on: Facebook to pay $10 million to settle suit
I see a lot of friend-endorsed adverts which they might not find appropriate (Friend A likes Hooters! etc.). I'm surprised the settlement doesn't allow for a way to show (and reject) which brands you follow might use your name. The adverts people might get featuring you are pretty much a mystery.

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention INQ - there've been rumours around a possible linkup there for a while.

If they're at 30+ staff, they've managed to keep hosting to a pretty small chunk of total budget.

Original image plus two (or more) scaled thumbnails. Also, I don't think they're doing any reuse (upload the same pin for 2 different S3 objects of the same image). 5.3Mb / object is still really high though.

on: The Great search for Analytics services
I'm really struggling to find a cheap solution to this. So many metrics services seem to be based around conversion to a sale. For ad-supported sites, you need pretty huge numbers to turn revenue, and then you're priced straight out of these kind of products.

Is anyone else surprised at how many rounds of closures Google seem to announce? I'm not sure why these were kept through the previous 2 culls.
