Ambulance chasing lawyers seem to have focused their efforts on large tech. Reminds of that joke "Why do robbers go after banks?". "That's where the money is". Wonder what the lawyer vs individual split is in these cases....most of them land up settling any way.

A tad "holier than thou" attitude pointing a finger at your competitor and to a large extent the entire internet economy. It would be nice to dial down the spin/FUD machine esp when you're the CEO. Ad targeting will and has evolved. Good things happen when you understand the user and their needs - I for one am willing to trade my privacy for USEFUL features and products (to paint this as only ads is injustice). Just like I'm willing to trade my $s for good devices.

Awesome news and thanks for standing up to a dual-standards company and CEO. You can't be for NN in the US and against it elsewhere. Internet.org is purely a vehicle to get more users on to FB....not the internet.

DDG is a little ways from being a full Google replacement. Apple can ill afford the backlash they saw with maps happen again. Remember your simply shifting the notion of anonymity and data from one large company (Google) to another large one (Apple). All device makers gather your data and will use it (if they aren't already) hopefully for the benefit of the users. Instilling fear isn't the solution, clarifying the use and usefulness of data is.

if it's any help, would love to host the site on hpcloud.com (hp's public cloud). drop me a line if you're interested pratik.jhaveri(at)hp.com. Not saying this is an issue with your hosting provider - but perhaps it could help.

* I work in the hpcloud team. this post does not reflect HP's needs/opinions.

Awesome! I'm sure there can be a whole series of "typical response emails"....from Management, from large Co to Tiny Co, from girlfriend to ex-bf :)

In fact someone should create a Yahoo like auto-memo creator from a few years back for this precise reason.

Just donated. What an awesome cause and an amazing effort by the team. I'm asking other organizations that I donate to, to follow Watsi's example in transparency.

Stop trolling! I'm not even an ex-Googler and know about your constant complaints. Move on! Life's too short buddy.

Who's the paid blogger?

The tool isn't so much for the individual user but for the marketers and content creators that are on the platform and will join in the future.

Hopefully people start to realize that Google+ isn't about Facebook....it continues to be a great social layer over everything Google does.

If the "point" of social networks was simply viewed in the narrow sense of Facebook, then Twitter wouldn't be around either.

Why? Last I heard Twitter and Facebook weren't banned on the campus. Each network has it's audience and undoubtedly Twitter is huge.

Great perspective on Netflix' decisions last few months....change is painful

http://memolane.com/site/ seems to have done a great job and will possibly only get better.

brilliant idea that should help a lot of small companies and individuals out there. I know my wife subscribes to a makeup service along the lines of what Member.ly customers seem to be doing.

Good idea and could be really useful to the folks that Amazon is trying to recruit to write their new "Kindle Singles" product. Perhaps you should approach them and offer the tool to folks that sign up with them.
