Absolutely love this article. Let’s use the web to make the web.

I really hate seeing Buzzfeed succeed. They’re the evil geniuses that make everything work in the worst way.

But if you go on their homepage today, you will see probably the best attempt at integrating advertising with a model that works on the web. The “Efficiency Machine” allows you to filter Buzzfeed’s stories according to your preferences. The actual effectiveness of the filters is debatable, but it works in the same way that TV sponsorship for sports coverage works. 1 It gives the user something they want, and General Electric gets to put their face on it. Buzzfeed is getting paid to develop new features.

So Andrew Wiggins is amazing. Also, whoever put this video together did a phenomenal job of lining up the video with the music. Fun to watch.

From the guys behind Dark Sky, the weather game is over. Forecast has won. All other weather apps can go away now.

Sherpa is a new iOS app that looks to be the best personal assistant app out yet. None of the ones I’ve tried so far have been very useful, though I do use Cue right now. It’s nice when I remember to open it. Hopefully, Sherpa’s alert system can make the app useful without much concerted effort from the user. The design looks great.

I was never a huge Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, but this (slightly NSFW) video premiere today reminded me of how great their new single is.

Yet that’s the most common complaint I hear about inbox-style RSS readers such as Google Reader, NetNewsWire, and Reeder: that people gave up on them because they were constantly filled with more unread items than they could handle.

If you’ve had that problem, you weren’t using inbox-style RSS readers properly. Abandoning the entire idea of the RSS-inbox model because of inbox overload is like boycotting an all-you-can-eat buffet forever because you once ate too much there.
