   More coverage from 538: Perhaps the most intriguing result from this group is the poll from Google Consumer Surveys. (Yes, Google has begin to conduct surveys online.) That poll had Mr. Obama ahead by four percentage points, an improvement from a roughly 1-point deficit for Mr. Obama in their prior survey last week. The Google survey could be an indication that the effects of the hurricane will …

   Doing Cohort Analysis with Map Reduce Been doing some cohort analysis recently. I had heard the term but never got it until I read this post. Hooray for simple explanations. The other popular example I could find is a narrow use-case, made no sense, and didn't motivate me. The gist for the uninitiated: What you get from cohort analysis is a picture of how users/customers progress in your produc…

   Uncustomers unhappy for being unaware
   
   Our product has gotten quite a bit of press recently. I was especially proud of our contribution to the elections coverage; we've built something very powerful. As awareness has grown, my favorite part is how people get so mad they hadn't heard of us before. We must be doing something right?

    I dream of BBSes About 18 years ago I dialed in to my first BBS. I was an annoying kid with a modem and an extra phone line. The computer was a IIsi with RAM Doubler. The handshake was ZMODEM. The timing of my entry into this world quickly evolved into MUDs, FirstClass, and eventually Hotline. What was magical about these systems was the sense of community that it could create. You felt like yo…

    Side projects I've been hacking on a side project recently (no link intended). Side projects keep me happy and stave off burn-out. One of the goals of this particular project is to be reproducible on the server-side. That means you could rip all the guts out, reimplement the HTTP handlers in Go with websockets (or some other crazy shit), and it'd work great (with the same JS). It's open source t…

    What slow, incremental progress looks like.
    The most important thing is sticking with it over time.
    Many small changes lead to momentum.
