For example, there is less need for registration and login implementations; just use Facebook, because almost everyone has an account already. What various single-sign on projects have failed on, seems Facebook is now making a reality. Read the rest of this entry »
One of the major themes the past year or two has been something that could be described as “We have to move shortest possible distance, fail fast, get up fast and because most of our assumptions are wrong anyway, we have to correct them fast”. This could be also titled “fail fast”.
