And I have been an entrepreneur since birth, at least in my mind.
我自出生以來就是一名企業家,至少我自己是這樣認為的。
And I like creating things that are new. I like working things that are new.
我喜歡創造新的事物。喜歡新穎的東西。
And I felt a similar thing when I created Blogger, and then was part of the team that created Twitter, that this is really fun.
我在創建博客網和推特網時感覺到了類似的東西。我覺得這非常有趣。
I don’t know where it’s going, but there is something very fundamental about what this can do.
雖然我不知道它們將會如何發展,但這都是我基于經驗作出判斷。
And of course, when Twitter came out, it had all the Blogger experience, so it was based on a lot more experience. And I thought, well, people will like this.
當然,當推特網誕生之時,我已經有了博客網的相關經驗,所以推特網是建立在經驗之上的。我當時想,大家一定會喜歡。
Where is blogging today?
博客的現狀怎樣?
Blogging is an interesting place today, I think, because it’s still actually a huge part of the Web.
它現在處于一個很有意思的位置。我想是因為它仍然是互聯網的很大一部分。
There are millions of people who blog daily. But what it is, it’s kind of morphing, I think. So it depends on how strict you define it.
數百萬的人每天登錄博客。但我想這是一種“變異”,要看你怎樣去定義。
Morphing, yeah.
變異,嗯。
So, blogging has always been hard to define, which is why that question is a difficult one.
是的,博客一直很難定義,所以這個問題很難回答。
Because is what一a lot of the motivations to blog and the same acts are that people—what has started on Blogger, com for are tapped by people’s participation in Facebook or MySpace or Twitter now.
人們原先只在博客網這樣純粹的博客網站上寫博客,但是現在卻都通過臉譜網、聚友網和推特網來寫博客。
So I think as a-if you look at it generally, it’s bigger than ever and pretty much growing, but it’s definitely evolving.
從總體上看,博客的規模的確比以往更大,確實也在發展,但博客的確處在變革中。
Is what we are talking about, in terms of social networking, in terms of Twitter and tweeting, is it at the essence of where sort of the Internet revolution is, the idea of community?
從社交網絡和推特網以及使用推特網的角度來看,我們現在正在談的可以說是互聯網革命的本質是——溝通的概念嗎?
The idea that you can take this remarkable tool and use it to create a community that brings friendship, as well as information as well as something else?
是你可以使用 這個不同尋常的工具去創造一種交友、 獲取信息或其他的溝通方式的概念嗎?
I think it does all of that. And I think.
我想它涵蓋了所有,并且我認為……
But how powerful of a force is it, in terms of shaping the way the Internet is used today?
但是對于塑造今天的互聯網來說,它有多大的功效呢?
