🔗 Micro Monday is back (after a ’short’ pause.)
I guess in the overall scheme of the cosmos sure - ‘short’ works 😉
A great way of showcasing this little corner of the internet - still sitting in my Overcast feed - despite the passing of 4 years.
I knew it would comeback. One day.
It has.

Want to know what a company actually believes? Skip their core values page. Try to cancel something.
Apple likes to say that music is part of its DNA. I suggest they schedule some genetic counselling.
I agree, though I have never managed to articulate the prescription so succinctly.

🔗🕋 Structured Thought is catching on
This one from Evan Shapiro - who after producing 6 annual flat files of - well to be honest - interesting - but not very useful insights into the media landscape has just outdone himself.
Scott Brinker should do the same - similar idea in a different space - but 🔗 this one has been going now for 15 years!
‘Content’ is homogenous undifferentiated fodder that is poured into silos with pricing you would expect from any interchangeable commodity .. if that describes your writing, it might explain why nobody values it.

🔗 YouTube Moves to Ban Nerd Reich Podcast
That said - where could you go to build a video following not called YouTube?
Meanwhile, so far, 🔗 the channel remains

I just looked at: valid.rss.chat for john.philpin.com - and no dice …

“Lasting innovation is built on connections.”
So true … across;
industries ➕ sectors ➕ geographies ➕ disciplines

CONTINUOUS forms the fabric that will sustain our community
TOGETHER … not ‘and’ … ‘➕’
