Mahalo's business model is advertising. Yahoo, Google, Ask, AOL and MSN are all advertising-based. So I don't see anything wrong with advertising-based search.
I'm trying to correct what is wrong in journalism today: wasting users' time.
I think Google's a brilliant company, filled with brilliant people who have done brilliant things.
Just start thinking about all the different services in your life. Like getting your dry cleaning picked up and dropped off. Nobody has done the Uber of that yet. But that will be Uberfied. You will arrange your dry cleaning via your phone.
Jon Miller would be amazing for Yahoo because he is extremely good at building display advertising businesses and buying young startups.
I syndicate my Twitter activity to Facebook, but I get very little traffic from it.
I think it hurts blogs when they have to turn off their comments.
When it comes to individual bloggers, they have many choices now that include blogging for a network or going solo.

I am a huge fan of capitalism and a huge fan of entrepreneurship and changing the world with technology and with entrepreneurship. Capitalism is awesome. To me, capitalism is my religion.
The down market favours the small two-, three-, four-person company, not the huge company with 100 people losing half a million dollars a month.
