Google to Acquire AdMob for $750 million - http://www.admob.com/google...
Matt Ellsworth liked this
That frustration is what led me to found AdMob a few years ago while I was in grad school. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to gather a tremendously talented group of employees. Together we've been a part of helping to create a healthy and vibrant environment where developers and publishers, small and large, can both promote their services as well as benefit from the attention and usage their products attract. In our early days we were focused primarily on the mobile web, and gained immense satisfaction from each new business that our service made possible within the mobile browser.

Speedtest.net launches Android application - http://androidandme.com/2009...

"Speedtest.net for Android is the perfect application to test 3G speeds. The app was just released in the last 48 hours and has already been updated several times to fix some bugs. The service works just as one would expect it to. A settings page allows you to change servers, adjust speed measurements, and sort history." - Just tested it on the Droid, it works OK but seems stuck in portrait orientation.

"While it is obvious that this maneuver creates a problem for the multi-billion dollar GPS market, it also poses real challenges for the leading smart phone players – RIM’s Blackberry and Apple’s iPhone. Without access to their own mapping data, these vendors now face an interesting dilemma. Do you risk flying naked without free navigation or do you suck it up and swallow the above average royalty fee for each and every handset? Neither option is stellar. This problem isn’t nearly as daunting as the one now faced by the Windows Mobile and Symbian teams. As software providers, they are lucky to get a per unit royalty equal to that extracted by the GPS data guys. If they are now forced to integrate this data merely to keep their product competitive, their gross margin just went negative. Ouch!"

I'm psyched to get Google maps powered navigation. they provide much better directions than tom tom ever could... and if they calculate live traffic as well thats good. but i'm curious as to why Verizon doesn't seem to mind since their nav package is normally $15/month.
- Matt Ellsworth
My experience with Google has been completely different. They were notably subpar when they stopped licensing the leader in map data a year or two ago, and their directions now are as bad or worse than MapQuest. I split the difference now between them and a GPS unit when I need to, but generally prefer to use an actual map for most accurate directions.
- Cole Jolley
I think this is likely to change in a big way once they fully leverage their Street View database. Still, I can't argue with free when the errors are few IMHO.

Is this an example of "open" systems putting people out of business? (of course, it's not personal, it's just business..."
- Cliff Gerrish
Does Google actually make any money from their maps? How many Google behaviors are enabled by their huge search revenues and how many of those can continue as their dominance wanes? Also as the article mentions Nokia owns Navteq so the "Symbian" problem is a non issue (unless you think there is a viable Symbian outside of a Nokia context).
- Hayes Haugen
Now the droid initiative on verizon finally makes sense to me. I watched the demos as they showed off feature after feature that verizon likes to charge extra for thinking no way is this not going to be expensive. But with google paying verizon on search ad revenue, verizon doesn't have to nickel and dime their customers for every added feature.

While I like it, it's not intuitive. Example: friend asked me what the difference is between the "News" feed and "Live" feed. I explained it to her, and she asked how it was better then "highlights". I preferred "highlights" for displaying highly engaged items, myself, but I see the value to the two new systems. Time will tell. Knowing Facebook, they likely won't roll back the feature, and keep powering forward.
- Mike Nayyar
If they fix the comments and likes to push things back up to the top, highlights won't be necessary because the more active items are still seen (regarding the live feed, which is all that matters) :-)

Stuart: no, that won't happen until next year but you can see the trend. Twitter and Facebook are getting new features (and Facebook has 200 people working on its engineering team).

I wonder how the system used to choose what to show you in the highlights section. And is it using some algorithm to SELECT what it shows in Live Feed? (Instead of EVERYTHING as I thought above.)
- Michael Slattery
Michael, I think Live feed shows you everything, except those you've hidden. That's the difference from when they had the live feed before. Before you couldn't choose to hide people in your live feed. Also, be sure to use the filters on the left - make some friend lists and filter your live feed by friend list.

- Jesse Stay

- Micah Wittman
The difference between the Facebook and FF communities is that this is a tight-knit community. Many of us more active users all know each other. That's not the case for Facebook. This is the community Facebook could come and actually talk, and we'd listen if they actually participated.
- Jesse Stay
A better question, does anyone actually know anyone inside Facebook?

Johnny, I do - I'm mostly venting, and perhaps hoping some of them might see this. Next time I chat I'm going to bring it up though. (not sure how much it will help though)
- Jesse Stay
When you have people flocking to your service there is little reason to worry about this little community.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
Is it a vast culture difference or is it a company size thing? They're inter-related, certainly, but on the whole.
- Micah Wittman
Micah, I'm sure it's both. It's easier for the FriendFeed founders to interact because it's a smaller community here. That also contributes to us all knowing each other (or feeling like we do).
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, thinking about it, the interaction by the FF team in general (it varied by person of course) — it wasn't the frequency that was stand-out, it was that it felt authentic, reasonably open and wasn't defensive. That was part of the shock about the facebook announcement - it seemed uncharacteristic, not the FF voice speaking. But that's just my impression.
- Micah Wittman
If current day peeps inside FB made a similar effort here, I suspect the reception here would warm quickly. I've heard Friendfeed is good for conversation, as it happens ;)

When we launched Maps, one of the best "new" features we put in that didn't get much attention was capturing the clipboard paste and replacing line breaks with commas so you could copy and paste a full address in an email into our search box (rather than typing all the components into separate form fields like MapQuest). Turned out to be a pain to do in many browsers - I spent an annoying number of hours tweaking it at the time (though it is easier in modern browsers).

True story. I once had a roommate who would take full PLATES of food into the bathroom. Put that in your pipe & smoke it.

See, you guys are all going straight to the gross factor (which we also discussed). But we were literally trying to figure out HOW you would go to the bathroom WHILE holding an ice cream cone. There were no ice-cream-cone-holders in the bathroom. We checked.

Have a friend hold it? Y'all go in packs...

She was alone, MVB. That would be a good idea - I'll remember that next time I TAKE AN ICE CREAM TO THE BATHROOM. :)

Its obvious. She feared it would be a long trip necessitating a snack. Same logic as with a car ride.
