@kylefox do you think linking to hear would work? http://justinjackson.ca/about/ What else should I add? ("I've been on the web since 1993")

@paper_leaf Do you have contact info for Repository Mag? Are they #yeg based?

@amyhoy ;)

.@medium is an interesting platform. In 3 days, "When design doesn't matter" doubled my previous most popular post.

@rrhoover thanks!

@the_ok_kid does this mean you're on Reddit?

@kylefox thanks!

@luciencoy thanks for leaving that comment on my post!

@jenniegosset ;)

Wow! @lorindaapps brought me back a few beers from #portland http://instagram.com/p/Zj5_FFDobX/

@kdnewton thanks man!

@byderekj thanks for sharing!

@kylefox wow, really surprising. You can taste a lot if spices in this beer - strong throughout.

@elenwinata that would have been the perfect title for this post! I'd wish I'd used that one instead. ;)

RT @mrconnorobrien: It would've been a killer "fuck you" to Google if Yahoo had announced "Yahoo Reader" today. Kinda wish they had.

@rbazinet yes!

@ttimsmith it looks like… something new. ;)

@danpliego thanks for sharing my post. ;)

@byderekj thanks for recommending my post. What was significant about it for you? https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866

@alexhorre ha ha ha. Well, she does have that.

@alexhorre I'm just not sure how it improves their bottom line. This feels really similar to the Geocities acquisition in 1999. @ryancarson

@ryancarson how does this help Yahoo?

Tumblr users seem to be taking the news rather well. #yahoo

@tnorthcutt ha ha ha

Thanks @SidebarIO & @kylefox for linking to my post yesterday: http://sidebar.io/2013/5/19

@mindcrash visual, graphic design, is a big part of "design", isn't it?

@aral I'd love to explore this further. What is "good design" to you?

"The means are not the end, and desirable ends can sometimes be reached by unusual means." - Shawn Hargreaves http://buff.ly/17SkLDc

@iaincollins ;) Sounds good. @aral @mmalioris

@alexhorre I'm guessing you agree with him. ;) I'm happy to engage in good discussion about the post if you're open to it.

@aral in that process, yes (and I personally subscribe to that process).

But not every founder / team would subscribe to that definition.

@iaincollins I'm all ears. ;)

@aral I can appreciate that POV. That being said: semantics can be subjective. "How it works" is also engineering.

@aral Hey Aral, thank for joining the discussion. ;) I'm specifically talking about visual design (graphic design) @mmalioris

@kylefox https://twitter.com/ttimsmith/status/336333031369482240

@paper_leaf a better title might have been "A pretty design doesn't always matter"

@paper_leaf "when design doesn't matter" ;)

@scottharveyco that's a good question. I'd have to ask @robwalling ;)

@akaffen @SamuelHulick ha ha. True.

@akaffen @SamuelHulick always hard to untangle what kills a product: could be design, engineering, marketing, consumer taste, customer dev..

Yahoo acquires youth-driven content platform.

Wait a second. We've heard this story before… http://money.cnn.com/1999/01/28/technology/yahoo_a/

@robwalling I'm getting a lot of heat on this one. ;)

@despe_ki_roule what did you think of that post?

@BrentLachman it's been a longtime favourite of mine. The pack I just picked up has Fringate which I've never had. http://www.unibroue.com/en/beers/43/product

@ttimsmith btw, I love ya too. ;)

@Evanish what about good, constructive criticism?

@ttimsmith Thanks for your input (I thought this post would bring up some good discussion). I changed the sub-header.

@ttimsmith I'm specifically focused on the visual part of design, not design as a whole.

@Evanish @thedannorris Hi, my name is Justin.

@rskopecek thanks Randy.

Whoa, that was quick. "Design doesn't matter" is already at the top of Designer News: https://news.layervault.com

@peterwallhead no worries. ;)

@robwalling you get quick a mention in my new @Medium post: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866 (for recommending @Wpengine)

"Design doesn't matter" is also on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/newest

I just published "Design doesn’t matter" https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866 Thanks to @mike_hasarms @MattGoldman_SD @SamuelHulick

@garyvee I think you'd like this @medium post "Quit trying to attract a crowd - just help people" https://medium.com/product-people/544ec0ec7b4b

@lrtl cool! Thanks @FullContactAPI!

@lrtl thanks for sharing! How'd you come across my post?

@SamuelHulick sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

@rskopecek sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

@rrhoover sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

@kylefox wow. Hadn't read that. Thanks.

@wishblizz sweet! Thank you! Favorite interview so far?

RT @noeltock: @mijustin we've definitely had plenty of requests for papyrus on happytables, chances are they've already printed their menus…

RT @mike_hasarms: @mijustin and the alcohol/liquor industry can be the opposite...very high standards of packaging design mask product qual…

@wishblizz thanks for sharing! How'd you come across my post?

@kylefox just sent you a DM. ;)

Is there anyone up that can give me feedback on a contentious design post I'm writing?

@dustin @teehanlax yeah, I never knew about that connection! Super cool.

@percyhanna yup.

RT @levie: 48 more hours until your parents find out about -then subsequently join- Tumblr. Enjoy it while it lasts.

@lukemiler ha ha ha. Listen: if it helps me jump the queue at Mr. Submarine, I'm all for it!

;)

My 3 year-old insisted on doing his hair before he'd go to the mall with us.

@ttimsmith ha ha. Just name drop @adamstac. That'll get you into any fancy dance club. ;)

@ttimsmith "Have you SEEN the likes on my Instagram stream?"

"Do you KNOW who retweeted me last week?"

@ttimsmith I think those are all hilarious lines. I'd love to try one sometime:

"Do you know how many people read my blog?"

@ttimsmith ha ha ha.

You mean you've never tried getting into a fancy dance club with your reputation as a world famous podcast host?

@_kevinya thanks man!

@priceintel pricing for startups is a chapter in the book I'm writing: http://productsecrets.nerdnorth.com

@kylefox @rrhoover ha ha. This due diligence seems to say otherwise: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/yahoo

@bikemech_ca I haven't used Pocket. I personally like Instapaper so I haven't switched. I've heard pocket is good.

@paper_leaf @kylefox yes! I'll be there for a week long stint in early July.

@joestump ha ha. What's in it for Yahoo? Haven't the Conde Nast, Newscorp deals shown that these acquisitions don't work?

@rrhoover @kylefox These co's (Tumblr, Reddit, etc) already have a solid product + millions of users.

If they can't monetize that, who can?

@joestump ha ha. That helps the founder, but how's it going to help the underlying business model?

This mindset is helping me move from being self-focused to other-focused. http://wp.me/p1366z-d0

@ttimsmith you should have me on Too Lazy to Blog. I've got a fire in my belly on this one...

@ttimsmith how? How will this userbase help Yahoo?

@ttimsmith what do you mean?

"ugh why can’t yahoo buy facebook instead". (I'm laughing so hard at all these Tumblr quotes) http://tmblr.co/Zvf7etlDf1SR
