    Slate article says from Financial Times, but doesn't provide a link. Thanks for the link to the other discussion.

  The Social Network made me like Sean Parker more. Sure, he was a bit of a douche (in the movie), but he was a douche who did something substantial and made something incredibly useful that probably wouldn't have made it so far otherwise. It kind of surprises me that people have responded to it so negatively. I just wonder what he really is doing now. After creating 2 wildly successful startups, is he really taking it easy and being satisfied as a part-time angel? He seems too ambitious for that.

    I agree. He kind of reminded me of the Gordon Gekko figure in the original Wall Street. You're not supposed to like him because he's this amoral ass, but you end up totally digging him and a little itty part of you wants to be just like him.
