One of my earliest bits of Internet writing, and one that got a huge reaction was Platform is Chinese Household, October 1994. This morning in the midst of explaining the michegas with OAuth politics, I came up with a 138-character version of the Chinese Household piece. http://twitter.com/davewiner/status/7298593494 "It's all sexual. Developers are the homemakers, platform vendors the alpha males. Homemakers decide who gets to reproduce. Sorry guys. " Another one, why reporters generally get the quote wrong. "problem is reporters quote their understanding of what you said not what you said. and they didn't understand what you said." |
