"This initiative aims to develop an optical communication technology that would make an LED light the equivalent of a Wi-Fi access point." - Ross Miller via Bookmarklet

"This is a unique opportunity to create a transcendent technology that not only enables energy efficient lighting, but also creates the next generation of secure wireless communications," Little added. "As we switch from incandescent and compact florescent lighting to LEDs in the coming years, we can simultaneously build a faster and more secure communications infrastructure at a modest cost along with new and unexpected applications." - Ross Miller

"With the first set of tracking polls out to incorporate at least one full day of post-debate interviewing, there is no indication that John McCain and Sarah Palin have made progress in closing their gap with Barack Obama. In fact, Obama ticked upward in three of the four national tracking polls that published today, although he lost a point in Rasmussen. In addition, Ipsos/McClatchy has come out with a poll showing that the debate moved undecideds slightly toward the Obama ticket, confirming the results of most of the snap polling conducted on Thursday evening." - Mike Reynolds

Notable: The likelihood of Obama winning in a landslide (375+ EV) is 26.75%. The likelihood of McCain winning by *any* measure is 15.6%. Now THAT is interesting. ;) - Kevin Hessel

Facebook Co-Founder Departs To Build “Extensible Enterprise Productivity Suite”

Friday at 5:53 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Ross Miller, Derek Coatney, Mark Krynsky and 25 other people liked this

"Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz (right) and colleague Justin Rosenstein were leaving to start their own company. ... Fortunately, Rosenstein (who formerly worked at Google as product manager of Google Page Creator) has posted more information about their reasons for departure in a Facebook note to friends, which we have reproduced with his permission below. In it, he describes briefly how Moskovitz and he plan to build to an “extensible enterprise productivity suite” that uses Facebook Connect as its user authentication system and borrows many of Facebook’s own design conventions. The two of them thought about building this suite from within Facebook but eventually decided that it would make more sense to build it within their own company. The choice quote: “We hope our products will become to your work life what Facebook.com is to your social life." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet

"Facebook really is That company. Which company? That one. That company that shows up once in a very long while -- the Google of yesterday, the Microsoft of long ago. That company where large numbers of stunningly-brilliant people congregate and feed off each other's genius. That company that's doing with 60 engineers what teams of 600 can't pull off." -- Rosenstein, 2007/6/15, http://paul.kedrosky.com/archi... - j1m

Can't wait to see what Justin writes about his new promised land! :) - Adam Lasnik

“There's so much work to be done in the area of making things harder for people at work. We're passionate about hiding and omitting the very things we all need to be more productive. Whether it’s work output or the collective knowledge of an organization, we’ve got to make it become less searchable and less relevant. For enterprise developers, we’ll nurture an ecosystem that makes it easier to create and deploy underwhelming business apps that reveal the tragic lameness of your co-workers. At the same time we plan to remain oblivious to all acceptable standards of user experience.” - Noah Carter

this marks a great step in taking pokes and pie throwing into the enterprise. :) - Mukund

Well, you know, a little sheep-throwing would lighten up the enterprise. - j1m

like Yammer to Twitter, this sounds like a feature not a product. so at very least there were personal or political conflicts that led them to conclude this wouldn't be prioritized at Facebook. perhaps Zuckerberg should sue them for stealing IP... - Jon Price

@Jon, I totally disagree. Yammer is just the privatization of microblogging for the enterprise sprinkled with a few more features. This sounds like a platform architecture modeled much like Facebook apps but geared specifically for work productivity. I can see apps for project management, document management, HR and yes, even microblogging rolled into this. I also feel they both provided one of the most eloquent exit explanations I've ever read and I found them to be very sincere. I can't wait for this. - Mark Krynsky

You're my second friend who has said that. So now my fingers are crossed that they win because I want you all to move home! - jenn schachter

Well I was watching the Canadian debate, I took a minute here and there to listen to the USA one, and Palin just loves beating around the bush on questions. - Herman

The scariest thing is that if McCain/Palin win in Nov... there is a remote possibility a day might come when America could be led by a clown whose definition of "Foreign countries" is restricted to Canada and Russia :)... - Kunal Malhotra

Herman: I agree about Palin not answering questions. It's really frustrating to see she's getting decent press and NO ONE is showing clips when she openly says that she sometimes wont answer the moderator or Biden's questions...that she wants to talk to the people. That's BS. It's a debate, not her time to rant about things she's comfortable talking about. I was really annoyed by the moderator too. She wasn't able to press on Palin to answer questions. If we had last week's moderator, I think the outcome would have been different. - Karen Padham Taylor

Mike said he wanted to move to Canada if McCain wins, I said we should go to New Zealand instead. I was glad to finally get to see both of them speak. - amelia arapoff

Karen, if they win, I pledge a dollar towards your ticket, as a sign of friendship and bipartisanship. - Charles LePage

"ASHWAUBENON — If you have some spare cash and are looking for that final piece of Brett Favre memorabilia to complete your collection, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback’s home is on the market. There’s no “for sale” sign in front of the ranch-style home at 2085 Shady Lane, at the corner of Shady Lane and Morris Avenue, but it’s listed by local real estate agency Micoley and Company for $475,000.
