Clay Shirky: Why SOPA is a bad idea
“The 20th century was a great time to be a media company, because the thing you had on your side was scarcity. If you were making a TV show, it didn’t have to be better than all TV shows ever made - it only had to be better than the two other shows that were on at the same time. Which is a very low threshold of competitive difficulty! Which meant that if you fielded average content, you got a third of the U.S. public for free. Tens of millions of users, for simply doing something that wasn’t too terrible. This was like having a license to print money and a barrel of free ink.

Arianna Huffington kicking off #WeFestival, talking about her mother (who always sounds so badass) and how she was Arianna’s early champion (and helped her ignore the naysayers). Key lesson from her mother for entrepreneurs: failure is not the opposite of success, failure is a stepping stone to success. (Taken with instagram)
