That can include commenting, sharing or interacting with it in additional ways. Facebook pioneered this by adding a “like” and “share” buttons to many sites across the web — Yammer is basically trying to do the same thing for any site within a company’s intranet."

• daten auf karten "nochmal kurz zurück zu raul krauthausen. sein projekt zeigt auch, wie grandios qype gescheitert ist. dass man für die barrierefreiheit quasi qype neu programmieren muss, bzw. dass qype es nicht erlaubt die orte nach kriterien wie barrierefreiheit ordentlich zu filtern, zeigt wie sehr qype sich verzettelt hat. hätte qype eine offene schnittstelle die das erstellen von qype-klonen wie wheelmap auf basis von qype bequem erlaubte, zum beispiel indem vorhandene qype-daten sauber gefiltert auslesbar wären und neue daten, wie barrierefreiheitdetails oder eine rollstuhlgerechtigkeitsampel die vorhandenen daten anreichern könnten, dann gäbe es wahrscheinlich schon einige solcher klone. gibts aber nicht."

• San Francisco’s real multi-billion-dollar war. Hint, it’s not Amazon vs Google. Why isn’t Techcrunch covering it? "But don’t look at these companies one-by-one.
