On: The Dangerous Effects of Reading

[commnderkeen08]

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Clay Johnson's new book, "The Information Diet." Pretty interesting read that goes with everything in this article. Side effect to overconsumption is increased personalization of information which makes us more ignornant to new/foreign ideas.

Also, I feel so ashamed listening to podcasts on my way to work now.

You probably wouldn't be creating anything on your commute. And podcasts aren't easily skimmed, they should give you enough headspace for reflection.

On: Dear MG Siegler, Are you seriously upset about you...

[commnderkeen08]

Not to mention MG Siegler's long history of calling out Google. Always skeptical.

But totally loving the elder statesman analogy. Best part about Tom"s reply is his own humility--Myspace having "decent" technology.

Not to mention MG Siegler's long history of self-promotion.

I have never seen any story like "ROBIN WAUTERS WONDERS WHY ROBIN WAUTERS ISN'T IN THE HEADLINES," like you see multiple times per week with MG...on HN. Is he the most gossipy person there, now? This is usually the kind of drama you see with Perez Hilton type personalities.

Well, we had those with Arrington, but fortunately he seems to have "vanished" from the HN mind...

That's a good point: MG might just be bored because he doesn't have enough interesting work to do, so he's going to stink up the place until people give him work/money/cocktail-weenies.
