Ok. The reason I don't date dudes in tech is simple: 99.9% of the men need empathy classes. Concentrated empathy lessons. #fact

That must be be horrible. I feel your pain :-)
- Todd Hoff
Dislike and disagree with your %
- Benjamin Golub
I'd put the percentage at about 80%, for all men.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Stats are made up.
- Andrew David
Mona, do you ever get men who feel insecure because you're in tech and they're not? Or do things just never get off the ground with men like that anyway?
- Ruchira S. Datta
only 23% of the time Andrew
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Jeff is only 50% correct.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Jimminy's half right there.
- Akiva
Akiva, is about 75% right.

Empathy classes taught by whom?
- Micah
Blu T, more apropos is how Mona defines being "in tech".
- Ruchira S. Datta
I might define it more broadly than some others, e.g., I would think of a biologist as being in tech, someone else may not. I don't think biologists generally fit Mona's complaint.
- Ruchira S. Datta
It looks like Mona subscribes to Simon Baron-Cohen's (yes, Sacha's cousin) Empathizing-Systemizing theory.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Biologists know how to party. Also, their conferences include dancing. That's why I've moved into biology. :-)
- Ruchira S. Datta
Blu T: PR, no. Marketing, probably not, except the product managers at Google were definitely in tech and I think they might have had some involvement in marketing. Sysadmin, yes. Social media expert, depends--there are definitely different angles of approach. Analyst/researcher, yes. Patent attorney, yes.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Blu T: That's surprising. So a pure mathematician would not be "in tech"?
- Ruchira S. Datta
I think Mona may be lowballing that estimate a bit.
- Steven Perez
If you put any credence in Baron-Cohen's theory, then "tech" might be a job that requires Systemizing. Except, then is a historian in tech? What about a historian working on cliodynamics? A geographer? What about a phylogeographer?
- Ruchira S. Datta
Blu T, I suspect that even if in fact that is what the manager spends most of his time doing, if the engineers don't believe the manager is "in tech" he won't be able to manage well because the engineers will dis him--they will think he doesn't know what he's talking about.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Blu T, well, I would take the manager being "in tech" as the default, which I think is the most useful thing to do.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Blu T, any reason why, other than the delicious irony?
- Ruchira S. Datta
WHOA what happened -- just stepped away for mtg and being pulled into another one. Darn real-time ;) BRB
- Mona Nomura
Mona, Blu T is busy marrying you off to someone in tech. ;-)

I'm so sorry to hear Mona - I couldn't imagine what you're going through. Is there anything I can do to help? ;-) (Sorry, but I'm married)

You'd have to be pretty empathetic in order to convincingly fake empathy, though!

Sorry, us technically minded losers have a much harder time figuring out what other people are thinking
- LANjackal
Ah, but LANjackal -- empathy is not about what others are *thinking* so much as what others are *feeling*. I've met some techdudes who have trouble expressing feelings about things that don't (a) plug into the wall, or (b) come with a charger that plugs into the wall. ;-)

Dave Walker, schilke, Rakesh and 6 other people liked this
I don't want everything going to Twitter, rather I want the ability to send something to Twitter manually. Only a small number of my FF posts belong in my Twitter stream. I'd also like the ability to send someone else's posts to Twitter, a sort of approximation of "Like" applied to Twitter, from FF.
- Dave Winer
I think perhaps FF's destiny is to be an editorial system. Or is it a bookmark tool? I use it that way mostly because it has the ability to save a picture along with a text clip.
- Dave Winer
I do like the idea of sending stuff to Twitter manually.
- Chris Nixon
That is a really interesting idea, having FriendFeed with the ability to "retweet" something. You got my vote.
- Rob Diana
It gets even more interesting with an open architecture for pushing stuff to blogs, email, SMS, etc. Twitter isn't the only interesting destination.
- Dave Winer
I too would like to control what comments (and content) go to Twitter on a case by case basis. Friendfeed + Twitter = Future Merger partners. And soon imhuo (in my humble uninformed opinion).

Twitter --> FF makes sense, as FF is aggregating my activity. FF --> Twitter feels funny. RSS posts into Twitter feel similarly wrong. Don't like Twitter as newsfeed aggregator.
