Google leads the day again, this time with the announcement of offline maps and searching. Adam Bourg gives us an interesting look at scrum as a poor process and not truly agile. There are some good ideas and others that you may not agree with. Baremetrics has an excellent post on the potential perils of a freemium model, especially when you started with paying customers.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
