Facebook uses another one of my ideas
I also had this idea back on Apr 26th, 2011
Today, January 21st, 2012, almost nine months later I find this

Am I the only one that find it’s a little bit sneaky when there’s a thumbnail in your news feed that looks like a video, but when you click it, it opens a new tab to the guardian app or something. Great user experience right there.

Back in 2009, when I was a student living in The Netherlands, I was taking a train from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. I started working on my website but I was so tired that I kept falling in and out of sleep; at one point my finger pushed down on the z key as I nodded off.
Just one of those awesome cosmic accidents.

This is an amazing documentary. It’s about the American open road and the wanderlust of it’s travelers. It reminds me a lot of when a couple of friends and I went traveling across the united states; and at 1h 30mins, its slow pace allows you to appreciate the American expanse. A must watch!

I resent the Facebook ‘Like’ paradigm
Back in April 2010, following the spawn of the Embeddable Like button Zuckerberg announced they expected 1 billion likes across the web in any given 24 hour period. At the time, Facebook had just 400 million users.
Today Facebook enjoys 800 Million users; I’d guess, very conservatively, that Facebook processes about 2 billion likes a day now.
This is where it gets depressing..
Let’s say it takes just 1 second to click a like button.
2 billion likes per day * 1 second = 2 billion seconds per day.
2 billion seconds equates to… wait for it… 63 years.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for 63 years. 1 Like, 2 Likes, 3 Likes, 4… and so on for 63 years.
In most cases it takes much longer than a second; never mind the notifications you’ll continue to receive if there is the slightest degree of activity on the liked content.
Yet here we are celebrating it’s creation.
What were we thinking?

1979, Jimmy Carter addresses the people. I resent that thanks to political correctness our politicians lack this degree of practicality. -
Beautifully done.
