Posterous

Paul Adams

I'm from Ireland and live in San Francisco. I find out what things people need and care about, and help other people design and build those things. I currently work at Facebook. I used to work at Google. The thoughts here are my own, not my employers :) Find out more at www.thinkoutsidein.com

Freewifiratecafe

This is a great solution to a tricky problem - getting people to rate things:
