When you start to think about it, Malcolm Gladwell - author of The Tipping Point and frequent contributor to high-brow magazines - and Chris Dixon - co-founder of Hunch and investor in Skype, Foursquare, Stack Overflow and others - have a fair amount in common. Like Gladwell, Dixon - as evidenced in his recent appearance on Ask A VC - is a master of giving long, thoughtful answers to straightforward questions. Like Gladwell, Dixon has turned his passions into a successful career and no small amount of wealth. And like Gladwell, Dixon has the bold-strokes look of someone who might play himself in a Judd Apatow movie. But there?s one area at least where, if their writing is to be believed, Gladwell and Dixon find themselves at polar odds: the value of Twitter in building relationships and changing the world.
