When I first look at Pulse, I immediately think of Netvibes.

Pulse is buzzier than Netvibes was. Can it be mobile is a more suitable environment for such content arrangement?

A comment on criticism by Carly Fiorina and Gordon Bethune.

The biggest challenge to Facebook right now is going mobile.

Effectively, Facebook is still in product development phase. It needs a war-time leader, a geek not a slick businessman.

The mobile app, mobile ecosystem industry is still growing without an emergence of a dominant giant. How many business CEO are there who are experienced to run a mobile company?

Mark would do well to take the advice of people who have done it before…
