Difficult situations require compassion, level-headedness & the empathy to see issues from somebody else's perspective.

There was more data transmitted over the Internet in 2010 than the entire history of the Internet through 2009.

More and more, the things we do in real life will end up as Facebook posts. And while we may be consoled by the fact that most of this stuff is being posted just to our friends, it only takes one friend to share that information with his or her friends to start a viral chain.

I'm proud to call myself a Mashable alumnus.

Sharing with just your friends doesn't protect your privacy. I know the people at Facebook will disagree and argue that users can control what is shared with whom. But this is simply an illusion that makes us feel better about all the sharing we have done and are about to do.

Don't let failure deter you; use it as a stepping-stone and an educational experience towards making your mark on the world.

Attention is the most important currency that anybody can give you. It’s worth more than money, possession, or things.
