If Queen Amezan and Queen Penthesilea could somehow meet in real life, they would recognize each other as sister Amazons. Two tales, two storytellers, two sites far apart in time and place, and yet one common tradition of women who made love and war.
I would definitely return to Austria. They were all good experiences for me, but definitely Austria because there were some ancient Celtic, sacred sites that were in the forest that were quite beautiful.
If you think about photo sharing sites, the mobile photo sharing and social, there’s no competitive advantage, there’s no obvious business model, so I never play with anything like that. I avoid it like the plague.
Is Amazon truly the best online buying experience? Absolutely not. Is eBay the best platform for auction? Probably not. Are dating sites like match.com really a reflection of the way people date? Probably not.
Companies that are hosting Web sites or do a lot of teleconferencing need a lot of bandwidth going both ways.
I worked a lot on our album cover, and I didn’t just want to post it on our website one day and move on. We wound up breaking it into 18 pieces and hiding them on fan sites all over the Internet and then posting clues, so fans could put together the puzzle.
I am honored to receive the TED Prize, but it’s not about me; it’s about our field – and the thousands of men and women around the world, particularly in the Middle East, who are defending and protecting sites.
I saw podcast sites with all these fancy graphics. People don’t care about that. They sign up for what I do.
I think my selfies are the main reason for my fan following on social networking sites. These photos and videos are liked and shared by the followers, and consequently, they go viral.
That’s what I want to do, ultimately: figure out a way to get the world engaged with discovery and protecting these ancient sites.
Net neutrality sounds wonky and technical but is actually quite simple. It would keep the Internet as it has always been – cable and phone companies would remain mere gateways to all sites, rather than gatekeepers determining where users can go and what innovators can offer them.
I have found two Roman sites in the area that I live in.
All these social media sites allow us to confuse truth and popularity. That has to be fixed. Because every normal citizen has a right to know what is factual versus what is amplified by good actors or bad actors.
The social networking sites are such good way to keep in touch with your fans, it’s quick and simple and it keeps your fans interested in what you’re doing.
When it was announced that I was going to be on ‘Castle,’ there were immediate messages on all the TV news sites from ‘Firefly’ fans hoping for a nod to the series – some encrypted business just for them! I can’t promise that, but I can say that a few people out there might get a thrill.
Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don’t care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.
