creating tricks findings
The trick isn't so much creating the right thing; the trick is finding the right networks.

I did parallel entrepreneurship, which was very hard to do. It was hard to keep your head straight and know which ideas were with which company.
religion spread
Mormons know that it's not enough to practise your religion - you also have to spread your religion.

One of the things that is counterintuitive about BuzzFeed is that there's not a natural corollary to what we're doing because it isn't possible to distribute content through word-of-mouth in print.

People go to the front page of BuzzFeed partly because they've seen a bunch of things in their stream, and they're like, 'Oh, I like this site. Why don't I go to the source?' I think that happens. But also people are going to look for something to share.

Did you know that the Stegosaurus lived further away from the Tyrannosaurus Rex than we are from the Tyrannosaurus Rex in time?
cat people emotion
People say the Internet's made of cats. The reason isn't because of cats; it's because people like to have an emotion where they say 'aww' all at the same time.
people way good-business
Facebook will figure out ways to allow people to have good businesses.
