WRT your edit: This reminds me of a service idea I had a while back which I shelved for far too many reasons: A site/chatroom-esque thing where you can invite people to watch things with you over the net (inspired by my long-distance relationship at the time). I'd originally thought of Megavideo, but youtube movies was even better (read: more legal). Advertising would have been fairly well-targeted, judging by the video these people were watching. Free idea, anyone?

> Is something similar available on Google+?

Yes, you can add someone to your circles without them doing the same to you. There's even a default circle called "Following" for "People that you don't know but find their posts interesting" (i.e., basically the same thing as following famous people on Twitter).

> Are your posts required to be directed toward a specific circle?

Sort of. They can be directed at any combination of your circles, or all of them.

> I can't just add myself to someone I like's circle, right? They have to add me?

Right, you can add anyone you want to your circles, but you can't touch their circles at all. It's like Twitter in that respect.
Good question. Separate your Dev from QA, and make QA code the automated tests. That way, you still get the eventual safety of test coverage but developers are never slowed by the need to write or rewrite tests.

Yes, both redesigns appear to take massive steps backwards in terms of contrast and information density, and to add insult to injury, promote one random design element, Compose in the case of Gmail, to a giant non-standard ugly colored 'button'.
In Firefox 4, the default address bar search changed to a regular Google search, rather than the "browse by name" behavior used in Firefox 3.6 which would sometimes do a search and sometimes go straight to the top result [1]. It should be much more predictable now.

IIRC Android was in development at a company Google bought even before the iPhone launched. Early prototypes looked like a Blackberry, not like an Android: they adjusted dramatically.

I'd be curious to hear from anyone who thinks that this sort of parallel hashchange/pushState support is a bad idea. It should prove to be controversial at the least.

* http://www.documentcloud.org/public/#search/guantanamo

* http://www.documentcloud.org/public/search/guantanamo

People who don't care much about Internet Explorer support often say to just use pushState, and let IE users endure full page refreshes ... but that's not really an acceptable way to build a responsive web app.

Hopefully, having the same structure for pushState and hash-based URLs, with transparent upgrades in both directions, is a sane way to bridge these sort of applications to the future.
Interesting, thanks for the post.

1) I am surprised this is actually a problem that needs solved.

2) I see this more as a product that can be used for free by many and often, but it must promote your other products that you do sell. It could be a nice marketing tool maybe.

3) Couldn't you just roll this in with your other Twitter product that you charge for?
And what is the benefit of that separation? Seems like that sort of thing makes it easy to blame the other guy "I didn't know to test that / I'm not the tester, not my job".

The "cost" of high-coverage automated tests is overblown, IMO. The few extra minutes spent writing test code is worth the extra safety and confidence. However I believe striving for 100% coverage on every method/branch is overkill.

It doesn't have to be either you do TDD religiously or you have no tests.
Tried with this workaround: Create a circle, add a person to it, then share some content in the circle. Everyone who isn't yet member of Google+ gets an invite. Let us know if it's still working.
Right now I'm doing pushState manually and I have a bug that I can't figure out. popstate happens whenever history changes, including when the user types my URL in and hits enter. There doesn't appear to be a way to differentiate between hitting the back button and going to my URL directly. Which is a problem because if they type it in directly I want to render on the server, if they hit the back button I want to do xhr. What am I doing wrong?

As for Backbone, I really need to switch to this rather than manually handling click events and feeding jquery tmpl. Backbone seems to be a much better way to do it but there also appears to be a learning curve that I'm fighting against going through.
Translation: I have a lot of friends who run startups in Silicon Valley and am very important because of that.
This is the most braindead review of the service that I have read. Any social network goes through the ghost town - early adopters - your mom stage, When your mom arrives, you can't say "fuck" anymore, and so you feel the need to move to another service. Add to this the copious amounts of wall-spam generated in Facebook and a lot of people are excited about Plus. Particularly because Circles is central to the service, even when your mom finally arrives, you'll still theoretically be able to let your mouth off. That's why this thing might have legs. Not because some nebulous and self-congratulatory definition of "geek" would theoretically like it.
One should note that Apple sometimes has multiple "Gold Master" seeds, so this does not necessarily mean release is imminent. (Though I think chances are pretty good, since Lion's been rumored to be released sometime in the next two weeks.)
Sorry yeah it looks like my test was disk IO bound rather than network bound.
Oh. Right, because of the new scope that the anonymous block creates. My mistake.

As I suggest in the comments: http://tbbuck.com/building-a-50-dollar-a-month-web-app/#comm...

------

Try presenting your users with a paid and viral choice. First oauth them with the promise of the service you are offering. Then present them with the value proposition: "You are about to save X minutes by automatically deleting Y DM's". Then offer them two choices to compensate you for that value: 1) Follow your twitter account & tweet an endorsement (which could be as simple as a variation on the value prop ) or 2) pay you $0.99 for a one time service.

This will allow you to a) measure your funnel, b) advertise without spending any money, c) build an audience, d) use that audience to build a feedback loop and test other ideas, e) make money in a way that seems to align with your users usage habits.

Thoughts?

> People who don't care much about Internet Explorer support often say to just use pushState, and let IE users endure full page refreshes ... but that's not really an acceptable way to build a responsive web app.

Why not? It's responsive for those with a modern browser (and may get the IE team to integrate the history API in IE10), and is less responsive for those with an older browser. That can be an acceptable tradeoff.
Mm I think you misunderstood my comment. I said Facebook is just a client, to which you say they're not, to which you contradicted yourself by saying that they launched farmville.com for farmville. Let me clarify. By client, I mean the technical term for client, as in the Facebook canvas is just a play client for the Farmville game. They built another play client on their home portal to support Farmville. They built yet another play client app on iOS that supports Farmville. Users/content/data are all portable between each client. If Facebook is gone, Zynga has other places to go. Yes, they may lose virality, marketing, user base, and all that, but their accounts/content/data are not gone, and users have many places to still play Zynga games should Facebook go away. Your article just tells me Zynga won't leave Facebook. I know that. I'm just saying they're not necessarily dead if Facebook is dead and touching their stock isn't such a silly thing to do.

First we all know that Facebook is very image heavy. It is a great place to share and view pictures. Whereas Twitter can be a great place to share links, new info etc.

This is great. I've migrated off of Flickr for everything but my artsy photography stuff and a few special interests. All the family snapshots, kid activities, etc. have been going on Picasa at the free 800px resolution. Seems like my less computer-savvy friends and family can navigate it easier. 800px just isn't enough for a lot of uses though, so more than doubling it is great.

I definitely miss some of Flickr's organizational tools like having one photo in multiple sets but at least Picasa has tags.

I've also been using Picasa's face recognition, but only offline on the desktop app so far. Some cool technology, but I can't help feeling like I'm feeding intel to Skynet or Big Brother when I match faces with names.
Portland, OR - PHP Fog

PHP Fog is the leading platform-as-a-service built specifically for PHP. We have spent a lot of energy iterating on feedback from our users (over 2000 detailed surveys) to build a really great product that appeals to a large and growing user-base (over 14,000 people have signed up and growing). On top of that, we have put together a team of exceptionally talented developers. We are O’Reilly authors, open-source contributors and we enthusiastically ship code.

But we are growing fast, and we need your help. Want to join a winning team and have influence on the direction of an up-and-coming internet super-startup? Here are some of the benefits we provide:

We offer competitive compensation, and meaningful equity stake is a given.

We are comfortable with remote work – we are based in Portland, OR which has an awesome open-source community, but if you don’t live here already, that is ok.

Plenty of good developers didn’t go to college, didn’t finish college, or went to a community college – we don’t care as long as you are smart and especially if you are pragmatic.

We are not technology bigots: we use Ruby, PHP, Python, Bash and many other technologies internally at PHP Fog, as such we don’t care what language you are good at, we will train you in a new language if necessary to bring you up to speed with our tech stack.

Instead of listing job requirements, we will instead list some of some of the technologies we use internally to get things done:

* AWS, Linux, Systems automation
* PHP, Ruby, Python, Erlang, Bash
* Mysql, Redis, Mongodb
* Apache, Varnish, Nginx, HAproxy
* Git
* HTML5, beautiful markup, sustainable CSS

Here are some of the roles we are looking to fill:

* Web developer – send your resume to dev-jobs@phpfog.com
* Systems engineer - send your resume to systems-jobs@phpfog.com
* Designer – send your resume to designer-jobs@phpfog.com
* Support – send your resume to support-jobs@phpfog.com
* VP of Marketing and Sales – send your resume to marketing-jobs@phpfog.com
* VP of Business Development – send your resume to bizdev-jobs@phpfog.com

If you don’t fit one of these roles but still want to join our team, send your resume to jobs@phpfog.com and tell us why you think you are a good fit.

> Which is a problem because if they type it in directly I want to render on the server

Why? What difference does the precise way they navigated to the URL make?

> if they hit the back button I want to do xhr.

Most back buttons have a popup menu which let users go to a completely arbitrary url they've already seen, they're not limited to the very last page. They can also hit the button several times to go back to the same page.

> What am I doing wrong?

You're adding arbitrary separations between two instances of the same event: your users going from your site to your site.
