I write a lot on Quora and respectfully disagree with OP here. I like the fact that I can delete my questions or answers from time to time. It's my content. Not the Internet's. If I change my mind about something I wrote, I want t

Selling ads isn't cool. You know what's cool? Giving your user info to Facebook to mine and monetize.

Good for Google. Bots and fake followers abound on Twitter and Facebook. The followers on Twitter are particularly useless. Don't believe me? Just unfollow all your Twitter followers en masse and see how many unfollow you within 72 hou

As a general rule, Keith Rabois is correct. Look at the CEOs of AirBnB, Dropbox, SpaceX, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. when they were really growing or fighting to survive. None of them seem to blog. There are exceptions. But to be clear: if you
