Anil Dash: No One Has 1 Million Twitter Followers

I agree with Anil. Some people follow thousands of people. I follow just about 70. It’s a good number and I don’t get overwhelmed by tweets. I like to read everything. Well, honestly, I scan and read.

Anil Dash on Google’s MS Moment

Anil Dash comments on Google’s Microsoft moment since they are going to have multiple competing products lines, ie Android vs Chrome OS.

This is, for lack of a better term, Google’s “Microsoft Moment”. This is the point when the difference between their internal conception of the company starts to diverge just a bit too far from the public perception of the company, and even starts to diverge from reality. At this inflection point, the reasons for doing new things at Google start to change.
