Like a lot of people today, I’m completely delighted by Maciej’s post “The Social Graph Is Neither” over on the Pinboard blog. (Pinboard, by the way, is one of Stikki’s big influences; if we’re the Arcade Fire, they’re that really crappy … Continue reading →

One of the things I want to play with is using Stikki as a repository for geolocative fiction. What does that mean? I don’t actually know. I’m thinking of fiction that’s inherently attached to a place; maybe it’s meant to … Continue reading →

As Stikki approaches public beta and we’re building out the sponsorship system, we’d like to reach out and ask you — if you were to decide to be a location sponsor with Stikki, what sort of metrics/feedback would you want … Continue reading →

Didn’t realize my friend Warren Ellis had tweeted it. So if you’re a Warren fan, hi there! And no, we’re not related, even though we have the same last name and are both grumpy profanity-spewing writers who occasionally wear ponytails, … Continue reading →
