Random Web 2.0 Day 2 Quote Grab Bag
Tim O'Reilly: "So how do you feel that Microsoft has their sights on you (Adobe)?"
Bruce Chizen: "Well, I think Google is more in their sights than us and they're a good heatshield."
Jeff Bezos: "I'm going to stick with our policy of not talking about competitors, I just talk about what we do."
Bob Parsons: "It says on the conference website... 'A dozen extraordinary thinkers and business leaders will present “High Order Bits” - ten minute stand-and-deliver presentations designed to provoke, delight, and amaze the audience' . Now I almost failed the 5th grade, and I didn't attend the 12th grade... so I'm not sure I really fit into the extraordinary thinker category."
Bob Parsons: "We're now renowned for our Go-Daddyesque ads. And that's defined... and I'm quite proud of this... as tasteless and slightly offensive."

Investments
Advising startups is something I've started doing in the last year. It's a fascinating way to use one's brain and experience to solve other people's problems.
I'm loving it.
Besides the few I advise, I've invested in one, HomeThinking.
HomeThinking provides realtor reviews, ratings and metrics (qualitative and quantitive) for home sellers.
I also make a lot of small microfinance loans to entrepreneurs around the world through Kiva. Read more about my on going Kiva Challenge (update).
