Hi, I’m Alex.

Here, you’ll find some random musings on products, media, entrepreneurship, academia, and life. If you’re new to this blog, these are among the more popular posts:

• If Twitter was your personal newspaper
• The unbundling of Craigslist and reddit
• The most important lesson I ever learned
• Are you a sucker? 8 secrets writers use to trick the smartest readers into reading their shittiest writing, backed by psychology and scienti-logical awesomeness.

I’m currently at Clinc, helping the team deliver the world’s most advanced AI platform for financial services.

In my spare time, I tinker on Venture News, a tech news product that surfaces trending links in the VC community.

You can also find me tweeting and retweeting @alexshye.

Thanks for reading!
