Decision tree for using a QR code

I feel like the QR code is the litmus test for whether your ‘digital experts’ are actually digital experts.

(Although, I have seen some data that suggests that they work in a few specific situations.)

Pretty perfect.

Should be a law.

Startup adventures abound!: Why Dave McClure is wrong about MBAs in startups (sorta)

Startup adventures abound!: Why Dave McClure is wrong about MBAs in startups (sorta):

hippoland:

Sales. Not product management. Not product development. Not UX. Sales. This is what a good MBA program should teach you. It should teach you how to cold-email. How to cold-call. How to choke back on a sale in order to increase the likelihood of it going through.

Yes. One hundred percent. Yes.

Forecast: Announcing Forecast:

forecastio:

We’re extremely excited to announce the launch of Forecast, a new global weather service.

About a year ago, we released a little app for the iPhone and iPad called Dark Sky, attempting to do something new and interesting for weather forecasting, a field we think had become pretty stagnant….

Love the innovation that came out of creating Dark Sky. It’s a beautiful creation.

parislemon:

Haven’t tried the iOS versions just yet, but absolutely love this app for the Mac. As a kid, I remember sitting in the car around the top-of-the-hour and waiting for my dad to turn on the radio for the news updates. This is that, but from a wide variety of sources (NPR, BBC, ESPN, etc) and always right there on your desktop. Brilliant idea.

Downloaded this app this morning. Love it.

Startup adventures abound!: We're not crushing it:

I want us to go into work everyday thinking we need to bond together to get that tough win. I don’t want anyone on my team for a moment to think that we’re crushing it

Well said.

Apple in Talks With Foursquare About Data-Sharing Deal

Apple in Talks With Foursquare About Data-Sharing Deal:

I meant to write about this idea last week after Google launched Maps for iOS and now the WSJ beat me to it.

It just makes so much sense. Foursquare is still one of my favorite apps and has pivoted from a location based social network to a local discovery guide. Brilliant.

Tumblr Staff: Our engineering processes seriously failed this afternoon and cost you...:

staff:

Our engineering processes seriously failed this afternoon and cost you and your blogs nearly 4 hours of downtime and almost 100 million views.

Painfully, this isn’t the first time this winter I’ve had to give you similar news.

When incidents like this happen, our entire engineering team comes…

Open and upfront communication. Better for your users and your employees.

Hey everyone! I have an exciting and slightly overwhelming milestone to share with you:

Tumblr has broken into the Top 10 sites in the U.S., and now has a worldwide audience of 170 million people.

This isn’t meant to be a brag – though you should definitely try our new Android and iOS apps if you haven’t yet – but a credit to all of your brilliant creative efforts. You guys have earned an audience bigger than the biggest TV networks, and you continue to make some of the most thought provoking, insightful, inspiring, funny, diverse, and compelling content being created today.

It is truly a privilege to build products for you, and we are humbled every day by all the amazing ways you use them.

So this tumblr thing might take off huh?
