Uber - your new luxury car service app {Gadling}
Dec 19th 2011 8:45PM Uber has been running in San Francisco for over a year now, and is where this whole thing got started. Thought that should have been included somewhere in the article, but at minimum in your list of cities.
Photo of the day - Brazilian shopkeepers {Gadling}
Aug 19th 2011 12:55AM Ah, nevermind, I see that you're actually referring to the creative commons license (or lack thereof) on baby_mongster's photos, which is preventing you using it here.
And FWIW, thanks for being so consistent and adhering to that CC license. Lot of people don't these days.

Aug 19th 2011 12:40AM Hi Alex - just a quick comment, you don't have to (and shouldn't) download the photo. A simple in-line paste of html code (pointing back to the source photo) is enough. Flickr even provides the code for you.

Delta's checked baggage fee to go up: A flawed, unfair practice {Gadling}
Jul 23rd 2009 4:51PM Would it have been easier to swallow if they simply stated this?
"All checked baggage fees are now increasing by $5. However, you can save $5 by checking your bag at home."
Its all about headcount. By adding a $5 fee to checking your bag at the airport, consumers will start doing this at home rather than pay the charge. Consequently, Delta will be able to remove this from a general task of front-line ticket agents, which will in-turn allow them to have less headcount to staff an airport.

Visiting the End of the World {Gadling}
Jun 5th 2007 11:55AM So, let me get this straight.
You comment about the "draw of such a novelty," and then add the negative note that you will have to get there before "it is ruined."
You write about this wonderful place in your blog, and thousads of readers (most of whom are travelers!) will now want to visit this place. Yet you deride the effects of the tourism that you celebrate and effectively promote.
Which side are you on, exactly?
