If I owned a network, I would never let a guy just put people on without telling me who they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any time you build a network, you have to help users find their friends.
The nature of the internet is that you don't know who is behind the screen.
I was approached about having my own network many, many years ago. There were some people who wanted to start up a network, and I didn't want to get that involved in the business aspect of it.
People care about others in their immediate network.
I know it sounds hokey but I think, ultimately, on television you can't hide who you are.
Everybody is watching you every minute anyways. If they think the message you're sending out is phony, they're going to say, 'Who does he think he is?' It's again good business. But it is also an obligation.
It becomes dangerous for somebody who doesn't want their boss to know their sexual preference to use online networks to push for laws supporting gay marriage or same-sex partner rights if they can't do so with a pseudonym.
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.
You know, people aren't watching a network: they're watching cable channels.
