This is great news! Congratulations on the move, I've seen some exciting stuff from Edelman and I can only imagine it will get better with both you and Bruce on the team! Congrats and good luck!

Re: Path of Flutter

acafourek — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:26:17 -0000

I have played around with flutter for nearly a year now, but for the past 3 months, Ive been using it almost daily while building http://MyAlumniBar.com and it makes me incredibly excited to see that you all are still making progress on it! I understand the lack of "johnny-on-the-spot" support; if anything I think it has given myself and a number of others a better understanding of the plugin from digging under the hood for ourselves.

Thanks for devoting time to release an update, it really is appreciated!

Re: How To Develop A Vision That Will Make You Millions

acafourek — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:12:36 -0000

Great post Nick... I'm in the process of two new projects as well and keeping vision is always one of the parts I have to work hardest on. I've got a great business partner to lean on and I think between the two of us we can focus each other, but its always good to be reminded of the dangers of drifting from your goals!

Good luck with the next venture!

Hooray, I will actually be in town for this! I would say the 10th or 11th...

Thanks for the update, sorry I didnt attribute it right off the bat!

I was just in this exact spot... like an hour ago. God Im so glad I live in New York now... its like having a new kind of connection with everyone else on Tumblr.

Re: Sarah Palin Scored 841 On Her SATs

acafourek — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:48:06 -0000

Yeah not so sure how I feel about people leaking stuff like this from high schools and colleges... but if its real, its already out. SO that means I can say this:

Holy fucking shit balls of inexperienced flaming fucktardedness. The first time I took the SAT, I fell asleep through an entire section and I still did better than that! (for the record: I later redeemed by score by not working the night before)

Re: Facebook: Let Me Export My Contacts!

acafourek — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:47:15 -0000

Okay, so when I left my comment, I for some reason didnt see the previous one mentioning Friend CSV...but here is the link if anyone is interested: http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.ph...

Re: Facebook: Let Me Export My Contacts!

acafourek — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:44:31 -0000

I believe I tested out an application once called Friend CSV or something like that which allowed me to export a csv file with a ton of friend info... I'll go dig around and see if I can find it. While it is not the best potential way to access your friends' info, it might be a start!

Re: Facebook Duplicates Microsoft Windows With New Design, Becomes the Web OS

acafourek — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:13:37 -0000

Well it does have squared corners so it is leaving the Web 2.0-It-Has-To-have-Rounded-Corners-And-Be-Super-Shiny mantra behind for a bit of Windows 98-esque design influence!

Re: OMG! Twitter Places Follower Restrictions!

acafourek — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:48:55 -0000

Pretty sure you meant "Twitter" in that first sentence...

Re: Users Fight Back Against the New Facebook

acafourek — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:18:05 -0000

I love the overall idea of the new design: so much cleaner and easier to digest. I just want more control over where my applications are displayed. I want to be able to decide which apps are shown on my main profile page... and custom tabs would be great: if I want to have a "Media" page and put all my videos and photos on, that would be great.

And the top nav bar could be a bit taller. But overall I love it.

Re: Damn, Andy Wishes He Thought of That!

Honestly I don't forsee any kind of overarching Supreme Council will ever be able to be effective in this pursuit for the same reason that a blogger union would never work. Decentralized self-regulation is the foundation of blogging...it's the reason bloggers can claim any kind of moral superiority to the mainstreem media. The only way something like this an work is by an open-source period of collaboration via an independent (and no cost) foundation to coordinate the various sects of the community. And I say kudos to anyone making efforts to that end. Only with a generally accepted set of guidelines can blogging really claim to be a valid and open soutse for news and analysis.

Oh my god this is one of the most amazing addons I've ever seen! thanks for posting!!

Re: Battle Over Mobile Web Heats Up

acafourek — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:45:55 -0000

Interesting that this post came up at this moment... I am sitting in the audience at the Personal Democracy Forum as Mark Pesce as he is talking about the explosion of mobile and how it has yet to even begin to sort itself out socially.

Interesting stat: 15 years ago, 50% of the world's population had never made a single phone call. Now, in only 15 years, 50% of the world population owns a cell phone. That is truly amazing and with half of the world on mobile phones, it is only a matter of time before they demand inter-connectivity. Whoever figures out the best way to do this will have a huge market to tap and it will be amazing to see who does it and how.

Re: OMMA Social in New York

With OMMA and the Personal Democracy Forum going on at the same time here in Manhattan, it is quite the 'social' day here in NY!

Re: Facebook Has Problems With Latest Release

acafourek — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:22:22 -0000

I havent had any rendering issues but this morning I could not login...then I saw an email from the facebook saying my password was no longer secure and I would need to create a new one. I didnt know what was up, but a few coworkers have had the same issue this morning...I wonder if it is all related?

Re: Do You Use Social Applications?

acafourek — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 10:45:42 -0000

I use a few of my apps from time-to-time though many of them are just novelty apps to create a visualization of my network or things like that.

To be honest though, most of the applications I added after the initial couple months of the platform were ones that I've seen profiled and reviewed on AllFacebook.com. So I think you should post about them periodically, but maybe only the best of the best that you find. Or perhaps a weekly recommendation?

This is a test post.

Re: Customer Service Hoops

acafourek — Fri, 16 May 2008 10:53:34 -0000

This is the polar opposite of my T-Mobile experience. In my 2.5 years as a customer, I have long thought that they have some of the best customer service I've ever encountered!

Not to mention, they have the most accurate voice recognition system I've encountered yet...at any time all you have to do is say "Let me talk to someone" (or something along those lines) and you will get transfered almost immediately.

So while I agree that many companies need to shift their customer experiences to a more positive realm, I think you are way off base on T-Mobile's service.

Re: The Facebook Stalking Tool

acafourek — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:42:37 -0000

I just checked it out and it got 4 out of 5 correct. There was one person on there who I dont ever recall searching for, but 4/5 isnt too bad!

Re: Facebook Completely Removing Network Pages

acafourek — Mon, 12 May 2008 10:24:49 -0000

I dont regularly look at network pages, but sometimes it is kind of cool to see how many people are in various networks.

What I o miss is facebook Pulse...the page that used to show overall data for all users in a network and their favorite things in their profiles.

haha well maybe the actual spool is mounted there on the middle spindle and the hub thingy (technical term) is attached to that so they are all attached and rotating together....maybe. I don't really know, but then again, if I knew, I wouldn't think this animation was so ridiculously awesome!

Re: Will Brightkite Succeed Where Dodgeball Failed?

acafourek — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:42:32 -0000

I've used it a few times and I like it because it is location+twitter+pownce.

Now all it needs is a conversation feature such as the @username in twitter.

Re: Facebook Worth $9 Billion?

acafourek — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:17:51 -0000

I have decided to make it my personal mission to ban all commentary on anything Henry Blodget predicts. Seriously, not only is he never in the ballpark, but he doesn't even get in the same universe as reality. He is a linkbaiter and rumor mongerer and that is about all.

$2,000 Google stocks? Remember those? Yeah, neither do I.
