Dhanji R. Prasanna, former Google+ engineer:

Now, I’m not saying that Circles is the one killer feature to bring down facebook — not at all. What I am saying, however, is that [Google+ and facebook] are not playing on an even field.

It is for this reason I feel that Google+ has a genuine shot at dethroning facebook.

Read the full article for an interesting look at the development of the Circles concept and Facebook’s “unwillingness” (Dhanji’s words) to change substantially enough to combat it.

Everyone loves the Google CDN right? Even Microsoft runs their own CDN. The problem is, they only host the most popular libraries. We host the other stuff.

cdn js is a relatively new, free JavaScript CDN based on Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route53. Can’t find a CDN for an open source JavaScript library you’re using? Just upload it to cdn js and your problem’s solved.

I would love to see all of the major JavaScript CDN players join forces so that everyone could benefit from cached libraries and faster load times.
