It’s The Little Things, Twitter
Just noticed this tonight.
Previously, from the discovery tab in the iOS app, when you would go to the trends page
and click a trend
And then click compose to create your own hashtaggery tweet
It would start your text behind the tweet, which looks pretty ugly. However I noticed tonight that they at sometime in the past few days they moved the default spot to type in front of the hashtag.
Good job twitter.
Is Lisa Loeb The All Knowing Supernatural Of The Internet?
So I tweeted this earlier today — mind you, without mention
And then this happened seven hours later
I think the answer is yes.
This actually happened late last night
Yahoo Might Buy Tumblr, New York's Cutest Startup
Looking forward to Monday when no one can call us a “revenue-free startup” anymore.
Karp Tumbld this back in 2009
These two tweets about the same post, a list of books you must read in your 20s got a surprisingly disproportionate amount of favs over retweets, which lead me to wonder - why?
Initially I was thinking that book readers are just afraid to retweet (I noticed this same phenomenon once in regards to a tweet about tattoos), then it occurred to me that they are probably just bookmarking this via the fav button to read later. I believe the average twitter user actually uses the fav this way, not like a so-called power user does which can have multiple meanings.
That is it for this post.
And so it was,
On the 9th day, of the 5th month, of the 2,013th year of our lord,
The beautiful garbage can tulips bloomed once again,
Not to resurface again for another 3700 years
Perfect.
Help us, Millennials. You’re our only hope.

The most interesting thing about Paul Miller’s return to the internet
The Verge’s Paul Miller, who had left the internet on May 1st, 2012 to do some soul searching, returned to the internet last night after taking 365 days off.
The Verge broadcasted his first moments back and suggested some links for him to see, and while his reactions to the new Psy video and vacuum cat (which I had somehow never heard of before) where fun, I thought it was funny that one of the first things he wanted to do was Google the lyrics to Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie” to find out what a particular part was actually saying.
Lines
Typically, there are two types of checkout situations you will encounter in a marketplace. The first consists of a single line, where you file in and go to an open register in order of arrival, rewarding whoever arrived there first. The second type is where there are multiple registers open and you have to pick your line, leaving it up to years of line picking experience to determine if you will check out faster than someone else who may have even arrived there before you.
Which system is better? Do we reward time or do we reward skill?
While most people will argue that time basis is better (mostly because of the “respect your elders” principle in that if you arrived to checkout first you get rewarded), I tend to lean towards the second scenario, where having more skill than another person brings you the spoils of exiting a store faster.
With years of experience in judging cashiers and the people waiting in each line, I can safely say I am in the top 3% of checkouters in the world in terms of STAR (Speed To Actual Register).
Would 2Pac have been as famous if the song was called “Cauliflower Love”?
Digg
It makes sense that Digg is building a Reader and that they just bought Instapaper.
For a site that thrives on the best news stories around the web - running the backbone of a service that knows what people are reading (and sharing) makes perfect sense. Instapaper’s large presence in that market will just add to that knowledge
