I've always liked hackerne.ws :)

Simple.

Remove him/her.

Under no circumstance would I allow anyone at my company to abuse their power, and abuse other people.

As long as you have very clear evidence of his/her gross miss conduct, then I would terminate your contract.

+1 to you sir.

Nail. Head. You hit it.

Of course publishers will still show adverts...but if your main source of revenue drops 50% overnight - that's going to be a huge problem for a number of content creators...which is what Facebook are warning against.

Most of FB's revenue is direct inventory sold - so this won't be too much of an impact on their owned and operated inventory - but as I say, it's publishers who rely on Facebook's targeting to generate high eCPMs to efficiently monetize their audience that will suffer most.

Bingo. Exactly what I thought.

> “That’s right, Facebook actually gave some of the money it made from running those ads through its system to the business that paid for those ads. Which doesn’t make any sense but shut up, Facebook is the good guy, ok? And Apple is wrong to be doing this.“

So it appears the author has no idea what a mobile advertising network is/does...

FB aren’t wrong to highlight that this will have a detrimental impact for many thousands of publishers who offer content for free, due to the fact they run an ad supported model.

Let’s see how it plays out...

Is the Wpcom site itself a theme?

Are any exchanges actually built on robust decentralised infrastructure yet?

Agreed, huge respect for Chris.

Having been at the helm of a (nowhere near as big) social->turned anti social network I can relate to elements of the complexity around running 4Chan.

Excited to see what's next.

I would be surprised if many people would agree with you.

Candy Crush, Dropbox and 4 pics 1 word are three incredibly well thought of applications which have provided entertainment and practicality (in Dropbox's case) to millions of people around the world.

So, saying they are 'some of the worst' applications on the iOS App Store couldn't really be further from the truth. In fact, many would argue these are three of the best applications app consumers have ever seen.

A coincidence?

We are wired for negativity. You won't be alone.

A really, really insightful post Gabriel.

Great job - it's great to see someone really detailing things.

No way around that...

From first hand experience I absolutely agree with this.

Using Facebook's own PPC channels we are getting fraudulent clicks and fake profiles come via Facebook as a legitimate cost.

'Fraudulent' being the most important word.

This has been well received - http://www.quora.com/How-do-I-market-an-iPhone-app-effective...

Bootstrap is utterly brilliant in terms of validating an idea and indeed scaling one.

Sure, I've had one employer who took me on at 19 and I left when I was 21, (six months ago). I disclose my employer in other posts on my site.

Appreciate this note and your views.

However, that's not been my experience in previous businesses. You can create the worlds best product but if no one knows it exists, why build it.

I view the methods I use as a delivery medium to put information which adds value to the individuals who read it.

If I do that, then I can start to develop a personal relationship with them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this post has certainly created some interesting polarising views. I appreciate your comment.

Thanks for this note. It's valid. Not sure I agree in being unethical. For me the opportunity that arise from disclosing vs keeping secrets makes it worthwhile.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the share, I'll add this.
