This is true for every aspect of business and life -- not just startups.   Where is your purpose? Your center? What is your mission? And what are you doing (as an individual and as an organization) to make it reality?

Your prediction about Foursquare is definitely becoming a reality with the benefit of 18 months hindsight.  I just came across this post as the supporting research for your SXSW panel, really interesting analysis and I agree with everything.

]]> Comment on Deconstructing The Economist by Adam Erlebacher http://erlebacher.org/2010/08/17/deconstructing-the-economist/comment-page-1/#comment-69 Adam Erlebacher Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:11:00 +0000 http://erlebacher.org/?p=167#comment-69 Thanks for sharing the article – I hadn't read it. Some of the things the Times wrote make sense, but the real reason for The Economist's success is basic economics. Two reasons: globalization (increased demand) and the scarcity of quality international news & analysis (limited supply). To do their jobs well today, more people need to know what is happening globally vs. 30 years ago and there just aren't many places to get thoughtful, deep coverage of this stuff.
