Yeah, I didn't do a great job conveying my perspective on what makes the true social graph. I don't believe social graph is just people. It's literally everything around you. Everything from TV show or broadcast you're watching or news you're hearing to even the environment and setting around us which is the weather.

Everything in life is connected - and that's the graph.

Re:Future of Content Distribution, Discovery & Consumption on Wednesday January 30, 2013 @05:42PM (#5142242)
Facebook's social graph data is the closest digital form replication of our offline true social graph. Our true social graph is what affects every single innate decision and action we make and take, as well as structuring the way we are influenced.

While Facebook isn't a "news" platform, it is, however, a platform in its beginning stages (albeit, highly advanced) that shows you "content" that is most relevant to you - through the usage of the replicated social graph.

And you're right, I wouldn't ever go to state that "curated content" (if done right) will leave anytime soon, but the implicit personalization of everything on the web will become reality and nothing will nor should be static content.

Ask HN: Good places to live/work in SoMA?

I'm looking to relocate with my startup team to SoMA from Boston starting this May/June.I've been looking on Yelp, Craigslist, Rent.com, etc. to find some good and affordable places to house a team of 4.I would like to be as close to the SoMA district as possible. For HN'ers who are in SF, any suggestions?

1) although you can hope for it, you can't guarantee something will become viral. threewords.me could have just as easily been another "project" had it been pushed out at the wrong time, sent to the wrong people, etc. etc. there's a lot of luck involved. i'm glad it took off the way it did. Mark made sure he would maximize the viral potential by having it easily shareable, etc, but that alone didn't make it viral.

2) i'm just jealous that he got real time experience in learning to scale his servers to support the crazy growth in users. not many people in the world have experienced viral growth with their webapps or startups. so congrats to Mark.

absolutely crazy
