When I talk to people about 'KnowMore', it is as an experiment. The biggest thing I'll say there is that we've learned a lot from 'KnowMore'.

My only advice is to try to get the job that's most like the job you want, rather than the one that's more prestigious. Always try to be the talent.

When I first came to Washington, what I admired most was that people were just really, really smart with a tremendous amount of intellectual horsepower and the ability to look at an issue and say something fresh.

The idea of changing and fixing the problem of how news is presented on the Internet has been recognized for a long time.

It's not a good idea to conceptualize a static relationship with long-standing policies, like health care.

If I'm sitting around exulting over traffic data, I'm an idiot.

The thing to remember about being young is you eventually get old.

I think it's weird that the news cedes so much ground to Wikipedia. That isn't true in other informational sectors.

People set newspapers on fire; they use them for wrapping fish. The Internet does not have that property. What I don't think we've gotten is that you can make things last longer than in print.
