Are everyone’s hateful words about Steve Jobs just a way for them to deal with his insane success?
No, I haven’t read Issaccson’ s book yet, and I am not sure I want to.
The center has nothing to do with geography any longer. The center is a state of mind.
Seth Godin nails it again.
Sometimes you gotta dream big and chase the dream. Sometimes you gotta dig deep and let small iteration speak to the progress of you work.
Latest episode on ‘Don’t Watch This’, brought to you by The Chifferobe.
Certainly many brands are guilty of deploying technology strategies without designing a holistic experience.
PandoDaily sends Trevor out of the Valley
Our intrepid reporter Trevor Gilbert is hitting the road to find great stories outside the echo chamber.
Sara Lacy on PandoDaily:
But just because I believe that innovation can come from anywhere, there seems to be an expectation from readers that I must believe the inverse: That innovation will necessarily come from everywhere. It won’t.
Great post all around – best one on PandoDaily yet?
Sara’s words are not defensive but an encouragement to get out there and ‘do it’. Be the next Silicon Valley. Don’t talk about it, but dig your heels in and word.
Marcus DeHart interviews Robert Humes on his podcast ‘You Can’t Judge a Book’.
‘The Small-Mart Revolution’ by Michael H Shuman is the topic. Good listen!
PandoDaily tries audio and fails – again. Their event last night turned out to be not properly audio equipped and their weekly video podcasts are almost impossible to watch.
Isn’t there anyone in San Francisco that could tell them how to get their audio sorted out?
Woah… is everyone paying attention? Kickstarter is funding projects in an amazing fashion. Yes, the projects are amazing, but the platform is proving to be an absolute fascinating tool to crowd-fund new ventures.
Watch out world, there is something incredible brewing.
I’d type some copy here, but the infographic’s text is not copyable, or searchable for that matter.
…
Thanks Dan for that reminder.
I am really linking to the comments here. Sure, read the article, but it’s the comments where it’s at:
Elijah Price:
I can’t believe all the back and forth on this innocuous thing. When most people say “remind me to do this or that again” it’s not an actual request but a statement of how much they enjoyed it.
You guys need to get layed.
Kyle Bragger from Forrst on Founders Talk this week. I wonder if he’ll speak German.
John Gruber and Dan Benjamin talk about the possible launch of Google’s new cloud storage service named ‘Drive’. It’s positioned in direct competition with Dropbox. Clearly the ‘me too’ mantra seems to not work in our current climate especially for Google. Google + failing already again and Pinterest, which brings something completely unique to the table running away crazy numbers.
How hard can it be to step away from the computer screen and envision the next thing and not end up with a ‘me too’? In Mountain View it seems impossible.
PS: On a side note, I wonder if Pinterest’s numbers will affect the Facebook IPO in any way.
Most interesting, it took off among non-techies first.
Amazing! Are you paying attention?
The app economy is coming. I talk about it on ‘Don’t Watch This’.
The music industry needs innovation. Services like iMatch, Spotify, Simfy, Deezer and others are bringing that innovation—it will take some time to learn which are the ones consumers want. But in the interim, seeing an additional $10,000+ appear out of the thin air for TuneCore Artists by people just listening to songs they already own is amazing!
On another note, the comments on the site are amazing!
Trixy is getting started with taking pictures in a light box. I tried to help.
like Walmart, says Bianca Bosker in the Huffington Post.
Zuckerberg created the Walmart of social networking sites — an enormous, organized, one-stop-sharing supersite of personal information and communication where we can share, every day, about everything.
I don’t disagree with that, but along the same lines, I think Facebook is like a strip mall in respects to how businesses are using the platform to advertise their services. Cheap, highly frequented, hard to brand and own and no retention value.
Yes, not the only one posting this today. Apple saved themselves a cool $3.5mio by not advertising during the Superbowl, but still got themselves all over the coverage:
Why?? Because Apple didn’t have to pay for advertising. Every NFL player did it FOR them at the end of the game.
The app economy includes the people who develop the applications, the people who help those people, and the support people behind it all.
That’s the new small business sector of America. Thousands of jobs, created in small businesses, incubators and individual owners. Reaching the world, while staying local. Brilliant!
