So we have this captive audience.

We'll allow other people to access it and we'll charge them something.

Yeah.

And then that didn't happen until eventually it did.

It happened later than I thought.

So I thought this happened in 2004, 2005.

It didn't happen until 2007.

I'm still always thinking about this.

I was like, okay, it's so annoying.

to have to go get distribution.

It's so annoying to have to raise venture capital money to build all of this infrastructure of accounts and password reset, like all that stuff that now we take for granted.

You had to build yourself then.

But then at the same time, Facebook announced they're opening up

their API access, and I said, great, I don't have to build any of this infrastructure.

I can just be on someone else's network.

A lot of what I think about in social networks and games is dimensionality.

And I like the idea of there's a richness of being able to do something that opens this other dimension that wasn't there.

So it creates a new paradigm of interaction.
