In the world of ideas, to name something is to own it. If you can name an issue, you can own the issue.
You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

The next step would be to not just find an issue, but to own it as well.

on 14 Oct 08I think this is why I loved the TV show, “The Pickup Artist,” so much. It’s interesting how Mystery has managed to create a vocabulary around social interactions (I think there’s more history behind it – not sure who really coined all of the terms). Doing so allows communities to form around interests – using the terms that YOU coined.
