As Data takes over voice, all Telcos will eventually be ISPs providing voice.

Almost at tears reading this. If I have to die today, the most painful thing will be seeing by family going away from me, and most importantly my precious daughter who is just few months old now.

I run a startup (around wishing & bucket-list) and I keep telling folks - life is short, fulfill every wish you have. Be strong bro, that is all I can say now.

Should have respected his privacy. He never wanted to be publicly known figure and this is anyway not an interview.

Yes, it will if your account is connected. If not, then it will create a second account - but once twitter is linked to main account, all wishes get merged in to one.

Kind of dropbox for wishes. It syncs up wishes in to one.

Thanks. Valid feedback. Yes - we're missing that bit when a user joins with email address and without friends / followers. Will introduce that soon.

Personally, I hate spam as much as you do. We have enabled sharing on Facebook / Twitter only with a context. Almost every place with explicit user permission. There are many annoying apps, we don't want to get there.

Thanks for this. I agree, will get simple text.

beingpractical | 13 years ago | on: What Twitter's Announcement could have said

Twitter should have been little more considerate in its communication with its developer community. Anil Dash made all that sound comforting/positive. A must leason for all platform enablers.
