How Many Friends is Too Many?

Written by Josh Catone

Offline, I have a network of under 50 people that I interact on a regular basis as friends. But online, the concept of “friend” is completely different. On Facebook I have nearer to 250 friends, on Twitter I have just over 300 followers. That’s just a blip compared to how many friends some of the true power users on those services have, but it brings to mind the question of how many friends is too many? Surely, the answer varies person-to-person, but there have to be some universal upper limits to the concept of “friendship.”

ND IL ED – transcripts available online

As of June 2008 transcripts of court proceedings in the Northern District of Illinois will be available on the PACER system on the following schedule

IF 90-days or less has passed since the transcript was ordered

THEN only the party that ordered that transcript may view it

IF 90-days or more has passed since the transcript was ordered

THEN any PACER user may view the transcript

Attorneys bear the responsibility for identifying personal information that might need to be redacted from the transcript, and for providing the court reporter with notice of same. The court reporter is responsible to follow up on those instructions. The fee cap of $2.40 will not apply to transcripts viewed on the PACER system. For more information see Policy Regarding Availability of Court Proceedings or the Court’s website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov

Web 2.0 Journal: Can We Fix The Web?

Close Window

Can We Fix The Web? — The Web needs fixing. The standards and recommendations that define the Web were last revised in 1999. Since then, the Web has grown from a document retrieval system into an application delivery system. We have made significant progress since then, due to the cleverness of the Web development community and the surprising expressive power of JavaScript, but we are at the limits. The Web is no longer a driver of innovation. It is now a serious impediment.

The round was led by Rustic Canyon Partners, and brings their total funding to over $4 Million.
