Nice choice, but you'll first need to get the devil out of your pants...and no, I won't look.

I was thinking Natalie Portman myself, but to each his own.

I think she's over 18... probably not by much though.

Try 21.
And I just *know* that you didn't pick Erica in the survey. I think your exact words were "woof, woof, hoowl!"
That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.

Have dinner ? Is that some kind of euphamism ?
Am I the only one forever playing catch up with technology , while all the juicy opportunites keep rolling by ?

I originally wasn't going to include Eri(c|k)a in the survey but figured that adding her would weed out those who don't really care. I'd be interested to know *why* people voted for the person they did.
My choice: Meg Whitman. eBay have a model that is so simple yet also incredibly powerful. I'd love to find out how they managed to deal with scalability, security, decisions on direction, priority balancing, payments and escrow, insurance, etc etc etc
cheers,

Would you say the same if Meg Whitman looked like Erica?
Or, would you ask Erica about scalability, security, decisions on direction, priority balancing, payments, and insurance ?? Nah.

Actually, Michael Dell would be interesting. Dell rapidly became the number one computing vender, on the relatively simple model of selling direct instead of going through the retail channels. That seems like something that could have easily flopped, but it ended up working quite well.

Exactly! They've made the mistakes and learned from them.

I guess I'd just hate you to talk to her because their model is one of no customer service, no contact with users except to annoy, attack or sue them.

But that IMO is part of the brilliance. EBay is just this virtual space provided with no strings attached. People, you, me, Chris, Bob Marley, etc. then come in and form what EBay is. We generate the community, we enforce and percolate the rules. If EBay admin interfered all the time then a lot of that emergent behavouir would not, well, emerge.
