Turntable.fm’s co-founder Billy Chasen has his business on lock, literally. You don’t use keys to enter Turntable.fm’s HQ, you send a text message from a white-listed phone number and voila, it opens. This is a much smarter, safer and cheaper option than handing out a ton of keys.
UPDATE: This won a Twilio prize and he explains how to build one yourself.
Say What Now of the Day: Fox News host/commentator Eric Bolling can’t remember a single terrorist attack that occurred on American soil during George Bush’s presidency, says “America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008.”
Bolling reacted to criticism of his questionable comment on today’s The Five, saying he “misspoke,” and calling out the “radical liberal left” for “pounc[ing] on us and me.”

It occurred to me a few days ago that while Tumblr’s new iPhone app looks great and works much better than the previous version, there doesn’t seem to be away to grab the link to a post from the dashboard if I were to share said post. Now how the hell am I supposed to link to a post without having to jump to the browser and grabbing the link from there?
Previously I could tap and hold on the blog title and it would offer a link to the post that can be copied but now that link has turned into a mess like this one: tumblr:///blog?name=laughingsquid&url=http%3A%2F%2Flinks.laughingsquid.com%2F&post_url=http%3A%2F%2Flinks.laughingsquid.com%2Fpost%2F7392596316%2Fwhat-skymall-looks-like-to-dogs
Sure, I can follow that link, wait for the page to load, look for the link to the post and copy it but that takes a while and another page load. I don’t understand the reasoning behind this new behavior.
the question now isn’t whether social media can start a revolution, but whether dictators believe it can.
badass.
Reshared this from G+, anyone know where it came from originally? I found this but he got it from Skype
