Friday Again at Last

An interview with the founder of Etsy. Like the site, find the guy to be an ass though. Not on Zuckerbergian levels but an ass none the less. We actually got some really nice stuff from Etsy.

A studio exec's point of view on the writers strike:



Apparently email is dying. With teenagers or something. They prefer IM. Or Twitter. Or something. I tried Twitter, I found it largely useless, although others like Dave Winer seem to find it useful. Email is not going to go away, no matter what the idiots at Slate.com say. IM, SMS and Twitter might be good for teenagers trying to plan their social life but will absolutely never work for professionals trying to run their businesses for a variety of reasons. There's a discussion board on this article but I got bored before I even started reading it.
