"As Foursquare powers Instagram and I'm sure that a LOT of people are geotagging their photos then they'll probably argue that there are more active users than actual accounts. If Facebook can argue that someone who clicks a like button but never visits the Facebook site is active and Google can argue that someone who uses a Plus enabled service without visiting the Plus homepage is active they why can't Foursquare. The location game has changed and they are probably better off pivoting." - Colin Walker

"Ismail, I was actually using the Espier launcher before switching ;) It's very much horses for courses. Personally, I had no real need for widgets - there was nothing that I desperately needed to see instantly. With regards to iOS inefficiency you can "hide" the stuff you don't use in folders on later pages and keep your most used apps on the first page or two. Also, if you fill your homescreens with widgets you end up having to dive in to the app drawer. It's personal preference, I just chose to document mine." - Colin Walker

"Jon, The one obvious thing that engaged users notice is that there is a massive gulf between the level of communication between Google as a company and individual Googlers. Google as a company seems incapable of really explaining the "What are we doing here's" whereas the individuals do a great job. Perhaps they've got the wrong people doing the PR." - Colin Walker

"RSS certainly isn't dead John, at least not for me. While I can follow links from G+ or Twitter being in the UK and suffering the curse of a different time zone I miss a lot of the good stuff. RSS is vital in keeping up with it." - Colin Walker
