Whiskey Bar 01/27/2004 05:18 PM

I started reading Billmon's Whiskey Bar recently.  Billmon, one of the anonymous bloggers at Davos, is an excellent writer and quite a thinker to boot.  Here is a paragraph from his recent post about blogosphere that jumped out at me:

I guess the metaphor I would use in place of Ito's amplifier would be earthquakes -- which occur by the thousands all over the world every day. Most go unnoticed, unless they happen to hit a densely populated area, in which case they become news. If a really big one hits a remote area, it might become news, if word eventually gets back to the metropolis. But it's less likely to become a big story.

His remarkable analogy stuck in my mind like a gum would to my shoes.  BTW, I don't know who Billmon is but, if he can afford to attend the Davos event, his whiskey bar must be doing pretty well because I read somewhere that attending the Davos event costs around $10K.  Ouch.

Whiskey-Bar Economics

Whiskey-Bar Economics 06/05/2004 09:30 PM
One of the better online writers on the liberal/moderate side of the spectrum is “Billmon” at Whiskey Bar. He’s got a huge, informative, statistics-laced piece on the general state of the U.S. economy, worth a read by anyone who cares even a little bit. As an added bonus, in the comments someone has posted a pointer to this, which (if even moderately accurate) is pretty astounding.
