Let me get this straight: You took all the money you made franchising your name and bet it *against* the Harlem Globetrotters?
OK, we actually like Nicholas Carr. He is a smart guy, a gentleman and his blog is a must read for thoughtful debate about technology and business models. We just don’t always agree with him.
Carr has built up a nice business for himself as the hero of those who think that technology is mostly hype. He’s making a splash on the speaking circuit and has a new book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google to follow Does IT Matter?
The latest honour that Carr has received is an invitation to join the Editorial Board of Advisors of Encyclopædia Britannica. Methinks that this has something to do with his attitudes towards Wikipedia, reflected here, here, and here. With tongues firmly in cheek, we suggest some other extracurricular activities for Mr. Carr:
- director of player development, Washington Generals
- marketing analyst zip drive division, Iomega
- party whip, International Brotherhood of Elevator Operators
