Every couple of months I go to see a short little man who works at the Nordstrom’s in Charlotte to talk work clothes and usually buy a few shirts, a pair of pants or two and sometimes a pair of shoes. I know that Nordstrom’s is not the cheapest place...

The other day I wrote a post about how Steve Jobs made Apple a great company by slowly but surely helping people conquer their fears about technology. He made computers usable without knowing how to type on a command line with the mac, made the crazy complicated world of music...

I was scanning through my morning news and came across this interesting little prediction from Gartner (via RWW); Facebook and other social networks will begin to add banking and insurance services.

Fred Wilson noted a few days ago that there were 400M unique visitors to Twitter.com and only 100M people logged in. That implies that 25% of the people who visit Twitter.com don’t login. On top of that, there are about 40% of active users that do not tweet at all....
