The Best • Dustin Curtis
November 7, 2012 The Best When I got back to San Francisco after a three month trip to Southeast Asia last year, I had no possessions. I was living out of hotels. Everything I carried had to fit into a backpack, so I spent the time to carefully research and buy only the very best of each individual item I was carrying. The best towel. The best pen and notebook. The best headlamp. The best headphon
The Fight • Dustin Curtis
November 4, 2012 The Fight A couple of months ago, I received a text message that hit me like a brick. It said that one of my closest friends, who is in his early twenties and in perfect health, suddenly went into cardiac arrest while running at the gym. I knew what that meant; outside of the hospital, cardiac arrest is almost universally fatal; only about 5% of people even make it to the hospital
Black Widow • Dustin Curtis
August 22, 2012 Black Widow Twitter has an enormous advantage over Facebook in one key area: while people on Facebook tend to friend their friends, people on Twitter tend to follow their interests. The social graph that makes up Twitter is worth far more on a per-account basis because it is directly monetizable in a way that Facebook’s generally isn’t – you can show prophylactic advertisements to
Just say "No." • Dustin Curtis
May 23, 2012 Just say “No.” Yahoo has just announced Axis, a browser extension thing and mobile app that “redefines what it means to search and browse the Web [sic].” • A group of people at Yahoo, including engineers, designers, and product managers had to conceive of, design, and build this product, which works basically identically to browser toolbars from the early 2000’s. It does have a sync f
Twitter is tracking you on the web • Dustin Curtis
May 17, 2012 Twitter is tracking you on the web In a blog post today announcing Twitter’s new tailored suggestions system is something that has left me shocked: an overt admission by Twitter that it is transparently tracking your movements around the web. Othman Laraki, on the Twitter blog: These tailored suggestions are based on accounts followed by other Twitter users and visits to websites in t
Steve Ballmer's Microsoft • Dustin Curtis
May 15, 2012 Steve Ballmer’s Microsoft May 15, 2012. You can call Steve Ballmer many things, but you cannot call him the “the worst CEO of a large publicly traded American company today,” as Forbes’ Adam Hartung did in a recent article. It’s easy to see Microsoft as a bumbling fool of the tech world, but when you look closely at its business, the company’s core competencies, and Ballmer’s decision
Pixel-fitting - Dustin Curtis
May 9, 2012 Pixel-fitting Note: This article contains non-retina images, which are not pixel-fitted. The irony is not lost on me. In the Markdown Mark repository on Github, I had initially included only 12 static PNG images of the mark at different specific sizes. Several people asked me why I had done this instead of including a vector graphic, and the reason is actually quite important. This is
Facebook's numbers • Dustin Curtis
May 3, 2012 Facebook’s numbers I like to look at raw numbers every once in a while, without external influence, to recalibrate my ability to judge the magnitude of things. Here are some of the numbers from Facebook’s most recent S-1 filing (published on May 3rd) which I think are important as metrics to compare against when thinking about relative success and opportunity.
