Gotta love how he casually slips Tumblr and Instapaper in the list. Tumblr, I can understand, but Instapaper's influence outside of the technorati is highly overestimated by the technorati.
- smallegan 13y agoIs his blog read by anyone outside of the technorati? Seems like a relevant item to add to the list.
- runjake 13y agoHe slipped that in there, because the entirety of his audience are aware of what Tumblr and Instapaper are. You're being silly.
- w1ntermute 13y agoHe claims it's a list of "notable things". Instapaper does not fall into that category, no matter how you look at it.
- runjake 13y agoNotability is in the eye of the beholder. I look at them both as notable products. Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones are notable to a certain set of people. However, they are probably not notable to a large swath of South American tribespeople or even the 7+ billion people on Earth at large. This doesn't mean they aren't notable people in certain contexts. Now, once again, Marco is writing an article to his audience, and his audience is aware of Tumblr and Instapaper and they find those products notable. It's notable to his audience. Is this really that hard for you to figure out? Or do you have some personal anger/beef with Marco?
- spicyj 13y agoInstapaper is notable to Marco, which is why he counts it as notable on his personal blog.

- hkmurakami 13y agoHe also slips in Snakes on a Plane, so we should infer some jest.
