What Hacker News says?
This is an interesting interview. I like the running back analogy at 21:00. Here's a link to Lindzon's blog post Fred was referring to: http://howardlindzon.com/breathing-drinking-twitter-poker-li... (Ignore the wheels off title, it's actually a good read esp. if you're a Twitter developer.)

HN discussionI found this particular article vague and lacking of any necessary supporting facts. I read through a few other posts by the author and found them along the same lines [1,2]. I see no reason to value anything written by Mr Lindzon on the serious subject of whether we are in a bubble. [1] http://howardlindzon.com/apple-and-bank-of-america-i-love-wh...
