What Hacker News says?
I've never been a fan of Facebooks behavior and attitude toward users. I signed up for an account a while back mainly to make it harder for anyone else to 'be' me. I watched as the privacy continually eroded. ( an excellent 2010 chart here: http://www.broadstuff.com/archives/2196-Facebooks-Privacy-Er... ) I've been forced to sort out privacy snafus several times over the years, as they added new on-by-default option…

HN discussionThis is a great observation and something I haven't really seen put this way. It immediate reminded me of this graph http://broadstuff.com/uploads/HypeCurve2008.JPG I suspect it has something to do with the tremendous technological advances made post WWII.

HN discussionRegarding hirind "quants," I think it's a hit or miss. Quant's are good for throwing numbers through a spreadsheet all day (literally); however, the great ones see the big picture in what they're doing. Most don't. You may want to look for more, "right-brain thinkers." http://broadstuff.com/archives/1234-Is-the-Master-of-Fine-Ar...

HN discussionIn my experience, the mom blogs are probably the most active (and interesting) part of the blogosphere. I think this whole gender is wildly underserved, but especially mothers with kids 18 and under...there's huge money to be made building services/communites around these specific needs. BlogHer, etc, is good but just the tip of the iceberg. http://broadstuff.com/archives/1330-En-gendering-the-next-gr... Another sim…
