The first step, and the thing that everyone has to do right on the Internet is make something people want.

Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar.

Even if you have no interest in starting a company, having the experience of having ideas and doing them, that's muscle to exercise because that's what people are going to want to see. That's what makes you different.

Net neutrality is one where we the people are definitely on the ropes.

The goal shouldn't be to be the next Silicon Valley (there'll always only be one of those) - it's to be your own startup community.

Facebook makes me hate the people I know, and Reddit makes me love the people I don't.

It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.
