I had exactly this question when they mentioned that Osama was killed and his body thrown to the ocean. OK it's not a drowning, but why was it thrown to the ocean?
In particular this line in the screenshot hints at what he did: "Overwriting syscall_table_5 pointer"
The issue is likely applicable on particular qualcomm devices, and a software patch should be possible.
One intention is to make the site name feel white label, so it focuses on the user's name instead of the service.
I never share family photos with entire facebook audience, and I never use above tools to share with family. Probably only use Whatsapp to share 1 photo at a time.
Question is, what else can I do with this other than upload + share albums? What could be another value add?
Agree it may look like other sites. But the difference is there are fewer steps to produce content. You edit the site in-place clicking parts of it so you anticipate changes much better.
Same with posting: why should personal blogs have harder to use writing tools than a social network?
Your posts should be discoverable. Your blog has a "couchdb" post but it would take a lot of looking to find it.
Not trying to sell it - just want to understand if the message wasn't clear, and why you don't find it valuable.
Site search: A lot of bloggers have last few posts on their front page and rest is hard to find again. A search feature lets you discover all the content regardless of time.
Discover users: Agree. We will focus on the tool first and network later. Will remove that.
The idea here is to simplify personal blog setup, writing, and discovering efficiently.
If you start a blog on wordpress, you need to host it, configure via admin panels, go through options, install plugins. Select templates, then try to edit parts of it and fail.
Here you get one site that works, without any setup. Content is not dispersed. A visitor can efficiently find content.
I will revise the message to make it more clear.
By the way I am very interested in online newspaper design. Let me know if you are interested to work on a side project like this, where we enable anyone to launch online newspapers. (info@followme.co)

It should be unlucky for the VC who is in SB's curse list :)
There is also the masters of search: https://www.google.com/work/search/products/gss.html#pricing... but looks like the price goes higher when you have a lot of queries. Also you probably can't customize the query result as neatly as algolia
