How much press did you manage to get for SkyChalk?

Yeah, huffing and puffing about this would get them some short-term buzz. This move, in my mind, earns them long-term respect.

Move on, and focus on the product—not the logo.

Love it.

Does anyone know (or have any educated guesses) if Google Drive will have an installed state like DropBox, or will it be entirely web-based?

It's funny, but I didn't think I'd like the fact that I had to install DropBox. Now, I can't imagine any other way it could work. Then again, I'm not paid to solve these problems.

I'm rooting for Blekko and DDG and pretty much anything that will uproot or disturb Google's stronghold.

For one, I miss the days when Google search felt fresh, magical, and honest. Search Plus Your World just irks me, because, as many have pointed out, it isn't providing relevant results and its shoving G+ down my throat.

As an aside, I'm interested to see which major search engine will partner with Tumblr. I'm not smart enough to figure out the details of the relationship, but I think have access to their stream of data could be pretty cool.

"Too many talented people are on the sidelines waiting for the perfect idea. Jump in! You can make a very goood living with a good idea, and that positions you well to find a better idea."

Well said. Good ideas can very easily morph into great ones if you're focusing on the right metrics and getting user-feedback. But inaction is always inaction, and inaction can't grow.
