This is a really good article. I don’t trade - at all - but this made a lot of sense to me. Even if you’re not into trading it’s a good read to understand the different business models between each company. 

I totally disagree with this premise. If you have to micromanage then you have systemic problems in your organization. That’s not to say leaders shouldn’t be involved. In fact I think the best leaders do get heavily involved in the pieces of the business that matter the most. Steve Jobs was heavily involved in product design but only at certain points of the process. He didn’t micromanage the whole thing. 

It’s about knowing what the most important parts of your business are and making sure you’re there to direct the right course of action. 

Interesting breakdown. If I had bought $FB stock (which I didn’t but am thinking now would be a good time) I think I’d take option 3: sit on it and wait. 

I have three different, interchangeable plug cords for my work PC plugin. One for the UK, one for Europe and the original one for the US. This week I will be using all of them. 

I’m in Sacramento, California today. Tomorrow I fly to Marseilles, France. Thursday I go back to London and Friday I take a day trip to Brussels. 

Who said RSS is dead? Bloglovin seems to be a perfect solution for non-geeks. It’s an even more simplified RSS reader than my favorite service Feedly. But best of all is that it’s independent of Google (Feedly is really just built on top of Google Reader). 

Of course having the support and funding of Betaworks bodes well for the startup. Betaworks is investors in Bit.ly, TweetDeck (before they were purchased by Twitter) and a slew of other services. 

If like me you have friends and clients you’ve been trying to get to use an RSS reader, or maybe you yourself have yet to jump in, Bloglovin looks like it could be a good solution. 

Of all the apps on my phones - Android or Apple - the Facebook app is consistently the worst. It’s slow and painful. Turns out not only does Facebook not know how to make money on mobile, they don’t even know how to make a decent app.

And guess what? One significantly influences the other. If Facebook ever wants to monitize mobile, they  need to figure out how to make a decent app. 

The author suggests using m.facebook.com until the app get’s a major overhaul. 

It is my life’s goal to know and associate with people that make these kinds of lists. So I need you to step it up and help me make my dreams come true. I’ll be waiting over here. Let me know when you get there so I can ride your coattails.
