13:00-15:00 What was the second idea?
15:00-17:00 Is the first product decision trees? What data sets are you analyzing?
17:00-19:00 After you have all that information, what do you do with it?
19:00-21:00 Is going through a ten-question survey more complicated for the user than a decision tree?
21:00-23:00 So is it like a Minority Report-style pre-cognition? When will you be able to predict when someone is going to murder someone?

36:00-37:00 Can ethical people win on the Web or do you have to be willing to break the rules?

42:00-43:30 What is the system paralleled and you could maintain the same identities and cross-post?
43:30-44:00 What if you pulled in all the messaging from Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc?
44:00-45:00 Is that the only way to kill Twitter or Facebook?
