- Do Facebook Vanity URLs Equal Kill Twitter Vol. 2? June 14, 2009This past Friday, Facebook started issuing vanity URLs to its 200 million-plus community. It was a big change for the social-networking company that has so far used unique numerical identifications to identify its members. Not anymore — now you can go to Facebook.com/OmMalik and friend me. It was such a major event that, even on the weekend, it was the talk […]Om Malik

- Family Business April 23, 2009A classic example of how feudal our politics is comes from a Rediff Q&A with Veena Singh, Arjun Singh’s daughter, who is contesting these elections as an independent candidate after the Congress denied her a party ticket. See this bit: Q You mentioned in your speech that you decided to contest because you were offended by the way the party has treated y […]Amit Varma

- Shai Agassi: The most important talk at TED 09 April 14, 2009This TED presentation by Shai Agassi at TED in February was not one filled with tears or laughter or amazing visuals, but it was my personal favorite. This talk was informative, motivating, and inspiring. In 18 minutes you can not answer all the questions, or address all the issues concerning such a technical topic. But at the end of his talk, I wanted more […]Garr
