For the record: I still love Twitter, but in 2012 I’m giving G+ more of my time. Follow me @rosiesherry or add me to your Circle on Google+. 1. The search baby! The search on Twitter winds me up to the moon and back. It’s so frustratingly hard to find previous tweets. This is not [...]

Is blogging dead…?
A great post (Robert Scoble would call it a blog post) about whether blogging is dead or not. Both Facebook and Google+, this year, added the ability to do long-form writing inside a social network. I’d argue that’s causing a new age of blogging: one that is free of commercial concerns. How many of you [...]
Instagram didn’t anticipate so many followers?
I’ve taken up using Instagram alot. Jamie Oliver kept cropping up as a recommended user. I like what he does, so I followed him. Then I noticed that each of his photos gets a stupid amount of ‘likes’ each time. I wondered how many followers he had, but it appears Instagram is a bit confused. [...]

About the video Stanford Engineering lecturer and FLOODGATE partner Ann Miura-Ko offers insight into the democratization of innovation in the Internet age, and its affect on investment cycles. Additionally, Miura-Ko speaks candidly about the need to test business models, her firm’s [...]

And here I present the most popular things that organisations do to annoy me on the social internetz. Claiming Huge Popularity We are the best. We are the first. We are the [...]
The web is a transient place. Live with it.
Stuff comes and goes. And when it comes to the web, things can go quite quickly. The following is a picture of web startups. The ‘x’s are ones that didn’t make it. The green circles are ones that got acquired (doesn’t mean they have been successful). Note that the image is dated 2009, so current [...]
