One of the things I try to do when I build software is to find a balance between making products that will naturally appeal to people, but without being exploitative of human nature. It is a challenge but I think it’s doable. I’m interested in user-generated content, community, collaboration and people’s creativity and self-expression. When you work with these kinds of things, technology can make you more human, rather than less; it can be humanizing rather than de-humanizing. How to build something like this is an art, not a science. There’s no formula. You have to feel your way there.
