gary vaynerchuck's video blogs only get 70 viewers at most now.


twitter is only valuable to established celebrities and well known brands who have already built a strong brand presence through the traditional mediums.

For other people, the masses don't care.


you can be an entrepreneur and have a social life if you find an understanding girlfriend and not some paris hilton wannabe. I tend to find asian women more understanding about work life.


that depends on what kind of 'asian' they are.

I had a Taiwanese friend joking about this last week: He said a americanized asian girl will complain why you are not spending enough time and money with her. A fob-i chinese girl, even is she in maternity giving child birth will tell you: Oh... Don't woorry about the baby, just go to work and make sure you make the money/get promotion.... etc.

Sorry, don't downvote this, I know it is a crass overgeneralization but this is just a view of my chinese/taiwanese friend.

It seems that cultural upbringing has a huge role on how women see what the role of the man should be. And in some cultures, women demand less attention, which might make them a better fit for busy type of person.


I downvoted it. It is a crass overgeneralization, clearly based on stereotypes that have been reinforced by the narrow opinions of a couple of your friends.

I lived in Asia for more than six years. Speak Mandarin. Married locally. The idea that Asian women tend to "demand less attention," or what you refer to a "Fresh Off the Boat" Chinese girl giving birth will urge her mate to "don't wory about the baby" and "make sure you get the money" is absolute, utter B.S.


It has to do with where one is at in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs.


crickets


I hope this is true


This is a typical exapmle of market focus and niching based on focusing on core competency.


someone needs to bring the choose your own adventure genre back.


i don't think blogs are beating regular news outlets because of some sort of unbias reporting. If blogs had the reach and power as mainstream news outlets they would suffer from the bias problem as well.

The true reason why blogs are beating regualar newspapers is because newspapers are trying too hard to win pulitzer prizes. Blogs give the same information but in a more convienent fashion that allows you to get the main idea with good commentary in a quick fashion.

So I think it has more to do with form and structure of content.


Ikea is a great idea. Sell artistic looking pieces of furniture that cost crap to produce.

why buy a frank wright designed chair for thousands of dollars when you can buy a similar chair for a hundred and no one will even know.


This is a good aquisition. I think with EA's connections and knowledge with making games they can make a lot of branded games for a lot of businesses.
