About this episode

What started out as an experiment and a way to keep one's software skills tuned, has become quite a popular web site, at least measured by the 2,000+ Facebook likes. Its success has truly been a viral nature. Dear Young Me.com is an aggregation of advice people would give to younger version of themselves. Ranging from funny to poignant to strange, the advice is wide-ranging, but delivered in short Twitter-like messages. Regardless of whether the circumstances that led to the advice are 100% true, a social scientist would have a field day analyzing what it means. As interesting as the site is, where the site was created in another story. Leo Anderson resides in a rural part of Minnesota and, thanks to fiber-optic powered broadband (supplied by his employer, Paul Bunyan Communications), Anderson is able to do his work as effectively as being in Silicon Valley.
