Tipping Point
Published by Yazad Jal January 3rd, 2005 in StimulantsI’m currently reading Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point and along comes a brief post on Marginal Revolution with a profile of Malcolm Gladwell. The book is on “social epidemics” and is fascinating read (await the review folks!)
great book.
if you cant get the book itself, you may want to read this
and also this and this
Its a nice book. Some day intend to buy it. And if I do, will read it too. Would not want to feel guilty buying it and not reading ;-)
It certainly is an interesting read. Can be extrapolated to other aspects that the book doesn’t mention. That, I feel makes it more interesting.
Ramnath, I would like to read this, this and this. Unfortunately, you haven’t left the relevant links behind ;-)
Yes Patrix. I’m already extrapolating the ideas to my own areas of work and interest!
Just saw this email from Ramnath
hi yazad,
the a href= tag doesnt seem to be working in the comments section of your blog. i posted one, but the links didnt turn up. these are the three links (in that order).
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
regards
ramnath
Ramnath, the href works. I converted your URLs into links — wonder why it did not work with you!
Yazad, second time it happened like that.
’second’ is linked to my blog, just to check…
You have to put it within quotes Ramnath. <A href =”http://ramz.blogspot.com”> Like this</A>
Or you could use the “link” you see above the comment box.
You’d think that putting a formatting toolbar for the HTML-challenged would suffice, but nooooo…
And you’d think that if that was too complicated, a mini HTML primer below the comment box would help, but nuh-uh!
What is a webmaster to do, I ask you!
What is a webmaster to do, I ask you!
blogger shows urls as links irrespective of whether you put them in quotes or dont. may be you can try something like that…
