What We’re Reading
We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
Dirt / Terry Nguyen / Nov 1
“Twitter is no town square. It’s more comparable to Times Square. Scrolling through the platform is the mental equivalent of people-watching on the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street. No sane person wants to spend meaningful time there, but they do anyway. It’s entertaining enough and there is always an interesting array of people walking around, loitering, shouting, fighting, or working. (Due to its proximity to The New York Times building, one can also expect many journalist sightings.)”
