Are You Social?
Do you eat alone often? Are you checking emails while eating? How often do you eat with loved ones?
Do you turn the phone off at meetings? Or are you clandestinely checking email while others are talking?
Do you tell people off because you are too busy with Twitter and Facebook?
When you walk down the street, are you taking the street in? Or are you glued instead to your small screen?
When you ride the subway, are you enjoying the crowd? Do you sometimes say hello to complete strangers?
How often do you actually hang out with friends in person? Or has Facebook made that less necessary?
How many friends do you have? People you really know, people you will go out with for a drink, perhaps a lunch? When was the last time you made a new friend?
Do you have non tech friends? Perhaps people who are not on Twitter.
Can you hold conversations? Or do you find yourself longing for your small screen two minutes into one?
Do you spend at least one day a week when you don't touch a device? No computer, no phone.
Do you exercise? Do you eat well? Do you sleep well?

Data Threesomes

Chris Dixon, in this post, is referring to mash ups, high level mash ups. He is talking of "data threesomes" and how that would lead to "a new wave of innovation."
Some people have commented saying it is already being done. If it is, it is not mainstream yet.
People have been building APIs upon APIs. There is much data sharing going on, but not entirely enough.
What really matters is the end product, that final interface that the end user interacts with. A simple interface sitting on top of rich data interactions is what you want to shoot for.
Chris Dixon: Web Services Should Be Both Federated And Extensible: The next step in this evolution is to create web services that are both federated (APIs) and extensible (Apps)..... The combination of Facebook’s data (social graph and check-ins) and SimpleGeo data/algorithms would create much more advanced feature possibilities than either service acting alone...... a “data threesome” ..... Allowing websites to be federated and extensible will open up a whole new wave of innovationTwo memes have been making the rounds: the web is dead, women in tech.
