One cements your spot as a “thought leader” (blue verified check, very visible follower/retweet/like count, routinely used as a source by the media), the other not at all.
- mrosett 8y agoI think PG has a solid enough "personal brand" that he doesn't need to build it through being a twitterati "thought leader."
- username223 8y agoPG is stuck in the awkward no-mans-land between having f-you money and starting a rocket company. He achieved the first long ago, and will never achieve the second, so being a Twitter guru is a reasonable compromise.
- 2arrs2ells 8y agoFrom what I know about pg and Jessica, they would have no interest in starting a rocket company - even if they had infinite resources. Figuring out how to get the smartest people in the world working on important problems (like rocket companies!) is way more their style. And they’re having incredible influence on that even in “retirement.”
- muzani 8y agoIronically, he cemented his spot as a thought leader by building HN. Even when he's not here, he still holds influence.
