Mobile will probably disrupt much of what we know of web 2.0.

I just became one with my browser software.

One of the big changes at the heart of Web 2.0 is the shift from the creation of software artifacts, which is what the PC revolution was about, to the creation of software services. These are services that ultimately, if they are successful, will require competencies of operation, of scale, and the like.

All this stuff was done via FTP but the web has put a really nice user interface on it.

Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.

I know a lot of people love applications on their phone, but I'm like, 'Yeah, I understand the nice experience, but there's something about it that doesn't flow well.' Opening an app, closing it, moving to something else. There's something about the open web that's very free flowing.

Our role is to be a platform for making all of these apps more social, and it's kind of an extension of what we see happening on the web, with the exception of mobile, which I think will be even more important than the web in a few years - maybe even sooner.

One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control.

Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.

My favorite app is 'StumbleUpon,' because it just gives you interesting things that are sometimes exactly the stuff I'm interested in and sometimes just silly and funny.
