More quotes by Alexis Ohanian
I actually haven't even found a curriculum in America that is really preparing people for this 21st century world.
Alexis Ohanian
Everything is derivative. Everything is a remix, and we all stand on the shoulders of giants - a great phrase.
Alexis Ohanian
Nothing will replace good journalism.
Alexis Ohanian
It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.

Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar.
Alexis Ohanian
I think everyone should learn how to code.

If I'm at the University of Georgia and I can't inspire this room full of students, OK, fine. I'm not going to take it personally. Maybe a little bit, but I'll be all right.

At the end of the day, how many ads did it take to convince you to use Facebook or Twitter? It wasn't marketing or advertising that convinced you to use these services. It was their value.
Alexis Ohanian
I try to help founders as much as I can, but so many of us we won't even take meetings with people who still just have an idea, because everyone has an idea.
Alexis Ohanian
The Internet is such a tough marketplace because everyone is a click away from going back to a cat photo, or going back to whatever else they were doing. You have to win them over, and do it quickly, and do it by making something people actually want.
Alexis Ohanian
No, everyone has great ideas, but what makes a difference, especially online, or just in life, is actually doing it getting that first version out there.
Alexis Ohanian
There was a clear lesson here — and that was that the Internet loves Mister Splashy Pants.
Alexis Ohanian
Net neutrality is one where we the people are definitely on the ropes.
Alexis Ohanian
The Internet is, as a communication platform and a learning platform, unparalleled because whether you want to learn something or share something, it's simply a few clicks away.
Alexis Ohanian
I think we are a better and a more efficient society when people actually get to do the things that they really are passionate about, and really are amazing at, because it's going to mean better stuff for us, too.
Alexis Ohanian
If I didn't believe in rooting for founders and investing in founders, I'd be a bit of a hypocrite.
