There is something in the human mind that find flaws, quirks, and small insanities interesting. When we see that other people have rough edges as well, we feel better about ourselves. After all, even the poster boys only become interesting when their secrets are revealed on the pages of the tabloid magazines.

I could have invented del.icio.us.
I was nineteen years old, a fresh computer science student with a lot of spare time and tons of ideas. A younger and less busy version of who I am today. I had all the tools I needed, and the right idea.
