Romdeau··on The Phablet Revolution
I have very large hands and I stopped using iPhones after I first used the original Galaxy Note. I simply couldn't go back to the tiny screen even though i did prefer iOS. I went through a couple of large phones after this and never had a complaint. I bought an iPhone 6+ day one simply because it's the phone i had been waiting for.

Phablets may not be for everyone, but neither are the small phones that are rapidly becoming an endangered species.

Romdeau··on Algorithm predicts Five Factor personality type better than Facebook friends
It's because you're looking at it from the wrong direction. The indicators are selected because people who are shy have a higher than average likelihood of liking "programmers". If you average out a bunch of likes and you know the general personality types of people who like those groups you end up with a pretty good general picture of someones personality.

I really want to see this run on one of those profiles that facebook marketing clickbots use.

Romdeau··on Brands Are Wasting Money on Facebook and Twitter, Forrester Says
This is more specifically talking about maintaining your facebook company page and trying to engage with your userbase/followers.

After Facebook introduced the promoted posts concept if you were a brand you saw your engagement rapidly die off unless you were spending the money on it.

Purchased adds still work well if not better when targeted properly.

Romdeau··on The laws of shitty dashboards
This year should only mean this calendar year, last 12 months is a full 12 month overview. Both are useful for various reasons.

That said i've seen "this year" used to mean last 12 months as well...
