About.

Hello internet strangers and friends! Welcome to my blog. Here are some fun facts:

Name: Amanda Peyton

Location: NYC

Homepage: http://amandapeyton.com/

What is this blog?

This blog is for generally longer-form thought pieces on topics I love: startups, New York City, location-based services, the social web, urban interaction, the intersection of media and technology, mobile computing, strangers in cities, China, adventures, and other random stuff.

Who are you?

I’m a technology entrepreneur living in New York City.

I am an alum of Northwestern, MIT and Y Combinator.

My favorite site on the internet is archive.org.

I was on The Daily Show once and said “asshole” on national television. My parents are so proud.

Blogs are so old school. Are there other places on the internet where I can find you?

You can navigate through all of my various profiles from my homepage, amanda peyton dot com.

I am too lazy to read all your posts – can you point me to the best ones?

I would consider these three picks my best writing, though some are from my other blog Save Me From B-School. Right now (Dec. 2012) my three best posts are:

1.  ”Gaming bit.ly: A New Kind of Domain Speculation” from July 2009.

2.  ”On Determination: Black Swan vs. The Social Network” from December 2010.

3.  ”Pain. Or, Why Learning to Code is like Learning Chinese” from February 2010.

How can I contact you?
