I hate this particular writer's little articles. I've read 4-5 of them and they're so full of buzzwords and an attempt to sound "hip" and "with it" in terms of technology that it's pathetic and sad.
He's as bad as those social media marketing people, those shameless self promoters who don't actually create anything, merely talk themselves up with canned expressions.
Some examples of his article titles:
* IdeaCast: the Zombieconomy
* The Finance 2.0 Manifesto
* Edgeconomy vs Twitter
* Investment 1.0 vs Capitalism 2.0
I can't even list anymore, this guy only recycles phrases imo.
- jgilliam 18y agoUmair Haque is actually quite brilliant, nothing at all like the stupid social media marketing people. His style kind of rubs people the wrong way, but there's a lot people can learn from him. I recommend this presentation he did a couple months ago: http://vimeo.com/3204792 http://vimeo.com/3204792
- omouse 18y agoUmair Haque is actually quite brilliant Could you defend that by pointing out some articles where he makes a clear point without resorting to buzzwords or the latest fad/trend? there's a lot people can learn from him Such as?
- jgilliam 18y agoWell, I recommended that video link, which is over an hour long. If you'd like to get into his older material, you can check out the couple of power point decks on the right side of this page: http://bubblegeneration.com/ http://bubblegeneration.com/
- gry 18y agoI could stomach buzzwords if loose ideas were argued. This is very Linda Richman. Topic and talk amongst yourselves. It's hard to discuss something when there is little to discuss other than nitpicking a broad idea. I get what he's suggesting, just wish he'd make more effort to defend the point.
- johnbender 18y agoI agree, what is this contributing to the discussion? In a world filled with people and their opinions, we need less fluff and more useful insight.
