Don't forget the open web
Yes, recycling other people’s recycling of other people’s recycling of cat gifs is fun and easy on Tumblr. Yes, rubbing out a good bon mot on Twitter can satisfy one’s ego and rekindle a wistful remembrance of meaning. Yes, these things are still fine to do. But they are not all we can do on this web.

Finding the right race
Being first is not the only way to win. The cost of crossing the finish line first sometimes outweighs the prize you get for winning. The second mouse to reach the trap gets the cheese and gets to search for more tomorrow. All but the slowest runner in the group escapes the bear.
Apple didn’t make the first computer, MP3 player, or Smartphone. Amazon didn’t invent the bookstore. They didn’t win by trying to finish first.

Why I bike to work
One of the reasons I bike to work is so I don’t have to use as much gas as the rest of the country.

The Rise of Twitter Bots
The New Yorker has an interesting look at the robotic side of Twitter and the challenges the service will face as it becomes a bigger business.
