Wednesday Links: February 13th, 2008

There haven’t been a lot of articles/posts lately that have really caught my interest. I read some pieces on the botched Microsoft buyout of Yahoo! that were good but I’ll spare you any links to those. I have my own thoughts on the matter that I can sum up with briefly: Yahoo totally blew it.

Moving on to the links:

Software Company for Sale at Free Nights and Weekends

Lee Falin is one of those independent Mac developers I’m always so interested in. Well, he’s actually looking to become a former independent Mac developer because he’s selling his company and his software. His post is a really nice look into the thought process of selling off your business.

The Economics of Online Backup at Inside Lightroom

This is a nice look at various online backup solutions available to everyone by James Duncan Davidson over at the Inside Lightroom blog. James focuses on the bandwidth and cost factors for a large photo library but I think his findings apply to anyone looking for a large scale backup solution.

Fox Releases Facebook for WordPress at Adii’s Blog

This is a rather innocent post where Adii helps promote a new WordPress theme built to look like Facebook. Normally that’s not really worth mentioning but the comments on this post are intense. Someone chastises the theme’s author for stealing intellectual property (which is an interesting argument) but their approach is a bit harsh.

  1. Thanks for the link! :) I agree that the comments about Fox’s design is a bit harsh… Sure he copied the Facebook design, but instead of FB losing anything, they will only gain some marketing value… :)

  2. I just think, more importantly, that Facebook has bigger fish to fry right now than a WordPress theme designer.

    On the other hand, I see people making rips of your themes all the time so from that perspective you have to see the guy’s point.
