Robert Scoble delivers a short monologue arguing that living a public life on social platforms (Twitter, Facebook) improves everyday decisions and experiences by enabling crowdsourced advice. He gives anecdotal examples (e.g., asking where to eat sushi) and says he has had thousands of such improvements and will continue to adopt tools that expand this public interaction.

I live a public life. And I've found when you cross over to living a public life, like a public life in Twitter and Facebook, you start realizing that the crowd improves your life, whether you're at my level now or, like, you know, my son's level, and not many people know him. When you are able to ask a crowd, whether it's 10 people or a hundred thousand people, where should I eat sushi tonight? You're gonna get your life improved, because one of those people is gonna say, hey, I know a new restaurant that just opened up around the corner. It's really, really great. And that improves your life. And I've had thousands of those examples where my life has been improved by talking to the crowd and having the crowd talk back to me that I can't go back. And I'm gonna seek out any new tool that pushes that further.
