Sober, thoughtful analysis doesn't get as many pageviews though.

>He totally dismisses Groupon's rejection of Google's offer

He doesn't totally dismiss it - his reaction was provocative but much more measured than "totally dismissed". For reference:

"Will the public market tip the deal in Groupon's favor, or will Mason--like many of his would-be customers--wish he had bitten on that offer?"

Because geniuses tend to be particularly averse to labelling themselves as something that has connotations of extreme superiority.

It's the reverse Dunning-Kruger effect - idiots are less aware of their limitations and thus are more likely to be baselessly confident. Legitimate geniuses are the most aware of their limitations of anyone, and thus are less likely to trumpet the 'genius' title.

I've posted a couple of decent quality reviews and most have been accepted with 5 star ratings. However, very few reviews are coming back the other way, leaving me feeling like I've somewhat wasted my time.

Perhaps this will change later, but in the meantime, perhaps sites could be circulated around instead of just being assigned to one person (which is what I presume is happening.)

Agree with this. I cancelled a review because I simply can't give very good feedback on the type of site I was given. I waited a while, clicked 'Review Next' again and got the same site.

If the creator of FeedbackRoulette is reading, skip button pronto!

More like how many legitimate geniuses would actually describe themselves as a "genius"? I would say close to none.

http://safariextendr.com Working on polishing a safari extension community site and attempting to draw traffic in between studying for my software engineering uni exams. It's tough (on both fronts!) but I'm getting there.

Hey, I looked at http://verbapp.com and couldn't help but notice the text is generally a little small. I initially was struggling to read it. I opened up inspector and started fiddling. Would you ever consider doing it a bit more like this - http://i.imgur.com/ic5F8.png - or is it intentionally neat?

>The ideal configuration for a problem set is a single partner who is at roughly your ability and is willing to meet earlier in the week.

There's really a lot of substance to this remark. I work with another guy in my class frequently and often come away feeling as though I've free-ridden somewhat.

But after looking more closely the results we get, it becomes apparent they are the product of our combined efforts and wouldn't have been achievable alone. The verbalisation is also highly conducive to understanding intuitively - a principle Salman Khan talks about and I can't agree with enough.

Is there seriously any place we can find this information or does the onus rest with bloggers/other external parties to compile a change list?

Sounds rather like Delicious, just with privacy restrictions. Although, I can see myself using something like this.

Here's what Delicious's FAQ (http://www.delicious.com/help/faq#network) has to say about it:

Can I share a bookmark with just the people in my Network?

No, bookmarks can only be public or private right now. We may add something like that in the future, though.

If it were that cut and dry, Wii shovelware-type games wouldn't be made. Clearly there's money to be made, just perhaps not AAA level returns to be had.

It's the same as the political party noise machines (primarily Republican) - keep repeating a falsehood and enough people might believe it to be true to serve your ends.

This is mainly why Adobe's marketing tactics are pushing me away from the platform - instead of making a legitimately good product, they're more interested in telling us how good it is.
