Mary Cassatt, Nurse Reading to a Little Girl, 1895

Daily Thoughts 02/23/2013

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook accounts this morning.

I finished reading Building Social Web Applications by Gavin Bell.  The last part of the book is about launching the application.  Gavin Bell reminds the reader that more money should be set aside for the launch of an application than building the original application.  He also talks about how to respond to new feature requests by site users.  This is a very solid book if you want to understand how to both build and use social networks.

I am reading Steven Pinker How The Mind Works.  It is a mix of cognitive psychology and evolutionary psychology.
