Starting A Company Is A Cause, Not

Sharing With Just Your Friends Doesn't Protect Your Privacy. I Know The People At Facebook Will Disagree And Argue That Users Can Control What Is Shared With Whom. But This Is Simply An Illusion That Makes Us Feel Better About All The Sharing We Have Done And Are About To Do.

Google Has Placed Its Faith In Data, While Apple Worships The Power Of Design. This Dichotomy Made The Two Companies Complementary. Apple Would Ship The Phones And Computers, While Google Would Provide Maps, Search, Youtube, And Other Web Tools That Made The Devices More Useful.

More And More, The Things We Do In Real Life Will End Up As Facebook Posts. And While We May Be Consoled By The Fact That Most Of This Stuff Is Being Posted Just To Our Friends, It Only Takes One Friend To Share That Information With His Or Her Friends To Start A Viral Chain.

I'm Proud To Call Myself A Mashable Alumnus.

Don't Let Failure Deter You; Use It As A Stepping-stone And An Educational Experience Towards Making Your Mark On The World.
