I’m not on Hacker News a lot, but occasionally I do comment. When I do, you’ll see me there as sullivandanny. I’m also dannysullivan, but I can’t have that account. Forgot my password, and that’s that, apparently. When you create a Hacker News account, unlike most places I register with, you’re not required to provide [...]

Right now, Wikipedia is busy asking for donations to stay afloat. Here’s a thought. If it wants donations, maybe open things up so that outsiders feel like they can contribute expert knowledge without wasting their time. A Debate Over Notability Here’s a case in point.

Oh, so now you love me, Amazon? After dropping its affiliates as sacrificial pawns in its game with California over paying sales tax, Amazon won a one-year reprieve — and now it wants its pawns like me back.

Cast your mind back to July. Fast Company launched its “Influence Project,” a scheme supposedly designed to see who has the most influence online. The results are in!

Life as a LinkedIn group manager isn’t much fun, given the limited control you have over your group. Now LinkedIn’s rolled out a new discussion format that makes things even worse, not to mention confuses the difference between “discussions” and “news” items.

Sometime earlier this year, YouTube seems to have dropped support for the 480 horizontal width embed size. I’m hoping they’ll bring it back. Bigger isn’t always better.

When the iPad came out, I pondered going with the 3G option. However, buying a third data plan in addition to the one for my phone and computer was too much. Fortunately, Verizon’s MiFi mobile hotspot option made it easy to have one plan shared by my iPad, my computer and even my kids using [...]
