Hi there at Path, please get more responsive and fix your issues with Facebook.
Path 2.0, the smart journal app for iOS and Android phones has been praised a lot after its first complete reincarnation in late November. I also agree with everything Erik says about the app over on TechCrunch, rewarding it with two "Flys" (watch the video for the complete review). With more than $11.0M in funding and a rejected $100+ Million acquisition offer from Google, the Path team must be pretty confident. One thing though bothers me: As a company, Path seems to be relatively … Read More
Finding a memory leak with Xcode 4 Instruments
Over at the fantastic Facebook iOS Developers group, we had a discussion yielding 40+ comments about a memory leak and how to detect it with Instruments. I've created a brief screen cast based on the discussion we were having. While it actually shows pretty basic Instruments stuff, I still find even experienced devs struggling with the details. Follow me on Twitter (@24z) for mostly iOS related tweets and if you're not yet a member, join the tribe on … Read More

How to not get fooled by a social media expert con artist
I live in Germany. We are not exactly known for being a social media friendly country. Some rightfully call us Blurmany, since our not-so-tech-savvy government forced Google into pixelating Street View images on home owners' requests. Also, we usually come a bit late to the Web 2.0 game, while letting Silicon Valley take the lead. Lately, I noticed a disturbing trend in the timelines of my various social media outlets: More and more German Social Media Experts pop up out of … Read More

How to find people on Google+: A brief update on Google+ Counter
It's only been some four weeks, since I started Google+ Counter. Initially, I just wanted to play with some advanced web technologies, sort of a proof-of-concept project.

Popular Google+ user lists on gpc.fm
A few days ago, I've launched the lists feature at Google+ Counter. Within the first week, users have created more than 1.200 lists – way more, than I ever expected in my wildest dreams. And the number keeps growing. So, what are Google+ Counter lists? In short, gpc.fm provides you with an easy and elegant way to create and maintain lists of interesting Google+ users. There currently is no method on Google+ to publish your Circles – they are always private. However, you might want to … »
A brief update on Google Plus Counter (gpc.fm)
When I started creating Google Plus Counter, I didn't expect it to become only half as popular as it already did. Here's a brief update on stuff that I'm currently working on: It's kind of strange to see many lists lead by Google+ members, who actually never said anything publicly. The most prominent example being Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO. The updated detail popover, the one which animates in when you hover over a profile, now shows a little "has no posts" text, lowering your … »

Is the Mac OS X Lion release actually older than the July 11 developer GM seed?
Today, Apple released the eagerly awaited major Mac OS X update, Mac OS X Lion. Members of the Mac Developer Program got access to a so called GM seed on July 11th. While Gold Master (GM) seeds are supposed to be exactly like their soon-to-follow market releases, this has not always been the … »
iPad 2, speedy and just beautiful in white!
In June 2009, over at TheNextWeb, I talked about how different the iPhone 3GS felt compared to its predecessor. The post was titled "It's all about Speed: My first weekend with the new iPhone 3GS". Yesterday, the second iteration of Apple's magic tablet launched in Germany and 24 additional … »
iOS 4.3 Personal Hotspot with T-Mobile Germany
When iOS 4.3 officially came out yesterday, my iPhone 4 told me, I should contact Telekom.de to enable the (long awaited) Personal Hotspot feature. Twitter and Facebook were full of German customers complaining that T-Mobile's Service Centers didn't have any up-to-date information on how to … »
