david "shingy" shing is aol's digital prophet and he makes more money than you.

he was profiled in this week's new yorker, and i'd pull some choice quotes but gawker already did it for me:

the new yorker posted:

Next, Shingy stopped by the office of Erika Nardini, the chief marketing officer of AOL Advertising, and handed her an iPad Mini. "Wanted to show you a little brain fart I had on the plane," he said. It was a cartoon he had drawn of a bear wearing zebra-print pants and a shirt covered in ones and zeros.

"Love it, love it, love it," Nardini said. "I'm thinking of the bears more as a metaphor."

"A thousand per cent," Shingy said.

the new yorker posted:

He took an Uber car uptown to IPG Mediabrands, an advertising firm, where he was due to give a speech. "I think some folks from Applebee's are going to be in the house," he said. "I'm more of a caffeine-free, gluten-free, raw-food sort of guy, but I am able to find something to like in every brand once I hear their story."

the new yorker posted:

Everyone is talking about SoLoMo—social, local, mobile—but they should be talking about HoMo: home/mobile, cell phones used on the couch.

quotes from the new yorker article about him (new this week) in the gawker link:

the new yorker posted:

It was a cartoon he had drawn of a bear wearing zebra-print pants and a shirt covered in ones and zeros.

"Love it, love it, love it," Nardini said. "I'm thinking of the bears more as a metaphor."

"A thousand per cent," Shingy said.

the new yorker posted:

He took an Uber car uptown to IPG Mediabrands, an advertising firm, where he was due to give a speech. "I think some folks from Applebee's are going to be in the house," he said. "I'm more of a caffeine-free, gluten-free, raw-food sort of guy, but I am able to find something to like in every brand once I hear their story."
