| 1. | Talking on the phone this evening with my friend Alex Cohen who's contemplating a CTO job at a big Hollywood Web startup, we talked about Davos and globalization, and I said it was just the Web. He groaned, remembering that Hollywood's last contribution to globalization, TV sitcoms, game shows and Oscar winners, was not appreciated in the rest of the world (maybe even not everywhere in the US!). |
| 2. | I said this time globalization of US-generated concepts could be different, we could export free speech, and be loved (and despised) by the right people. We jumped up and down. Let's do that, make free self-expression the cornerstone of the new economy! |
| 3. | I think it's the killer app of the Internet. |
