one of the things i try to do when i build software is to find a balance between making products that will naturally appeal to people, but without being exploitative of human nature. it is a challenge but i think it’s doable. i’m interested in user-generated content, community, collaboration and people’s creativity and self-expression. when you work with these kinds of things, technology can make you more human, rather than less; it can be humanizing rather than de-humanizing. how to build something like this is an art, not a science. there’s no formula. you have to feel your way there.
