Facebook released Timeline so people want to publicize more of their life. More data = more advertising. I think business people use simple equations to justify their decisions.

Schleps is an indicator our work goes towards success. It has to be hard. Notice this can equally lead the entrepreneur to nowhere. It is the role of the entrepreneur to understand if this the right schleps.

It took him some time to come up with the right response and you could feel he was "computing" the right answer in his head. When he finally found it, it just felt a very natural conclusion. Paul defused the race bomb question with great ca

I don't understand why copyright exists. Are there studies showing that copyright brought an increase in creativity or art excellence?

I contacted a journalist through her Facebook account and today just heard from her thanks to the Slate article. She was sorry she did not see my important email.

I found a way to reduce procrastination, while enjoying some of it. I alternate a procrastinate day with days of non-procrastination. For one day, I am allowed to watch as many movies as I want, play chess, do whatever useless and enjoyable

Rand, why did you choose to use the Hubspot term Inbound Marketing ? Inbound Marketing is more often used as a replacement for Market Research . Your definition really means Permission Marketing . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbound

Back when I was doing SEO, Rand Fishkin was my hero. You could not find a more humble person, while delivering tremendous value in the white-hat community. I am glad he still speaks and educates as much as he can.

The choice is hardly one after 10,000 hours. Video games are addictive and satisfy short-term pleasure. My guess is that becoming awesome is sometimes just a matter of "addictiveness".

It looks like a decentralized movement where willing professors (starting with DB, ML and AI) came up with one platform and different sites and encouraged others to do the same. I am sure at some point they will merge all of them.

One of the great hidden benefits of those classes is to taste the flavor of the classes, should they want to apply to the university. I would particularly interested in the difference between Berkeley classes (SaaS) and Stanford classes (CS

If you don't need concurrent learning to be motivated you can watch videos later. I wish there would be a way to be evaluated without any after-deadline penalty.

One of my alarms is looking at my long-term objectives and see if my work made me move in the right direction. I have my objectives written down in a prominent place, so I can make sure I stay focused.

I always remember Jeff Bezos' 3 lessons: obsess over customers, invent, think long term. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxX_Q5CnaA I love the way he unfolds his ideas simply and disrupts markets, one at a time.

I think their reasoning is they want people to commit to a full year rather than one month. I agree it's not a good way, really. They should start with $15/month and suggest $795 yearly for discount.

Why do the founders want to cash out? It looks to me you can increase your salary to live a good life, while waiting for the big exit. I understood Groupon did this because they thought Groupon was at its peak. Is that the same thing for Ai

And a consequence of that is my "Facebook stress" everytime I allow an app to publish on my wall. I don't want them to, and I am forced to accept because otherwise I could not get access to the app. I have to check my Fb profile that noth
