Fast forward to todays story in the Silicon Alley Insider about Facebook’s history and more. Asked to comment on certain allegations Facebook gave [...]

Rant: Got NHL-content on the mobile? Ever tried to use it?
February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · English, video
Continuing going to rant-school. Today: Why is it seemingly so difficult to deliver NHL content on the mobile phone in a way that makes sense to the people who consume that content?
How I wish people at NHL.com, Vaynermedia, ESPN.com, TSN.ca and Yahoo were listening…
