app requires keyboard input, the screen divides nicely allowing a full sized keyboard with the screen above...

Exposed: Facebook’s Secret iPhone Photo Sharing... →
I’ve been hearing lots of talk among friends and colleagues about Facebook fatigue - and a general uneasiness about their service.  Apps like this won’t help their PR concerns, but certainly have the potential to reinvigorate and redefine Facebook in the eyes of the public as less a site and more a service.
