No, it was a different one, discussed actual people who were in the news as being child prodigies, entered universities years early etc...but from what I remember their conclusion was the something like this, that those kids didn't learn to risk or learn to be creative, they were really just jumping through hoops.
This is not about dial-up or media. This is about ad tech. Aol is done a very nice job of acquiring sold assets in this space. I think this is a smart move.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for this exact thing. Go Map is ok, but PushPin really does have the "I'm here now and want to add the location easily" use case nailed.
Side note: This illustrates how crappy the App Store is for discovery. I've searched for all variations on "OSM editor" and never found this one.
I've been using it for a while and it handles most of the things I've tried to enter. The only thing I've not been able to add using Pushpin is the many bookmakers/betting shops I find in London. I'm going to email the developer later and ask him to add it.
I'd agree. On the ad exchange side, their customer support is the best in the industry. But then a lot of that DNA comes from DoubleClick where they have always needed to provide sales and support services to a wide variety of customers and partners.
That's not really what I meant. Ad agencies only do a very tiny part of what I call Marketing. If you think that's only it, you are reducing Marketing to a very small chunk of what it actually is.
Maybe. But I think the act of making it public is an important distinction. I don't post to my blog very often (and traffic is essential zero), but when I write I try to make it worth reading. I'm certain I would not take the same care with a diary entry that would never see the light of day.
playing to, and trying to please your audience is the kiss of death, if you write for yourself and forget how you might be seen by those reading you, your writing will improve.
I didn't read it as "playing to... your audience." When I write a public blog post, I put some thought into coherence, logical ordering, etc. and I (at least briefly) proof read the post for massive errors. I wouldn't do that for a diary entry, but it helps me clarify my thoughts.
That might apply if you choose topics purely to please your audience, but remembering that other people could be reading what I'm writing has definitely helped me improve over time. A post I write for myself will inevitably have no structure, coherence, or focus. Writing for others forces me to clarify my thoughts and ideas while viewing them from the perspective of a stranger, which is a skill that extends to all aspects of my life.
