Scrabulous Strike !!

"Game companies Hasbro, which distributes Scrabble in North America, and Mattel, which is responsible for its overseas trademarks, have reportedly asked Facebook to remove the game from its application directory. And you can tell it's a serious legal matter because nobody's talking." - [ Via ]

This is crazy why would a gaming company want to take down a online game of thier's. Should not they be thankful to Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla, who founded Scrabulous.com in 2006. It's  brought life back into this game. !!


I am routing that Hasbro actually buys them out and hire's them to keep the program running in the FB envoirnment. Off course they still get their $$ via ad serving !

Good Quote

"The ability to make good decisions regarding people represents
one of the last reliable sources of competitive advantage." -- Peter Drucker

Have come out of one big cluster fuck. I certainly am now seeing the wisdom of these words. Leadership, needs pinpoint who actually is creating value and who is just whitewashing reality to suite their own agenda's.

How to Get 16 Million Facebook Application Users?

This is an interesting read to the degree that one has 16Million users within 10 weeks. Thats quite a high velocity and traction in a short period of time.

"e answer is simple. Run a facebook class at Stanford. Facebook Class instructor Dave McClure reviews the amazing results from the class. You will see that the lesson here is multiple iterations of applications and a 2 pronged focus on virality and engagement of the facebook applications.

unique name-matching technique to identify ethnic

Q: Your study used a unique name-matching technique to identify ethnic patterns. Why did you choose this methodology?

A: This project employs the names on U.S. patents to determine probable ethnicities of the inventors. For example, inventors with the surnames Wang and Ming are more likely Chinese than Hispanic.

The central advantage of this approach is that the ethnic assignment is at the individual patent level. There are over 7 million inventors associated with U.S. patents since 1975. This micro-level assignment allows us to characterize ethnic contributions at levels of detail not otherwise possible: For example, the annual Chinese percentage of U.S. inventors can be refined down to the 1992 Chinese share of IBM's inventors in Silicon Valley working in semiconductors.
This exceptional detail, especially within individual firms and schools, allows us to answer many more questions than previous data sources.
