Don't try to solve the entire problem on day one.

Building product is not about having a large team to manage. It is about having a small team with the right people on it.

Blog-based businesses have lower cost structures and are more 'authentic,' and as a result are drawing larger shares of ad budgets.

Early in a startup, product decisions should be hunch driven. Later on, product decisions should be data driven.

If you have a native monetization system where the atomic unit of content is the ad unit, that scales down all the way to a small screen experience. That's why Twitter is performing so well on mobile.

Not only do you have to put yourself in harms way in service of your country, you have to leave your families at home. It is a great sacrifice.

I also like to use a sensational headline. Many people read blogs in aggregators, which generally show only the headline. So you have to give people a reason to click through. Blogs need to be real and personal. Reading it should be like hanging out with you. I play music for my readers. I show them videos I like. I tell them what I did over the weekend. And I tell them what is happening in the technology, Internet, and VC markets.
