Could ‘Watched On’ Facebook News Feed Stories Save Netflix?

After a disastrous Q3 2011 , Netflix stands to replace some of the 800,000 subscribers it lost. It’s savior? The Facebook news feed. Earlier this month, the House of Representatives passed a revised bill to change the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 to allow people to opt in to having their movie rental activity shared. This Act had delayed the Netflix Facebook app ‘s launch in the US. Now the Facebook news feed is beginning to show “Josh Constine watched The Walking Dead on Netflix” stories that point back to the Netflix site. After being enticed by something a friend has watched, Facebook users might sign up and pay on Netflix.com so they can watch too. So far we’ve only spotted these stories coming from Facebook employee profiles.

Apple’s Museum That Never Was: Why Does Stanford Keep it Secret? [VIDEO]

Where does the world’s largest collection of Apple -related history live? In a fascinating archive owned and operated by Stanford University . But good luck actually finding the trove of hardware, software, recorded interviews, revealing documents, candid photos and internal videos. Everything is stored in a secret Bay Area location away from the Stanford campus. Unceremoniously housed in boxes that occupy some 600 feet of shelving in a climate-controlled warehouse, the archive contains gems such as handwritten early sales records of the Apple II, a $5,000 loan agreement that helped the fledgling company get off the ground, and a 1976 letter in which a printer warns a friend about a young “joker” named Steve Jobs . Mashable has reached out to Stanford for more information on why this bonanza of Apple-geek gold hasn’t been made more available for public viewing, but so far has not heard back from university representatives. The storage warehouse’s undisclosed location is understandable, as it’s easy to imagine obsessed fans trying to break in for peaks — or pieces — of their own. But the lack of any public viewing seems unusual. As a private university with an endowment of more than $16 billion, dearth of funding isn’t a plausible reason.

ShoeMoney Best Ideas of 2011

Every year I try to write a post where I try to narrow down the top 10 ideas that I had for this year.   It seems I come up with something about every week and as I look in my Google Docs under the label “Ideas” there is currently over 120 for 2011. People seem to find value in these so I am happy to share them.  They are just things I came up with that I think would work very well but, following one of the main rules of Shoeintology  (focusing on the profitable projects) they have been pushed into the “maybe some day” category of ideas.  Dream Helmet This one I think would absolutely crush it and was at the top of my list.  I did not pursue it cause I have no idea how to manufacture it.  But I know how to sell it! Basically you would create a very comfortable helmet or something that would go over your ears that would be able to sense when you have reached rem sleep. Once you are at this stage it would use pre recorded, subtle audio that would make you dream about whatever you want.

What do you do after your site grows to 800 million users and expands to 1 trillion pageviews per month ? Why, plan a $100 billion IPO, of course! Going public is clearly the biggest thing on tap for Facebook in 2012, but the world’s most populated social network and its users have a lot to look forward to over the coming year. From the maturation of Mark Zuckerberg as a leader to Facebook’s growth as a media platform to a looming collision with the world’s biggest tech companies, 2012 is poised to be one of the most important years in the company’s short history. Read on for our predictions for Facebook’s upcoming year, and be sure to add your ideas in the comments. The IPO It’s safe to say that Facebook’s long-rumored IPO will be the biggest public offering of 2012. It could also potentially be the biggest of the current decade, if rumors of a reported $100 billion valuation and $10 billion raise are accurate. That would put Facebook in the top-three American IPOs for highest amounts raised
