I think it's a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.

There's plenty of rude stuff online. People say things online that they would be ashamed to say face to face. If people could treat others as though they were speaking face to face, that would be huge.

We've seen how grassroots journalism by blogs has had an impact at various points politically, as ordinary people have amplified stories that were being ignored by the traditional press.

Massive numbers of people are going to come online from cultures we don't normally interact with.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

I have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband.

There's a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.
