A year ago or so, I was listening to an audiobook and thought I heard “where moss and rust consume”. I just found out it’s “where MOTH and rust consume”

Howard Lindzon got me thinking the other day when he posted
“I finally got a sales call from LinkedIn $LNKD. It only took 9 years. I guess the ‘funnel’ of web optimization and no human interaction is coming to an end for the big guys….The year 2012 will be about extending the web funnel through hard core human interaction – not just optimizing your website. That will involve persistence, even chasing.”

I imagine this applies not only to business, but also to my social and personal life as well. What do you think?
