It was an honor to represent the USA and offer my insights and experiences to such an excited and optimistic group of Egyptian entrepreneurs.

Hopefully that didn't get ruined by the tide coming in! Thanks for making this huge tribute.
Such an honor to be here so soon after the revolution on behalf of the U.S. State Department to share insights learned from reddit, breadpig, and hipmunk about building companies in this wonderful online age.
That said, I'm spending most of my time learning from everyone here.
Very generous of you! Tell you what, check back in with us in another ten years and we'll see.

I cannot fathom doing this for a living, but documenting man's inhumanity toward man is Important work.
Behold the marvelous power of the hivemind! Brilliant move, team Hulu. When is Amazon going to get on board?
Now in real life, what is magic in our world? It’s kinda the opposite. It’s about imagining something which is not yet exist, and believing in it so much that you will it into existence with a lot, lot, lot of hard work. So much work that people often think you are crazy. A lot of today’s magic is coming from Silicon Valley. One example is Facebook, which was invented by Mark Zuckerberg a few years after I graduated from Harvard. I know you guys, all not being yet 13, aren’t on Facebook yet. I won’t tell. But he just had a vision, and dropped out of college to pursue it.
Or Google or the iPad. Those are really magical isn’t it? It’s about dreaming, having a vision, even when other people think you are crazy, and just going for it.
And magic doesn’t just have to be about computers, it can be about science and art.
