You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch. If you want more recent writing of mine, most of that is at my BrXnd marketing x AI newsletter and Why Is This Interesting?, a daily email for the intellectually omnivorous.
"How I personally handle the glut, is that I just don't worry about it, you know?" Brier says over the phone from New York. "My approach to consuming online content has been to not worry about missing stuff. I trust the network."Not sure I deserve to be called a master at this, as there are many others I turn to on a daily basis to act as signals. But I guess that's true for everyone, we all have our sources and they have their sources. It's turtles all the way down.
"I think the most important thing [about information online] isn't any specific piece of content or information, but the architecture and networks, the idea that connections are where the real value is," Brier says. "It's connecting two things that don't necessarily go together or didn't seem like they went together. That's the lesson learned from the web."
