Toys For The Rich To Cultivate Product Popularity
ChipGuy writes "Newsweek is reporting on a new elitist club called the Silicon Valley 100, an exclusive group of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs like Marc Andressen, Esther Dyson, Chris Shipley, and Ross Mayfield. The Schwag Set will get a lot of free stuff which they will either recommend or not, to unsuspecting masses. Dan Gillmor thinks 'it is oddly creepy', and urges people on this list to 'bow out of this exercise entirely.' Om Malik says it ironic that 'the first product being offered is a shitter! What Crap!'"
Sorry, slashdot community :(
This is why the Segway is so popular....
but do most of them contain grammer this horrific?
Not as bad as the average slashdot post.
wake up dudes, the world works in a hierarchical fashion not because it can but because in fact this works well. Look at how scientific research works. Sure there might be lots of little folks that could be great seniour researchers if only they could get funded. But it costs too much to identify these folks. Its better in general to go with a trusted senoir researcher than require omniscience on the part of funding agencies.
that was the long recognized flaw of the command economy in russia. it could not effectively gather the information that a market economy could
thus elitism as a filter to diseminate useful information about a limited availability product in an optimal fashion is not a bad idea.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Ya know, I took one look at that petite little "wand", *sigh*. I was wondering, do they have an industrial version designed to handle a jalepeno anchovy pizza, chilli, hot-wings, and beer evening programming session?
Cause, um, yeah, I'm sticking with the scott tissue for now, it may be a bit unrefined, but it, um, gets it all.
