If you look at the evolution of games from console to Internet to mobile, and look at social networking from Web to mobile, everything is fragmenting.
I think that television and the web are fusing anyway, so I think that ultimately whatever I do, I'm going to blend the two forms.
My first web series, 'Dorm Diaries,' was a realistic mockumentary about what it was like to be black at Stanford University. I'm black and I went to Stanford. Boom. Easy.
My Twitter feed is probably my biggest resource of news. Other people scour the web so I do not have to, and I thank them for it.
It's easy to talk to people over the Web, but it's not very easy to trigger transactions. That's the thing we set out to fix with Stripe.
I've learned the dangerous lesson of the web: You succeed by giving up control, and that's inverse of the normal campaign.
I still blog, but I do think blogging will become obsolete, as there are more ways of interacting on the Web with low barriers to entry for people to engage and participate.
Like most writers, I find the Web is a wonderful distraction. Who doesn't need that last minute research before writing?
I do not wanna write a song like 'Coathanger' so Andrew Breitbart can rage against me on his web site. It's not my idea of fun.
There is no such thing as an impartial jury because there are no impartial people. There are people that argue on the web for hours about who their favorite character on 'Friends' is.

Paper is a uniquely beautiful format, more so than the web, I think: you need to invest in the aesthetics.
The kids all literally think I'm Spider-Man, and they ask me how I shoot my webs. It's flattering and crazy, but it's Spider-Man they're in awe of, not Jake Epstein.
The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.
The process of making a movie has expanded in terms of effort and time for the director, doing commentaries for the DVD for example, finishing deleted scenes so they could be on the DVD, and doing things like a web blog.
If I'd had more time or been a better writer, I would have tried to put the same ideas and experiences into a novel. But I didn't so I slapped it up on the Web.
Smeagol: Naughty little fly, Why does it cry, Caught in a web, Soon to be... eaten!
[from trailer] Dr. John Watson: I see your web of conspiracy has expanded.
When I use the Internet, it's pretty much strictly for music. Checking out other people's web sites, what's going on, listening to music. It's pretty much a musical thing for me.
I developed some unique software to public it on the web that I call the Folklore Project.
Caring is what matters, not stuff or status, just people sharing kindness & joy in a web of the heart that spans the globe.
