SMS and IM Deserve More Attention

I realized recently that if I did work, I would not use email. I talk to my friends via SMS, IM, and Facebook, in order of frequency.

Feedback loops of creativity, new models of organizing without strict organization, open source / community generated disruptive change—this talk makes me think of Betaworks.

Followup topics I’m going to think on:

When do feedback loops become counterproductive? Do we use data or intuition to respond to feedback loops?

I’m reminded of this talk http://bit.ly/HjN4L about using data to define query, asking the data what is the correct question to ask. Sometimes the data contains both the question and the answer.
