WSJ: How does that ticking clock affect your work? Does it make you want to write more shorter pieces, or to cap things with a large, all-encompassing work? CM: I'm not interested in writing short stories. Anything that doesn't take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing. - Adam Kazwell

Bit.ly says that the data flow they are seeing is so massive that they are getting very good at predicting the number of clicks a link will get in the future. They look at acceleration of clicks as well as the source (Facebook, Twitter, IM, whatever) and whether people are clicking that are outside of the social graphs of other people clicking. In other words, you could say that Bit.ly knows what will be on the Digg home page tomorrow. - Adam Kazwell

"I cannot possibly list how many of my friends are perpetually stressed out about meeting deadlines within their startups....While deadlines, focus and momentum are of paramount importance in any business, they are often arbitrary, fuzzy and come with a cost. It is of vital importance that we learn, as "business parents" to tell the difference between an arbitrary deadline, a fuzzy deadline and a real deadline - and to be able to assess the cost and benefit of meeting the deadlines we set." - Adam Kazwell

"What you should really be focused on when pitching your early stage startup is pitching yourself and your team. The most important aspect of your backgrounds is not the names of the schools you attended or companies you worked at – it’s what you’ve built." - Adam Kazwell

"I just want to say: yes, shit does matter. Your job. Your obsessions. The ways that the things driving your ambitions, attention, and decisions manifest themselves in the artifacts you share with a world full of strangers. It really, really does all matter." - Adam Kazwell

I began to develop what I thought was an indicator of whether someone was going to be a good surgeon or not. It was a couple of simple questions: Have you ever made a mistake? And, if so, what was your worst mistake? The people who said, 'Gee, I haven't really had one,' or, 'I've had a couple of bad outcomes but they were due to things outside my control' -- invariably those were the worst candidates. And the residents who said, 'I make mistakes all the time. There was this horrible thing that happened just yesterday and here's what it was.' They were the best. They had the ability to rethink everything that they'd done and imagine how they might have done it differently." - Adam Kazwell
