We just rolled out Impart. It's a simple tool for team leaders to send video messages to their team with a quiz/survey attached.

Team leaders are using it for quick weekly updates, replacing informational meetings, getting structured feedback from their team, sending quick how-to screencasts, and sharing thoughts from the road via video.

The format (video+questions) is effective for communication because it's more engaging than text and helps visual/audio learners understand better. Plus, the questions are great for reiterating important points and assessing understanding and buy-in.

I'd love for some team to try it out and offer some feedback! :)

This is really fun! Not sure why the shark keeps attacking me or how to get that sucker to cut it out. Maybe a little explanation of the shark would help. Didn't get too far so I'm not sure what kind of levels or progression there is. Well done on the overall responsiveness of the game.

I can't imagine the amount of electricity (even just for a split second) it would take to pull this off.

In this case the "mob" that was outraged was a small, very vocal minority.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

First glance: it's really pretty.

Not really. Treehouse is a learn-to-code training tool for beginners. A blog post about typical beginner mistakes is pretty relevant to the Treehouse audience.

Scientists, if carbon dating is limited to ~50,000 years or so, how do archeologists date things into the millions of years with accuracy?

"some issues resolve themselves" is not true. What you really mean is, "someone else resolved the issue."

Wow, the Bible app is worth apparently $1.1 billion and it's run by a church in Oklahoma. Worth more than Google and Twitter.

To those who've read both, I wonder how [the first edition of] Eloquent JavaScript compares with JavaScript: The Good Parts.
