The Wire's reply: Apart from Meta's 'fabrication' charge, some folks are saying The Wire may have been 'played' by unknown elements out to 'discredit' us or further some outlandish conspiracy. This is ridiculous. Our stories came from multiple Meta sources—whom we know, have met & verified

It's just a login URL for Facebook/Google to provide you speed while logging into Inert Space. We don't share anything neither we grab your contacts initially while logging in. The buttons are just there to sign in to the system. We are using PassportJS on our server to facilitate this. So it's an OAuth 2 authentication that's happening here. Did I miss anything?

I understand what OAuth does...more or less. I would predict that my sister does not. "Google" and "Facebook" don't connote privacy. They imply that if a person types "shoes", the next four hours of browsing will be full of shoe ads. That's the dissonance.

Why have a login at all?

Login is clearly aligned with privacy when "privacy" is mostly defined in terms of authorization. Login is less aligned with privacy when it is defined in terms of anonymity.

Google+ and Facebook are both services built on removing anonymity.

I completely agree with you. Will try to revert back to email/password based login.

Cannot remove login as then the features of social network will make no sense. Thanks for the feedback.

Friends, two of us dreamt about creating a startup in 2012. We were young at that time - just 22 and 23 years of age, and we came from two different countries - NewZealand and India. We have built something that we believe is one of the most data intensive yet powerfully collaborative. Can't wait to share it with the community here. Do read and let me know how do you feel. Show us some love if you got a hint what we have built.

Indeed a big news for Designer community. Behance has the power to put all the designers at one place. I am sure, they love Adobe as well.

Great Research. Just reading it.

Seriously good article.I loved the lines: because it’s better to be an adaptive company than a well-recognized fossil.

And the example : IBM, Amazon.

speed of deployment, and flexibility - “This is one thing I can’t talk about,” he says, a smile cracking his bearded visage, “because we’ve spent our own blood, sweat, and tears. I want others to spend their own blood, sweat, and tears making the same discoveries.”

No. That doesn't work. And that's why most of my colleagues are moving to Facebook notes than writing a blog post. Integration should be seamless.

Yes indeed it was. But my point is most of these blogging platforms are easing the way we post content. They have to be closely tied together with my social network

Never. We need to communicate. As 37 Signals say, your startup is known by the amount of responses it give to people. Engage your customers, where they are and in what way or by which medium or mail they want to reach.
