A VC

A VC: "What happened is I am using a product, hackpad, that I don't really know how to use correctly. I am learning how to use it in real-time. Which is how I learn to use everything. Screw the manual. Just turn it on and get going. That can work, but it results in fails like we had yesterday. The truth is I still don't know exactly what I am doing with this product, but I am figuring it out."

Google infringes old Lycos patents, must pay $30 million | Ars Technica

Google infringes old Lycos patents, must pay $30 million | Ars Technica: "That obviously isn't going to happen. In the middle of trial, US District Judge Raymond Jackson issued a ruling that foreclosed the most heated of those billion-dollar dreams, putting a strict cap on Vringo's ultimate payday. He limited the company to receiving damages only from the day it had filed the lawsuit in 2011. Originally, Vringo had wanted damages back to 2005. The stock price hit a nadir of $1.91 per share on the afternoon of October 31, shortly after Jackson's ruling. (It rebounded to around $4 per share after the jury deliberations dragged on to a third day.)"

INFOGRAPHIC: Facebook Psychology – Is Addiction Affecting Our Minds?

INFOGRAPHIC: Facebook Psychology – Is Addiction Affecting Our Minds?: "Uh oh. Have to admit I’m quite guilty for dopamine production everytime my phone rings. But it’s to email rather than FB. I think the keyword is ‘connect’. We’re excited to be connected, to be always engaged in some sort of ‘conversation’. There’s something on the back of our mind that will gnaw us slowly everytime we ‘fade’ back to reality (answer the email! join the discussion!)."

Free Meta Title & Meta Description Optimisation Tool

Free Meta Title & Meta Description Optimisation Tool: "After my last post & video on how to create perfect meta tags someone commented that Google had actually changed their rule of 70 characters for the title and instead used the title line width. Basically if the title width exceeds 512 pixels it will be truncated (have the end trimmed off – ouch!!). This means the 70 character limit is out of the window and can sometimes be longer or shorter depending on the characters used. So I decided to have a free tool built for you to use so you can make sure your meta titles and meta descriptions are as well optimised as possible."
