The process for finding, creating, and consuming information has fundamentally changed with the advent of the web and the rise of blogging.

The primary occupational hazard of blogging is this: it's easier when you yourself take on some of the traits of insanity. It's a job that requires the doer to be selfish, self-absorbed, and superficial.

Growth hackers are typically computer engineers that build great marketing ideas into the product during the development process.

As I discovered in my media manipulations, the information that finds us online - what spreads - is the worst kind. It raised itself above the din not through its value, importance, or accuracy but through the opposite: through slickness, titillation, and polarity.

Growth hacking isn't some proprietary technical process shrouded in secrecy. In fact, it has grown and developed in the course of very public conversations. There are no trade secrets to guard.

It's true that technology and the information age is sweeping the world. It has changed fundamentally some of the economies of the world.
