i wonder how hello.com ended up in its current owner (the orkut guy).
it used to belong to the company that made picasa — google bought picasa.
then sometime between 2009 and 2016 after orkut (an edgy hobby social media made by a guy called orkut at google, which ended up becoming semi official) got shut down, hello.com became a landing page for a new social media platform made by the orkut guy. i wonder how the he managed to get hello.com at google, and how he managed to keep it (and orkut.com) after leaving.

what if each post opened in a modal popup thing like new.reddit.com but actually implemented well?
the issue with most modern video games is that they don't have any cute frogs. that isn't negotiable anymore
@messages having so many followers is so funny.
when there was no explore page, the broken link to the /messages page in the navbar was the only path on the website that reached a user’s profile without directly going to someone’s url. so it acted as a central hub of sorts until the explore page was made.
