Quote of the Day

And now (march 11) that Sarah Lacy has hit book publicity gold with her awful/intriguing interview of Mark Zuckerberg that's all over the Internet, your blog post seems downright prescient.
As it happens, I was working on her forthcoming book, but who would've guessed she'd end up being the news?
FWIW, even though she didn't pull off a stellar interview for South by Southwest, her book is actually quite good, except for all that "valuation" and numbers stuff that just don't speak to me as a word nerd. When you start talking "$1 billion valuation" my eyes start to roll toward the back of my head...
