To try and fail is not laziness. bostonian 9:49:16, Fri Aug 3, 2012
“ Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems. ” —Linus Torvalds
Even the fall of a dancer is a somersault. · Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. · Offer special deals and real value to your followers but don't pitch. · Operators don't understand how the media world works and what it takes to make media content popular on handsets. · Gurus and the like, all of whom have shaped this book.
That which is escaped now, is pain to come Empower vertical weblogs
One who chases after two hares won't catch even one. · Pull, don't push: Get people's attention by providing value and earn their love by engaging with them. · I want my content when I want it [time-shifting] · Sure sounds a lot like Facebook will be more like a 'Public Utility' . · METAPHORS WE LIVE BY George Lakoff and Mark Johnson describe the phenomenon of Metaphors We Live By in their book of the same title.
“ Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons. ” —R. Buckminster Fuller
It would be easier to roll up the entire sky into a small cloth than it would be to obtain true happiness without knowing the self · In other words one man's spam is another man's art. · In this model, as a legitimate user, I would also get valuable context when I pay. · Yes, we can sue Napster, Kazaa or The PirateBay and we can whack ever more moles as we go along. · The relative importance of a node does not stem from its specific features but from its ability to contribute to the network�s goals.
In conclusion · Incentivize blogging platforms · Deploy killer weblogs · Matrix vertical e-business · and remember: He who laughs at himself can never run out of things to laugh at
