zupa | 13 years ago | on: Facebook’s New (Evil) Plan to Grab New Users

As of the FB app on my iPhone, when I wanted to connect it with my phones data (to get extra phone numbers of my friends, and see their profile pics), I was asked to agree that the app can upload the data to FB and let them use it whatever way they want to. (Read: all the phone numbers in my phone, not in the FB app.) That really blew my mind. I didn't agree, but if 500 people have your phone number in their phones, the chance that none of them agrees is zero.

Thank you Dirk.

I was looking in the PR book you suggested and also in many others I have found. Let me be straight, I find all of them dry, boring and useless. I had little idea about PR, and I still have little, but I start to realize it is a different animal from what a startup would need. It feels like something mysterious and don't believe in mystery.

You did actually help me to the conclusion, that I will just skip learning PR now and focus on marketing, like rmATinnovafy said. I did need your input, thank you.

I think you are onto creating a graphical programming language.

You implemented: -variables (shapes in left windows) -objects (collection of variables, the left column, pass by reference) -addition (drag in the middle) -unset (delete) -while(1) loop -multiplication (resize)

I don't know yet where rotation fits into the picture. Maybe its just that "primitive types" in a graphical programming language would be more complex, they could be described with -shape -size -orientation -position

I think I have a use-case for you. Maybe we could talk about it thalter at zupa hu

Congrats, fascinating!

I'd prefer a place that is less perfect. Where you can dig things into the wall, change the furniture or paint your room. Give a place but don't take my freedom.

Besides, it looks amazing! I just didn't want to move in:)

Disagree. What makes it investor's place? If the investors are always around. It would help in connecting with each other. It does not need to be free..

I have to say: this is incredibly intresting! I woulbe be curious how one can pass-in variables.

I'm afraid you can not get much out of the great features of JS. Event drivenness..

Anyway, this blows my mind!

I find it boring to see an apple with a writing: "Eat it!". I guess I can figure it out myself what to do with an apple.

I think it's great to know who you are dealing with, I have a picture of me on my business card as well. Maybe you should concider it.
