Someone you know, respect, and interact with every day is an introvert, and you are probably driving this person nuts. It pays to learn the warning signs. “It is very difficult for an extrovert to understand an introvert”. Extroverts are easy for introverts to understand, because extroverts spend so much of their time working out who they are in voluble, and frequently inescapable, interaction with other people. They are as inscrutable as puppy dogs. But the street does not run both ways. Extroverts have little or no grasp of introversion. They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion The worst of it is that extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98%-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves.

What Would Google Do?
while old-style data-rich companies use the data to send you junk mail, new-style ones use it to provide superior service. this is why we hate our banks and phone companies: what have they done for us lately?

Citizen Analysis
Publishing the city’s operational data directly to the web, for everyone to see and analyze, with the explicit goal of making the delivery of government services transparent and accountable, was and is an astonishingly bold move.

AppleGate
Ryan Block has formally responded to what is now being referred to as “AppleGate” in Silicon Valley. Yesterday Engadget posted that the iPhone was going to be delayed several months, relying on what turned out to be a bogus email for the story. $4B in market cap was wiped off of Apple’s stock price in 6 minutes as the “news” hit the market. Engadget quickly corrected the story and the stock recovered within 20 minutes, but many investors had lost a staggering amount of money in the amount of time it takes to brush your teeth.
the PR profession is dead. things are now moving too quickly for lazy 9-5ers to be useful.
Rare Risks Irrational Responses
I tell people that if it’s in the news, don’t worry about it. The very definition of “news” is “something that hardly ever happens.” It’s when something isn’t in the news, when it’s so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that you should start worrying.
