Whenever people ask me what is going to be the next great search engine I always tell them… it’s over… Google has won and has made sure they stay on top.
How did they do it?
1) They built an amazing product that was so much better than anything else out there.

Who Are You Trying To Impress?
You know that guy in the club… who paints his fingernails black, has some crazy hair thing going on, and wears eye liner and girls jeans? The weirdo who is on the dance floor cutting it up with the chicks while you and all your buds sit and laugh at him. Who the hell does [...]

Are You Scared Shitless?
Last week at Audience Conference I did something I have never done before. No powerpoint, no panel, just me on a broadway stage giving a talk at an event headline sponsored by Ford Motor Company in front of hundreds of people.
The attendees were also a lot of my peers or people in high [...]
