When it comes to education, there is no one site you can point to that you can say, 'They speak to the world, and that is the site where you go to learn.'

As a publisher, you have no direct relationship with advertisers.

There's nobody who has as big of a real-time logistics network than Uber.

Supporting American technology companies is one of the most patriotic things you can do - the technology industry is the reason our country has such a high-standard of living and why we can afford to spread the democracy virus around the globe.

I find podcasting an enticing space.

I'm not an investor in Meerkat, sadly, or, Periscope - I missed both of those - however, I do have a lot of inside information.

I think it hurts blogs when they have to turn off their comments.

I learned from my past.

To get people to switch from Google, you have to offer something twice as better. But the truth is, the world doesn't actually need better-quality search. I think we've got good enough search.

If I said I was going to make a newsletter that made $2-$3 million a year, no one would question me. If I say, 'It's a blog,' everyone questions me.

You can't be ever embarrassed about hustling.

I don't want someone taking half a sentence or paraphrasing me... Just too much risk.

I syndicate my Twitter activity to Facebook, but I get very little traffic from it.

The only way to make podcasting a real big business would be if you could somehow get the top seven podcasters to team up and make a mega-network.

Fire fast: Fire people who do not fit into the culture of your company and who are negative.

Google indexes the world's information.

I don't need YouTube's money. I have my own money.

You have to have a big vision and take very small steps to get there. You have to be humble as you execute but visionary and gigantic in terms of your aspiration. In the Internet industry, it's not about grand innovation, it's about a lot of little innovations: every day, every week, every month, making something a little bit better.

Risk-taking is my thing... I think of my company as my chip stack.

Today you can start a blog, build an audience, and give the advertising slots to AdBrite or Google AdSense.

This concept that starting a company is so hard and that you'll never make it is conspiracy concocted by the rich and powerful to keep you from trying - and you've fallen for it.

When I was coming up as an entrepreneur, I had to fight for everything I got, and there was no clear roadmap of how to be successful.

Obviously, New York and Boston and Los Angeles have pretty vibrant entrepreneurial scenes.

After Sept. 11, New York wasn't the same, and that's part of the reason why I left.

I find very few folks are watching their Facebook feed, some are watching their Twitter feed, and all of them are watching their email box. So, while social networks are nice, email is still the killer application.
