The Walled Garden
● “you do know that Facebook is AOL 2.0, right?”
– If you want access to their big base of users, develop something in their proprietary language for their people who live in their walled garden.

Quechup
● Alas, unlike these legitimate sites, which I have never had this kind of concern with, Quechup essentially hijacked my e-mail contact list after I naively signed up after receiving an invitation from a friend, and then a couple of weeks later, unbeknownst to me solicited everyone claiming that I had requested that the invite be sent out. This is absolutely untrue.
● What perturbed me most about this incident is that they ended their spam with this clause:
● “You received this because Lorenzo! knows and agreed to invite you. You will only receive one invite from lorenzo. Quechup will not spam or sell your email address - privacy policy. © Quechup 2007.”
● - Lorenzo

Small pieces loosely joined

Plaxo Pulse
![Page 21: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Plaxo Pulse Groups
● When you create a group, you declare it to be “private,” “moderated,” or “public.” “Public groups” are similar to what you might be familiar with on Facebook, where anyone can see the group and anyone can join
![Page 22: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Facebook going public
● One of the great features of Facebook was privacy. You could be assured that what was in Facebook remained in Facebook. However, that illusion might be ending soon.
● Tonight, Facebook launches a “public listing search” which allows anyone to search for a specific person. The company says that the information being revealed through these listings is minimal and much less than the information available to someone logged into the Facebook network.

Social Norms
● You should own your social graph
● Privacy must be done right by placing control in your hands
● It is good to be able to find out what is already public about you on the Internet
● Everyone has many social graphs, and they shouldn't always be connected
● Open technologies are the best way to solve these problems

Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web
● Ownership of their own personal information, including:
– their own profile data
– the list of people they are connected to
– the activity stream of content they create;
● Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and
● Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites

The Culture of Education and Startups
http://www.paulgraham.com/webstartups.html
![Page 42: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Culture of Education and Startups
● If the best hackers start their own companies after college instead of getting jobs, that will change what happens in college. Most of these changes will be for the better. I think the experience of college is warped in a bad way by the expectation that afterward you'll be judged by potential employers.
![Page 43: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The Culture of Education and Startups
● One change will be in the meaning of "after college," which will switch from when one graduates from college to when one leaves it. If you're starting your own company, why do you need a degree? We don't encourage people to start startups during college, but the best founders are certainly capable of it. Some of the most successful companies we've funded were started by undergrads.
![Page 44: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Culture of Education and Startups
● I grew up in a time where college degrees seemed really important, so I'm alarmed to be saying things like this, but there's nothing magical about a degree. There's nothing that magically changes after you take that last exam. The importance of degrees is due solely to the administrative needs of large organizations. These can certainly affect your life—it's hard to get into grad school, or to get a work visa in the US, without an undergraduate degree—but tests like this will matter less and less.
![Page 45: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Culture of Education and Startups
● As well as mattering less whether students get degrees, it will also start to matter less where they go to college. In a startup you're judged by users, and they don't care where you went to college. So in a world of startups, elite universities will play less of a role as gatekeepers. In the US it's a national scandal how easily children of rich parents game college admissions....
![Page 46: 2 Conferences in 1 hour](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052522/55493bf2b4c905144d8b4e13/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Culture of Education and Startups
● The greatest value of universities is not the brand name or perhaps even the classes so much as the people you meet. If it becomes common to start a startup after college, students may start trying to maximize this. Instead of focusing on getting internships at companies they want to work for, they may start to focus on working with other students they want as cofounders.

The Culture of Education and Startups
● What students do in their classes will change too. Instead of trying to get good grades to impress future employers, students will try to learn things. We're talking about some pretty dramatic changes here.
