Money is information, like bits.

I'm really interested in the intersection between reputation, identity, and knowledge.

The companies that do the best job on managing a user's privacy will be the companies that ultimately are the most successful.

There are so many startups out there raising money. I don't think this is a bad thing. It's a good thing. Entrepreneurship is in vogue. Innovators are innovating. Makers are making.

Certainly anything that is news or opinion needs to be free on the Web, because the Web is this very fluid medium that is very much driven by links and the flow of visitors through a discussion via links.

If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
