Well, there are many, many people in the world with the power to link to the most amazing thing in the world with the effect of making it significantly more well-known. However, there are much less people with the power of creating the most amazing thing in the world.
So I'd say the former are much less productive than the latter if we define productivity as the propensity to create things of value.
- brandnewlow 18y agoBut how many Gizmodos and Buzzmachine's are there, sites that can send 1000's of early-adopter readers to your site, readers who blog, tweet and tell their friends about it? These sites are the distribution system for the internet. Google won't even send people to your site until others link to it. I'm not suggesting this item link to Gizmodo, just that it's a complicated matter.
- brandnewlow 18y agoShould say Buzzfeed, not Buzzmachine. Got Jarvis on the brain.
- Hexstream 18y agoIf you really create "the most amazing thing in the world" you'll necessarily get mentioned in places that matter if you give it some time. If the places that matter repeatedly fail to mention "the most amazing things in the world", they'll get taken over by competitors. As I see it, the most obviously amazing your thing is, the easier the word will spread for the same amount of effort.
