居住在洛杉矶的FOX Interactive Media 产品经理Kareem Mayan汇集了18条关于Web 2.0的说法，在网上转帖颇广。
有人已将其全部译为中文，但译得很不准，我在此给订正了一下。
18. "The best way to build a successful business is to help other people make money." - Rich Skrenta, Topix.net, paraphrases some AOL exec

“当你上了大学以后，MySpace就算不上什么了。”——18岁的Sasha谈及年前的高中生活时说
15. "Build, learn, and make mistakes as you go--you'll know more about what you're doing as you're doing it, instead of before you do it." - Jason Fried, 37 Signals, advocating iterative development
“一边做，一边建造、学习和犯错误——对你正在做的事情，你只有做了才会懂得更多，而不是事前空想。”——37Signals的Jason Fried鼓吹反复前进
14. "[In 5-10 years, the value in media] will be in the companies who can grow audiences, not in those who control content." - Vinod Khosla, former General Partner at Kleiner Perkins

11. "I like Google the best, they're the cleanest. Others are trying to take your attention away from what you're trying to focus on so it's counter productive to go to those sites." - Sasha, age 18, explains why it's smart to adapt to your customers instead of forcing them to adapt to you
“我最喜欢Google，因为他们最干净。其他的网站则试图把你的注意力从你想要关注的东西移开。去那些网站不会有任何收获。”——18岁的Sasha指出，适应用户的习惯比起强迫用户去适应你的习惯要聪明得多
