Twitter with a Brain: Proxies and APIs →

Suppose that the user wants to un-follow “pottymouth” for 24 hours. I long for a way to temporarily follow and un-follow people and trending topics. The magic suggested in this article would enable much more than that, but this would be a useful start. [via DF]

“AT&T failed to invest adequately in the necessary infrastructure to expand...”

– mrgan: From Verizon’s legal response to AT&T’s lawsuit (The lawsuit claimed that Verizon’s depiction of AT&T’s network was misleading.) The quote above rings so true, my ears hurt. Security (page 44) is set at $50M. Your move, AT&T.

The House health care bill

Note: this was a memo circulated by the “Government and Industry Relations Department” at a large company where my friend works (not an insurance company). It’s good for “anyone that is looking for info but not interested in sensational e-mails from either side of the political spectrum designed for fundraising and/or scaremongering.” House Narrowly Passes...

The DMCA takedown problem

If you’re at all interested in the DMCA and its effects on you, you’ll want to follow these developments. Turns out my years with National Model UN were relevant and not just super-nerdy, particularly when I directed WIPO in 2004 (Dayton) and then the WTO in 2006 (New York). marco: A lot of people were talking about the “secret copyright treaty” last week, but most of the cited...

– Outrage over wall blocking free U2 Berlin concert - Yahoo! News (via david-noel) Bizarre. Aside from the irony, it’s not like they lose revenue by letting outsiders see/hear the concert. (I’m confident it will sell out either way.)

The Incompetence of American Airlines →

A Clueless Company Flailing Dustin Curtis: A FEW MONTHS AGO, I wrote an article expressing my displeasure with American Airlines‘ hideous online presence. I also spent some time mocking up a redesigned version of their website. To my surprise, the head of user experience at AA.com emailed me an amazing response describing some of the design problems faced in large corporations. You should read...
