He wants the movie industry to move at the pace his mind does: warp speed...
...their authors’ lives—a way, in effect, for a group of friends to keep tabs on one another despite hectic Harvard schedules. This seems harmless—insofar as it increases comfort levels with blogging, quite valuable even. Still, when creating new discussion forums we ought to think carefully about in which category (public or private) they belong, lest we clamp down unnecessarily on conversations which should rightly have been open...
