I am never more painfully reminded of the limits of symmetric "friend" -based social networks than I am when I post a book review on Goodreads. I love books, and I love spreading the word about ones I enjoy (as well as ones I expected to enjoy, but didn't quite). Most of the time, my reviews go out quietly to a small group of friends, whose book recommendations I also follow. It's a lovely social network. But every once in a while, I post a link to one of my reviews on Twitter, and am immediately deluged with friend requests. Some of them are from people I know, but whose taste in books I may not share (or even care about), and many are from complete strangers. If I say "yes" to any of them, I have to see every book they review as well. As you can imagine, it doesn't scale. Read more.
Twitterer @HilaryP is a developer, a technical evangelist, and the pregnant mommy of a toddler. And though she likes girly things like yoga and beauty products as much as the next gal she was also looking for a Mother's Day discount that appealed to her geeky desires. Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media agreed. And that's why we're now celebrating Mother's Day with a 40% off discount on tech books on oreilly.com. We're also posting photos of Moms with their favorite tech books here. Please send to press@oreilly.com your fav pics. Read more.
As someone who fights with quick hotel and airplane meals as a part of my livelihood I found this chart unsurprising. It's known that eating fast doesn't give your brain time to get the "all full" signal so you can eat more calories - especially if you are eating calorically-dense fast foods. This chart was created by Catherine Rampell of Economix who describes her methodology... Read more.
It's not news that journalism is in crisis. CNN turned newspapers into first-day fishwrap and Craigslist killed the business model. Solutions are scarce, and our democracy is at risk. I don't have a chart to guide our way through the darkness to Citizenry 2.0, but there are some who can navigate the singularity. Journalism needs great hackers. Not just nerds, but programmers who care -- about the values of journalism and the power of a free press to hold government accountable. Read more.
We have five upcoming webcasts you will not want to miss!
At the Adobe MAX conference in San Francisco, Adobe passed out DVD’s of both Flash Catalyst (code name Thermo) and Flex Builder 4 (code name Gumbo). These products together hope to bridge the gap between designers and developers, by giving designers the ability to control the look of the application and then handing off a project ready to be coded by a developer.
This tutorial has been created with the version of Flash Catalyst that was distributed during the MAX conference last November. Since this is an early build of the software some features may change and others added before the final release. Read more.
If there's a site that exemplifies explosive growth, it has to be Twitter. It seems like everywhere you look, someone is Tweeting, or talking about Tweeting, or Tweeting about Tweeting. Keeping the site responsive under that type of increase is no easy job, but it's one that John Adams has to deal with every day, working in Twitter Operations. He'll be talking about that work at O'Reilly's Velocity Conference, in a session entitled Fixing Twitter: Improving the Performance and Scalability of the World's Most Popular Micro-blogging Site, and he spent some time with us to talk about what is involved in keeping the site alive. Read more.
Twitter has been used for a lot of different purposes, and one has been to report breaking news. But there's been some criticism of how Twitter deals with news, such as the Swine Flu outbreak. With that in mind, O'Reilly Week in Review talked to Tim O'Reilly himself, co-author of the new Twitter Book, about the role of Twitter in informing the public. Read more.

Malcolm Gladwell treats us to another of his counter-intuitive x-rays of the world's workings in this week's New Yorker feature, "How David Beats Goliath." His focus on the difference between batch and real time processing is a key to understanding why many nonprofit and commercial marketing professionals are failing to understand Twitter and other real time media.

This is the third in a series of articles that explore some of the new features in Apache Pivot 1.1. Pivot is a Java-based RIA toolkit that is currently undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation. The previous article demonstrated Pivot's new support for browsing the local file system; this article explains how Pivot can be used to implement support for "push" notifications in a web application using the Jabber instant messaging API.

This morning, Tim Bray tweeted about a post on prime numbers and Benford's law. To cut the esoterica short, one of the big problems in prime numbers is that people don't know how they're distributed. This post suggests that Benford's Law describes the distribution of the first digit of prime numbers. One of the comments asked an important question: is this really just an artifact of base 10? Math really doesn't "know anything" about bases, so if this idea doesn't generalize to bases other than 10, it doesn't mean much. Read more.

Dear Publisher,
With so many people predicting your imminent death, you're probably wishing the Grim Reaper would just stop by and get it over with. The good news is that when everyone in the technology business or the financial press is making the same prediction, it's wrong. Certainly you've made some bad decisions along the way, borrowing too much, buying that Taj Majal when maybe staying put was a smarter move. But just like that messy divorce, that's all "water under the bridge" as they say, so what do you do now? Read more.
