Tyler’s litle preview of his new book Create Your Own Economy.  The points about the gains outside of monetary transactions are the most important.  I’ll add that the size of Twitter’s employee base he cites may be misleading.  Many of the essential tools to dashboard and filter twitter are engineered outside of the company.  They offer little more than a new type of social computing infrastructure.  While Ford installed dashboards on cars, Twitter “outsources” more or less the same thing.

Kottke on language and how it shapes your thought.  Of course he gets bombarded by opposition, but the post and argument are interesting.

Some commenters were confused about why Tyler loves Penelope Trunk’s blog, these posts on economizing your time might be why.  Don’t tell me you don’t have time to read them!
