I'd be curious to know how many "slapped it together in 3 weeks" products end up thriving. My experience has been that any time I've thought of something that could be done that readily, I've eventually found someone else that already tried it (usually unsuccessfully). The successes I've had have come from long, hard slogs. May MeetButter meet better fortune.

I'm glad to see people building for this audience. I have to say I'd be a little reluctant to gift this to someone for fear of offending them. That said, it seems like it would be a great addition to a doctor's available interventions or a workplace wellness program.

Is email actually an urgent problem for people? Most of my personal communication is outside of email these days. In fact, I have gmail up for texting more than sending emails. Unsubscribing from commercial email generally works fine. My inbox feels very much under control. Maybe I am just not important enough for an Imbox.

Or better yet take the family photo sharing out of Facebook. I don't consider it a safe place for that. I just use Facebook for groups and events now. Family stuff goes through vzg.me or shared albums. But I agree within Facebook it would be cool to have them classify post types and let you filter: Family, Flamewar, Humblebrag, Meta

It's hard to imagine why the board thought that was a good idea. They should've bought Twitch or something Twitch-like that could be more easily molded to be "on brand".

This seems like the personality you have to have to want to work at Facebook. Money uber alles.

"Your solutions are not any worse than the ones on the internet."

Sorry, I just don't agree with this. Of course you need to vet the solutions you find online, but chances are you will find solutions that have already worked through bugs and edge cases you would only learn the hard way if you went forward naively.

This novel completely changed my perception of time. Very much worth the effort.

JM Coetzee - all, but Disgrace and Waiting for the Barbarians are good starting points.
