Certainly very true considering how the net has managed to create a huge impact on our lives. Some people even term it as a basic necessity of life in addition to food and water.
Survival without the internet seems very much unlikely!
Ev Williams's meaningful statement comes at the right time!

Funny and witty though I disagree with some of the points. Worth reading anyway because these questions will always come up when you start a company.

Ric Dragon take on Thought Leadership is straight to the point, pragmatic and ROI-oriented. And honnest. He exposes an important difference betweenThought Leadership and the classical sales tricks: creating long term, altruistic value, not expect immediate return. Thought Leadership is way more than a sales tactic. It's about being authentic, innovating and inspiring. It's a good thing that it's also a valuable way to develop a brand - and therefore, sales.

Beautiful article on selling something you claim to know versus actually caring and sharing you knowledge and making a profit as a result. Thought leaders is what you need to be.

How to solve the chicken and egg issues hat marketplace services have. Faking it before making it can work. And can actually prove necessary not only to get traction but to give the right culture or identity to a service. Of course this form of bootstrapping doesn't scale but we know it doesn't matter: http://sco.lt/6n1fhh

Many are fascinated with Sir Richard Branson and all that he has been able to accomplish in his lifetime.
I love to read about and learn from successful entrepreneurs; what is their daily routine, what kinds of decisions do they make, and what trials have they have had to overcome to make it to their mountaintops?
Take a little time out of your day for some inspiration from one of the world's most intriguing CEO's. Here are a few:
“Some 80% of your life is spent working. You want to have fun at home; why shouldn’t you have fun at work?”
“The time to go into a new business is when it’s badly run by others.”

I just love the ideas in this piece curated on BrainPickings.
Taking a somewhat unconventional post-college path myself, I'm a firm believer in not doing what you're told you're supposed to do, and following your passions towards down a life path filled with the things that you want to do.
Another cool idea from this post include the four types of tasks included in any job - Creative, Administrative, Executive, and Line. I find the parallel nature of almost any job in the world to be extremely fascinating. There are so many types of careers out there, many of which feel like they go over our heads (similarly to the way others may feel about ours) and the fact that they can all be broken down into four basic parts is truly amazing.
Take a look through the rest of the article, you won't regret it!
