MG Siegler on the Facebook Phone

post from Daring Fireball on 21 November 2011 09:02:56 PM. © Daring Fireball

To me the big question regarding Facebook is what they’re doing with all those A-team interface designers and developers they’ve been hiring/acquiring. Is it all about this phone, or something else?

Viewing the UC Davis Pepper Spraying From
Multiple Angles

post from Daring Fireball on 21 November 2011 06:02:43 PM. © Daring Fireball

Andy Baio:

I was stunned and appalled by the UC Davis Police sprayingprotestors, but struck by how many brave, curious people recordedthe events. I took the four clearest videos and synchronized them.Citizen journalism FTW.

Batons, pepper spray, guns, and body armor on one side. Peaceful protest and cameras on the other. Fascinating dynamic. Peaceful protest can be powerful. Check out this video of UC Davis chancellor Linda Katehi — under pressure to resign in the aftermath of the pepper-spraying — walking to her car, surrounded by utterly silent protestors. Profoundly effective.

What Is Sony Now

Interesting profile of Sony by Bryan Gruley and Cliff Edwards, for BusinessWeek:

Stringer drew up a plan to streamline Sony by creating marketing,software, and other platforms common to all the businesses.Progress was slow. He finally determined it was because hewasn?t really in charge of electronics; Chubachi, the president,was. ?President? can be a powerful title in Japan, connotingthe day-to-day authority typically commanded by a chief operatingofficer in the West. ?I didn?t know I wasn?t [incontrol],? Stringer says, a hint of sheepishness in his voice.?I just thought it was a natural part of Japanese companies tobe consensus-driven and I had to spend a lot of time trying toachieve consensus.? He lost a year.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that when it takes the new CEO a year to figure out he’s not in control of the entire company, that’s a problem.

Stamped

New social network/recommendation engine, which like Instagram, is debuting with but a single interface: a native iPhone app. The premise is simple and ambitious: you “stamp” things that you enjoy and recommend. There aren’t different types of stamps. There’s no rating from 0-5 or anything like that. Just stamped. What kind of things can you stamp? All sorts of things: restaurants, places, books, movies, music.

Stylish, distinctive, nice-branded UI, too.
