Smart people don't think others are stupid, by Derek Sivers. A post that got me thinking, with a comment from Derek Halpern that stood out (excerpted below). Via @DuaneKinsey.
"When it comes to being smart, as Susan Cain pointed out in her book Quiet, people often view 'first talkers' as smarter than people who sit back and contemplate. She then went on to explain how Harvard trains people to take fast, decisive action, which supposedly puts introverts at a disadvantage.
"Is it 'right?'

"The key is to make sure you're not someone who's easily swayed by a first talker."

An insightful read about the state of journalism, by Stijn Debrouwere. Via Subtraction.
On referring to YouTube, Facebook, and a host of other companies mentioned in the article, Stijn said:
"It's not journalism. But you'd be naive if you thought their services aren't often consumed instead of news. It's the same kind of functionality in a different package, after all, and that new package happens to be rather attractive a lot of the time."
