"The teaching to children of how to apply rules of thumb may itself be a useful pedagogical exercise for our modern times, and perhaps is even a first order imperative; the kids would be better equipped to face a complex future than we turned out to be."

Brilliance!

Nice point!

I basically agree. Though with my 'trained skeptic' mind, I wonder if it isn't defensible.

When you have a job you take on responsibility set X for compensation package Y. Naturally, all else equal, you would prefer a job that equates set X with package 10*Y. Similarly, you may prefer a job with responsibility set X' and compensation package Y. So, when people say they wouldn't be standing here today, they may have in mind doing X' and making 10Y. The reason they don't just change jobs is that nobody is offering that!

BTW, good job at writing a provocative post :)

I heard a stat once that once an American goes to Europe the first time, there is a 70% chance he or she will return within 2 years. Maybe the blogs will be like that. Once you've done one, there's an increased chance you'll do another (or keep at it). I've done one blog post per week since 2005, and have no plans to stop.

Yeah, there's lots of talk about how the one thing missing from online shopping is the "social" experience. (Personally, I always shop alone, but I'm not representative of much :).

Sure, I'd say bricks and mortar are safe. The big winners are the b&m crowd with their online channels. I'm confident in the future more than 10% of clothes will be bought online (which is the figure today in the US).

Hi Meenu, She should have a look at ECCH. They're the world's largest business case library offering 58,000 cases from thousands of worldwide authors (incl. all the Harvard cases, all the LBS cases, and 1100 non-English cases)

FWIW, for a low hassle blog, I like Tumblr. It's clean but techies can dig in and fancy it up. For more of an enterprise class blog, I love Wordpress on ones own server (I started on MovableType but left when their terms became too restrictive. This was a huge mistake for them. They've opened up since, but have lost gazillions of users to WordPress).

I think it's awesome we get to have this discussion and learn the pros and cons through experience! Anyone can feel free to switch platforms, of course, they just need to let me know (and redirect their loyal readers)
