Doc Searls' book, The Intention Economy spends a great deal of time covering all 5 shifts that Shapiro mentions. If you were interested in this article, you should definitely check out The Intention Economy.

And then somewhere in between are the partisans of "good enough" When I'm eating food I like to get as close to "The best" as I can reasonably afford (I'll spend $50 on a steak but I won't fly to Japan just to get some fresh Kobe). On most

I mostly agree with what you write. However, I have to say that, even 2 years ago, based on my somewhat limited knowledge of Zynga, I would have needed to be EXTREMELY desperate to an accept an offer from them. I left MS because I couldn'

Charging a little less than market value is definitely a winning strategy if you can afford it - a tenant who feels like they're getting a good deal is going to be a better tenant.

I would posit that the issue with the original post referenced by Diego is, in fact, that the conclusion he draws is poorly stated. Reading the full post by Jamie, it's clear that the title "34.5% of US Internet Population not using Facebo

The point that keeps being made. Here is that innovation != invention. Inventions tend to be innovative but innovation does not require the creation of new inventions. Otherwise one might argue that there does not exist an innovative chef

I suppose that wouldn't work at all if you need immediate updates of drone attacks (so that you can respond in some way?) I'm questioning the need for push notifications rather than trying to propose an exact equivalent.

A PhoneGap app is still going to need to go through the appstore. But, as others have suggested, tweets with a link to his hosted web app would be perfectly adequate.

If Begley can get himself unmarried from the need for push notifications, this could totally be a mobile web app running on any smart phone with a decent browser. And as someone else suggested, notifications could be tweets or emails. I'm

Agreed. I'd love to know how many different cycles the wikipedia article graph contains. If most articles lead to 1 out of 20 possible cycles, it's much less interesting than if it's 1 out of 5,000,000.

I concede that it may be censorship. So is Walmart's decision not to sell certain CDs or Blockbuster's decision not to stock certain movies. Android Marketplace (or Google Play) has more apps than the Apple App Store ( http://www.androida

Apple has never stated that the purpose of the appstore is to support democracy. And I think it would be hard to argue that the availability of apps (or lack thereof) in Apple's store, which is not even close to a monopoly, has any impact

Also relevant is the nature of the product being advertised - in this case, it was a specific event - not a call to visit a website or even to visit a store that holds regular business hours. Clearly, this was a very effective way of drawi

The idea of using grammar as a litmus test for all new hires is akin to saying that nothing is more important than natural language grammar. That could not be further from the truth. I've read plenty of extremely thoughtful, info-dense sp

Agreed. The "manufacturer" dimension given that 4 of the 7 OS's only have a single manufacture. Pull out the manufacturer data, size the blocks properly and you have a very informative chart.
