all things Web !
I, like many and many others, in these days have being receiving some emails from Google telling me that G+ is finally closing April 2nd.
So I begun the cleaning from my social profiles, exporting my contents from them (here) and generally thinking about what I am spreading all over the web.
And you?
But here’s the bizarre quirk of the Facebook dystopia, whose sheer perversity would have likely pleased Orwell: It’s all Big and no Brother. Our time and lives are the company’s only currency. Without our continued attention, Facebook quite literally has nothing, and its empire could be brought down with a feather. Now, blow.

A great quote, submitted to my attention by my friend Luca Conti.
According to research from the Chrome team at Google and others, people spend more time on mobile apps than they do on mobile websites. Apps account for up to 90% of time spent on a phone and 77% of the time on tablets. But app usage is heavily concentrated in a few favorite apps (eMarketer). More than 50% of consumer app time is taken by a Facebook or Alphabet app (Apptopia), and 90% is spent in a person’s five top apps.

Alternatively, time spent on the web is more evenly distributed across providers and publishers. In the browser, people visit new websites they find on Google, explore links from existing apps, and browse content without the barrier of app installation. As a result, it’s easier for an unknown startup to reach users for the first time with a web presence vs a native presence.
Emphasis is mine…
A simple and realistic hack list: Work hard. Be nicer to people than you need to be. Realize that luck is real and under-observed, so be careful treating actions as a direct cause of both success and failure.
