<p>Aside from describing Mr. Parker as "flighty, manic and unpredictable" and noting conflicting stories about Mr. Parker's departure from Plaxo, the article speaks in reverent tones about Mr. Parker's "drive to disrupt" and the difference between Aaron Sorkin's fictionalized version and Mr. Parker IRL. <!--more--></p>
<blockquote><p>Boiled down, Sean Parker is a human accelerant, an idea catalyst who, when combined with the right people, has fueled some of the most disruptive companies of the last two decades.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, Mr. Parker's<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Sean"> Facebook page</a>, where he shared the article, suggested that other insights might have been left on the cutting room floor:</p>
<blockquote><p>This is a better source article, please share this one! Overall, I'm generally happy with this piece. One can only keep up appearances for so long, and it took Steve, the reporter, quite a bit of time with me to capture all the insights in his article--so he probably saw a lot more of me that he was kind enough to exclude. Please share this far and wide!</p></blockquote>
<p>Hmm, wonder what we missed.</p>
