Pierre Omidyar in December Esquire: "John: You captured the context of the rolling interview and the essence of the Omidyar's - a deep faith in the goodness of people and the willingness to invest their wealth in finding ways to help others create new social enterprises.
I have no doubt it will generate a lot of added interest in the O.net - but I fear that the network volume may cascade because of the publicity and force the network design folks to come up with a plan to help O.net participants sort through the topic content to find gems of wisdom and people of common interest.
Tom Munnecke is a very good example of a netizen of the O.net who has adopted it as his new home. Tom puts in enormous hours on the O.Net - but he has a lot to say and much of it synchs well with the chaordic process he is comfortable basking in.
In spite of my comments about opening the door to a lot of new folks on the O.net, I hope your article does as much for broadening the reach of Pam and Pierre's vision as the Esquire article The Pentagon's New Map did for my friend Tom Barnett --Tom's book was voted #6 of all books on current events on Amazon in 2004. Quite a leap from the platform Esquire provided.
I think it took a leap of faith and an innovative turn of mind on your part to land the interview and turn it into a truthful piece - nice job.
Dave Davison"
