You know when I read David Heinemeier Hansson write that all he needs is 10 apps I believe we’ve all lost our minds . Then I look at Techmeme and see all the insider baseball and nothing about real users and I realize we have indeed lost our minds. See, people keep talking about a bubble. What they usually mean is “oh, my gosh Color got $41 million and LinkedIn stock is nuts.”

Catching Up: The Most Interesting Tech Stories of the Day (6/27) — SiliconFilter
Catching Up: The Most Interesting Tech Stories of the Day (6/27) We can only write so many stories here every day, but we read (or at least skim) through a few hundred throughout the course of any given day. Here is a selection of some of the most interesting and thought-provoking stories we saw today. As an experiment, we are using Pearltrees to curate these stories. Just click on a headline that looks interesting to you and an overlay with the article will appear. Use the arrow buttons at the top of the screen to navigate between stories.“The future is the web.” So goes the mantra that seems to be echoing throughout Google, Facebook, and plenty of smaller tech companies that view the web as the solution to sidestep the fragmentation created by native app platforms. And they’re almost certainly right. But the web still has a long way to go — it’s quite rare to come across web applications that feel anything like their desktop counterparts. Now San Diego-based startup OpenCandy thinks it has a solution: a new product called Pokki that bridges the gap between the browser and native applications. In other words, they’re offering web apps that are a lot more convenient than web apps.

Two years ago, a Stanford business school student named Tristan Walker sent Foursquare cofounders Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai an email out of the blue, asking for a job. Today, Tristan is Foursquare's director of business development. During his tenure, he's built partnerships between Foursquare and huge brands such as Bravo, MTV , CNN , New York Times , NBA and Starbucks . To celebrate the two year anniversary of the email, Tristan just published it on his personal blog, along with some notes: Today marks two years since i sent my very first email to dennis and naveen (wow i was such a nerd! ha). naveen sent a reminder to team foursquare today and i thought i’d share it on my blog.

Today, Facebook ammended its S-1 filing. What would have been a non-event turned out to be quite a series of revelations that are making the headlines and driving trending topics everywhere. Facebook is rapidly nearing the 1 billion user mark. In today's amended S-1, the social network revealed that its population of global denizens is now at 901 million. Per Facebook, "We have agreed to pay Instagram a $200 million termination fee if governmental authorities permanently enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the merger or if either party terminates the agreement after December 10, 2012." As good friend Josh Constine over at TechCrunch observed , "if Facebook maintains its current revenue rate, it would make $4.69 on each of its 901 million users each year."
