Off-Topic: Win an AIG Maraca
Last night, I was on the floor playing with my toddler and I noticed that he was shaking a maraca — so we had a daddy/baby jam session, with me tapping on the carpet and with him shaking the maraca. Then, I noticed what the maraca said: “AIG – Sun America”.
I thought, “hey, maybe my baby boy won’t mind if I take this maraca and raffle this thing off on shmula.com” — today is your lucky day!

My Experience with Twitter, Part 4
A few weeks ago, I posted on my experience with Twitter, Part 1. That post was retweeted by Robert Scoble, the traffic came, got a bunch of new followers on Twitter (welcome folks), and a flurry of passionate comments on the post, including 3 comments from Guy Kawasaki.
Then, I posted on My Experience with Twitter, Part 2, followed by My Experience with Twitter, Part 3, where I offended @darthvader.

How To Be A Human
I had an experience recently where I spoke with a group of friends and acquaintances about the economy and the existential despair that is all around us. Then, a friend said something that shocked me:
. . . it’s terrible that (company x) went through such a huge delayering

Today, I’ll post my experience with Twitter, Part 2 and here are Part 3 and Part 4.

My Experience with Twitter, Part 1
I’ve been on Twitter for 44 days now. In sum, I love Twitter: I find it to be a very helpful utility for both consuming information as well as for contributing to a conversation. But, I have some other observations too that I’d like to share in a series of posts. This is Part 1 of my observations on Twitter, and here are Part 2 and Part 3 and Part 4.

Twitter as Combinatorics
ver since I discovered Twitter, I’ve been amazed at @ev, @biz, and @jack’s idea of simplicity and usefulness. Lately, @windley (Phil Windley’s article), @monkchips, and JP have approached Twitter from a more theoretical perspective. This article is my contribution to that healthy conversation (this blog post will be followed by a short tweet, of course).

How Twitter Solves Voter and Other Types of Information Asymetry
while ago, I wrote a post on how Digg is characterized by the principles of Game Theory. As it turns out, that post was Dugg to the front page of Digg and almost fried my server. Today, I want to briefly discuss something along the same lines of Behavioral Economics — how Twitter solves the problem of Information Asymetry.
