character phones people
Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age. Its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience. People still need longer stuff, but they see the headline on Twitter or Facebook.
financial aspect
There's no financial aspect to stats.
technology opportunity gaps
Technology is closing the gap between what one can imagine and what one can do and as a result the equality of opportunity is unmatched in human history.
ifs
Get the 1.0 out as soon as possible...even if it sucks.
smart dumb designer
For me, it always comes back to the blogger, the author, the designer, the developer. You build software for that core individual person, and then smart organisations adopt it and dumb organisations die.
tragedy would-be horrible
As the web becomes more and more of a part of our every day lives, it would be a horrible tragedy if it was locked up inside of companies and proprietary software.
reading smartphones ipads
From the first time I held an iPhone, the space has evolved quickly, and people have shifted from reading content on their desktops to smartphones and iPads, even long-form stuff.
morning real book
I like to read first thing in the morning. I'm addicted to the Kindle. I read a lot of business books, because I feel like I should figure out how to be a real businessman before someone figures out that I'm not one. I really enjoy reading classics as well, which I try to work in once every two months.
want steering ifs
If I'm on the titanic I want to be steering.
appreciate entrepreneur
It's good to work for someone else. Because then you appreciate it more when you are an entrepreneur.
motivation impact
The biggest motivation is not the money but the impact.
thinking world wordpress
I am the unhappiest WordPress user in the world, I think it sucks.
entrepreneur decision important
As an entrepreneur making decisions for your company, always go back to your first principles of what's important to you and why you started in the first place.
writing opportunity thinking
Historically, WordPress has been purely focused on the writing side. However, were thinking about mobile completely differently, and I think theres a big opportunity to take the community of creators that loves WordPress and deliver an audience to the amazing things theyre making.
