Randi Zuckerberg, 2013
I’m reading Randi Zuckerberg’s book, Dot Complicated: Untangling Our Wired Lives. I got a copy at a pre-reading cocktail thingie for bloggers when she spoke at Barnes & Noble in The Grove in LA.
I liked her. She was eminently approachable and really, the whole event felt like we were all girlfriends together. To put it as our Jewish grandmothers might have said: What’s not to like?
Her book is eminently approachable as well. Dot Complicated lays out Zuckerberg’s personal experience, warts and all, with social media from the days even before she joined her brother (what was his name again?) at that new startup of his, Facebook. I’m still reading it….slowly and with post-its at hand because there are some parts that spoke directly to me.
Like the one above, which exactly describes my need to always find the fallow land to work, as opposed to tilling in the same fields with everyone else. The new project that Randi’s been shaping is Zuckerberg Media, which includes among other things an online community called, yes, Dot Complicated.
