“If people are passionate about your product, whether it’s because they’re hating or loving it, those are both good scenarios.”

Creativity is an infinitely renewable resource – you are not going to run out of it – so don’t be afraid to use it.

In order to succeed spectacularly you have to be willing to fail spectacularly.

Positive culture comes from being mindful, and respecting your coworkers, and being empathetic.

You curate information that you want to receive. It’s a lot different because I’m not asking you if it’s okay, I’m just saying I’m following your updates. That’s why I don’t think of Twitter as a social network.

We can break news really fast. When an earthquake happens, there are people Twittering about it.

Experience and curiosity drive us to make unexpected, offbeat connections. It is these nonlinear steps that often lead to the greatest work.

You can shut down a service, and yet people will find ways to communicate.

Have confidence in your ideas before they even exist.

You can be hyperconnected, then you can take a break for a couple days and it’s fine.

People are watching TV, they’re watching some clips on their iPhone. I mean, some folks are sitting there on the iPhone, watching the Colbert Report, and meanwhile there’s a huge plasma TV right in front of them that they could be watching it on.

Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved – commitment to a scenario.

A powerful tool in the early stages of developing scenarios is to pretend the interface is magic.

Actors don’t act, we’re just being in a different circumstance and scenario.
