I agree, Marak. To ALL of what you said.

There are two types of people on this Earth: Those whom have read Sapiens and those whom have not.

Harari is required reading, especially if you're reading this comment.

We agree. We've focused heavily on the User Experience from day zero. We see no reason that consumer software should be a more pleasant experience than enterprise/business software. It should just be "software" and it should be well designed!

thanks! we don't sleep...that much ;)

Docker definitely on our roadmap; vagrant in consideration. It's a straightforward install for the runtime now.

Thanks brryant! We've been laser focused on community first, but that community _includes_ the enterprise.

I shorted Amazon in the after market on the news.

Wait, so Om Malik has yet another reason to bash Zuck? I'm shocked.

The need for new metrics! Written about extensively here months ago:

Also to be read as, "Apple to invest 0.38% of 2011's total profit to bring Mac production to the US next year"

I read Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and of course, Taleb...

These open letters to a CEO of a massive corporate conglomerate need to stop please. No CEO gives two fucks about your blog post. Cry me a river, J Tim...

> To bigger companies: chill out with the "acquihires."

Easy for someone to say whom doesn't run the M&A and Strategy department for a multi-nation corporate conglomerate engaged in one of the most competitive spaces for talent acquisition and retention.

This is precisely why I wrote this article on why ecosystems are what's important -- not a fancy new handset. Nokia and RIM are near almost certain death in the next 18-24 months.

I will continue to beat this drum:

Mobile is not just the web.

If you are thinking mobile first, you should be building network applications, not web applications.

Fred Wilson is just an example of someone who get this.

The Nasdaq will be FLOODED with orders when FB begins trading. Will be interesting to see how their systems handle every algorithmic trading machine on the planet trading FB's stock...

The iOS SDK I'm building at work ultimately does the same thing. Much better UX.

With FB's IPO imminent, they should take some of that cash and buy Pinterest (Andreeson is invested in both anyway).

Yup, spot on. You'll notice that the massive, visually appealing sites and apps (Flipboard, Instagram, for example) cater to a different audience and are arguably more suited for monetization: your "sponsored pins" idea - subtle additions to the natural eye flow down the page, BUT using the data that Pinterest has on your profile to show sponsored pins that you would actually WANT to see.

WOW! Those numbers are crazy and precisely why I wrote the blog post.

Yes, private boards are key, IMO. I bought the domain wishistry.com a few years ago to provide just that: Private wishlists for birthdays, weddings, holidays, etc. I think Pinterest will roll this out soon.

I based it simply on the data that was available (see the link in the blog post).
