Interesting Things on the Internet: January 12th 2015
- Why This Shepherd Loves Twitter. Connecting interesting people and their experiences to the rest of us. What has always been a great thing that "social media" can do.
- On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs. "what does it say about our society that it seems to generate an extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians, but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law?"
- We need more rubbish on the internet. A great riposte to the "I don't know why people share what they had for breakfast online" crowd.
- What I Learned about Strangers from Jane Jacobs on my Winter Vacation. I like the idea of designing for strangers. "Is it really necessary for visitors to share their life stories with each other? Is it OK for them to just share a pair of scissors?"
- The Life Behind the Lifestyle Blog. Frank and interesting interview with Ben Hammersley about his life and finances.
