What value is this information to the "little guy"? If the only value is "that's interesting" then essentially nothing.

What value is this information to the "little guy"? If the only value is "that's interesting" then essentially nothing.
- jpcx01 17y agoInteresting = value
- quizbiz 17y agointeresting != value. Consider the most boring class you took and how you later discovered it was all applicable.
- jpcx01 17y agoI never said it works in reverse. not interesting != not valuable Hoever... something thats interesting is valuable. Always. If you can capture mindshare, you can convert it to dollars. Plain and simple
- ahoyhere 17y agoI'm not sure where you're coming from with the position that "interesting = value." Just look at the top stories on Reddit and Digg (or MSM, for that matter). What tweaks the interesting receptors is often formulaic, sensationalistic, base, pablum.
