.@aral @Jn_Norris or rather this is about associations. IMO I don't necessarily associate "startup" w/ spyware biz models.
@digitalWestie @Jn_Norris You may not but that doesn’t stop it from being true :) Startup is a Silicon Valley brand.
@aral @digitalWestie Therein lies the problem I think. Huge # identify with "startup" now - you can't hijack it for your own campaign.
@aral @digitalWestie It's bigger than Silicon Valley now (Startup loans etc.) - you can't tar all new businesses with the same brush.
@simonv3 @Jn_Norris @aral to me that connotation isn't there. Yet what is there is encouragement of relinquishing control in name of growth.
@simonv3 @Jn_Norris as I see it, @aral's is targetting something larger than spyware business models: the culture that can give rise to it.
@aral @Jn_Norris I see this is somewhat down to definitions. Plenty of vc funded tech companies don't end up w/ selling user data biz model.
