I had a manager once who said “Why does everyone keep telling me to read ‘The mythical man month’? I don’t have time to read books!”
So nine of us each grabbed a copy and started reading from different points simultaneously. Had it all read very quickly.
Fred Brooks, architect of the IBM/360 and its OS, author of The Mythical Man Month, and advocate for the 8-bit byte (enabling lower case letters!), passed away today.
Few in computing have influenced so many.
Cold calls are expensive. Legacy social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and instagram profit but have a very poor succesrate. It makes products more expensive than needed, as the price for advertising is build in.
It will be very attractive for sellers to know there is a genuine interest to buy.
Web advertisements are “cold calls”. A tremendous amount of webpage space and bandwidth is wasted pushing product propositions to people that are not interested to buy.
Can we turn that around?
What if could express our explicit intention to buy, and only then get offerings matching our interest?
Half of web users are running ad blockers.
With your support and help, we can get that number higher.
