People think of us as an information distributor because that's how they relate to the Internet. But most of the time people already have pretty well established opinions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No matter what it is, if you get 10 people in the business talking about something, you get 10 different opinions, but you know, they're amazingly well informed.
Everybody's entitled to their opinions, but I don't understand why we have to saturate social media with all the negative stuff.
The Internet is a bastion of negativity, and we get to sit there and voice our cute, little, important opinions.

Back, you know, a few generations ago, people didn't have a way to share information and express their opinions efficiently to a lot of people. But now they do. Right now, with social networks and other tools on the Internet, all of these 500 million people have a way to say what they're thinking and have their voice be heard.

I don't think many people anticipated how the Internet was going to revolutionize the way we disseminate information.
I think the Internet's been a tremendous tool in terms of breaking down the power structure of information and entertainment, particularly at a time when so much information and entertainment were in the hands of so few people, with multinationals owning everything.
You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us.
