fuck branding people. add serious meaning to a really simple idea and you make a shit ton of money.
― jaxon, Wednesday, 13 February 2008 08:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Branding is important for a small struggling company that needs every edge it can get. The Google logo is anti-brand in exactly that sense: Our ideas are so good, we don't need a fancy-pants logo. However, Google is definitely brand-conscious at this stage. Note the disappearance of "Froogle", for instance. Pretty soon, YouTube will be Google YouTube and then Google Tube and then long after Google Video has been buried, just that.

Since Twitter corp seems pretty dedicated to shitty monetisation and is making a load of fuckups on the way I think it would make a softer target for Google right now. Especially since it's mostly public and users are happy to be public, which is what Google wants.
― stet, Sunday, 13 March 2011 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i think the thing w/any twitter killer - which is to say a sort of a la carte broadcast signal - is that it truly has to be a platform - like twitter and facebook sort of claim theyre platforms but they also want to be free to be apps when they want and squeeze out developers
def one of the scenarios in the future for twitter/facebook failure is that a lot of what they do gets taken over in a ho hum nbd way by an open standard and it just becomes like email or w/e and no one even really notices cause its such a mundane thing by then
thats kind of what dave winer is thinking abt http://scripting.com/stories/2011/01/03/rebootingRssRevisited.html
anyway as far as this im skeptical that google can succeed w/a copycat 'social network' - fb/twitter imo at this point are too big to be taken down by something that obviously looks like them - its the new idea that theyve got to worry abt
also i mean lol orkut and buzz - third times the charm right

The funny thing about the fb vs myspace scenario was that fb offered significantly less...formatted profiles, no area for "customization", everything condensed into menus. But it came at a point when myspace was at it's most excessive and obnoxious.. ppl seemed to welcome that, as well as the "maturity" that came with fb and all that bullshit...
imo the latest facebook profile revision (as of feb, when i deleted my account) was verging on eyesore, with those massive collages of "HERE ARE MY FAVORITE BANDS - ALL 744 OF THEM" . but fb's still managed to counter that w/ the drop-down.. and plus just the fact that it's a social staple. i don't think anything is capable of "killing" another platform instantaneously... if anything would overtake facebook, it would be progressively. fb was around for years in "coexistence" w/ myspace until kids started deciding they couldn't hear Fall Out Boy on auto-play for the 3248203 time.
― yeah (kelpolaris), Sunday, 13 March 2011 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess what i'm trying to say that if circles is to prove any sort of success, it can't just mime what facebook has and expect the google moniker to carry them into graceland. it should monopolize on something fb's doing wrong.. which, atm, i can't think of anything.
― yeah (kelpolaris), Sunday, 13 March 2011 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
It's awful at privacy scoping. People bascially have about five social circles -- family, work, close friends, acquaintances, public -- and Facebook flattens them all into one. If you try to hide stuff from certain people they'll get in yr grille about it, fam demanding to know why they're limited profile, work ppl making comments about nto seeing any pics. And because you can't go public in any controlled way at all, ppl use a whole diff service (Twitter) for that.
"Circles" sounds like they're going to make a stab at fixing that.
― stet, Sunday, 13 March 2011 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link

sort of love the google logos that are utterly illegible even though you know what they're supposed to say (hint: google)

I like the Scarry logo (we didn't get to see it in the UK).Also I like how the Les Paul logo can be played, either by strumming the strings with the mouse pointer, or by using the keyboard.

Interesting open tunings on the guitar!
But shouldn't a Les Paul tribute be an electric guitar? (sounds like an acoustic to me, but maybe it's just my crappy laptop speakers)
The keyboard mapping is a hoot - I'm trying to play stuff on it now; it actually works more like a piano keyboard.
― Lee626, Thursday, 9 June 2011 07:19 (twelve years ago) link
Sounds like an electric to me, like a twangy country style one.

I guess that's what an electric guitar built around a railroad log sound like, then....
― Lee626, Thursday, 9 June 2011 07:28 (twelve years ago) link
okay, i hadn't realized you could play this it! so awesome. sounds electric and twangy, but not at all distorted. like a clean les paul!

collisions evident, not sure calder would stand for that.
omg it rotates! :o
― Bloompsday (Trayce), Friday, 22 July 2011 09:18 (twelve years ago) link
not sure there are collisions - i think the way the wire is bent (and the way the virtual version is programmed) restricts the movements of each of the pivots so that the vanes can't collide. (grab the bog yellow thing and spin it - the big blue thing starts moving before collision can happen)
the lack of depth perception is confusing sometimes though.

I forwarded a letter to my senator about my opposition to the "Stop Online Piracy Act". I actually got an e-mail back (this stuff happened about a month ago). The letter back talked about why I shouldn't be concerned and how only foreign websites are going to be effected blah blah blah. Now I'm pissed off at my senator. Why couldn't he have just ignored my letter. I was also pissed off when I got a letter back in which my senator defended cuts to unemployment comp. I hate that he gets the last word

Functional pitch-bend wheel if you can get the mouse pointer there in time

you just gotta use yr keyboard for the keys, leaves your mouse free for the pitch bending and oscillators, etc.

Got it. You have to change the program at the bottom so that the 5 digit target in the top right matches the number on the main tape. There are 6 levels, each one corresponding to a letter in 'Google', which lights up when you've figured out the sequence for that letter.
