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. Most of the sites I work with have editorial column widths of about 500 to 530 pixels. That means the main column at those sites is that wide. Any [...]

Below, some thoughts about mayorships, badges, checking in as a search action and about the service in general. I Was The Mayor [...]

Today, I logged into Facebook and got a huge, honking message saying they needed my birthday as a “security measure.” Then I got a second overlay message popping up right on top of that to make clear I really needed to enter it. Color me confused. I thought Facebook already had my birthday. In fact, I [...]

I’m always surprised at the stupidity of people who link spam on my blog. Let’s see. I write about search. I’m somewhat savvy to what link spam is.

I came close to killing my Facebook account this week. As I delved even deeper to the supposed privacy I have or don’t have on the service, I wondered why on earth I even have an account at all. And I kept thinking of Anil Dash’s post earlier this year, Google’s Microsoft Moment. Was this [...]
