Editor's Notes
- #3 “The center has nothing to do with geography any longer. The center is a state of mind.”
- #4 Interest-based social networks have a markedly different focus and approach than Facebook. The Pinterest, Thumb and Foodspottings of the world enable users to focus and organize around their interests first, whereas Facebook focuses on a user’s personal relationships. Facebook offers us a social utility to deepen social connectivity with our existing social graphs, while these new interest-based social networks enable users to express their interests in new, engaging ways and offer authentic, high value connectivity with new people we don’t already know. The different approaches of these interest-based services are distinct from Facebook, and they are powering the massive growth and engagement we are seeing in these new services.
- #7 Let’s start with 3 questions:What are your expectations out of this?What keeps you up at nights?In the end, we’ll all be dead. What do you want to leave behind? What’s YOUR big picture?
- #8 CHANGE: like a bomb detonation…
