Agreed. Great concept and execution.

The "share" feature shows that it also implemented a format to serialize the typing sequence and stores it on server.

If I still write letters to friends, I'd definitely start using this from now on.


It appears nobody noticed the "share" feature, which records your typing sequence and replays it. I think it's amazing to use this feature to write letters. Try reading this poem to see what I mean.

I improvised this as I was typing. The "Peace Piece" song was the inspiration for what I wrote. It's a really fun way of creative writing. The text isn't very good, but it feels like writing is like a performance.


p.s. It also records your typos and deletions.

p.p.s. While I was typing this poem, my wife thought that I was listening to a new jazz song and asked me what song it was.


This is super friggin cool. I love this.

It's also remarkable that over 60% have a screen wider than 1280px. (18%:1024,18%:other)


in fields like fashion and life style, etc., mom bloggers actually know your customers better than you, way better. and they represent they group of people with the appropriate purchase power.


let's see what's happening in china. a huge team merely for content censoring is required if your website ever displays any user inputed text. that's why china's twitter copycat companies have to employ several hundreds people(while twitter has 2-digits employees), and quite often make their entire designing / marketing department join the censoring team temporarily.


While it doesn't invalidate your general point, Twitter has 600+ employees: http://blog.twitter.com/2011/08/your-world-more-connected.ht...


update on the numbers, i just searched google and found that sina weibo recruited 1000+ people in march 2011. i was being a little bit too conservative in the first place. cant really estimate how many they've employed since then.


With every next paradigm it seems the content creation gets easier, and the volume is higher. We had blogs, web 2.0 sites, social media sites, and each time the volume increased. I don't think it's sustainable for them to keep this up for decades.


The LEGO argument may make people believe that linux is just a toy and not for production uses. Apart from that, it's quite simple and straight forward. BTW, we do have pre-built, highly customized distributions offered for those who likes things that work out of box.


how those former startup companies have been and will be evolving is part of the story. comics cant be interesting unless it really sees the point.
