"I would say that there’s five things that people do on the Net. They find, they buy, they pay, they share, and they look for entertainment and content. And all of those things are at the heart of what people do on the Net. People want to find stuff. But they also want to connect. They want to share. They want to understand - that’s the reason MySpace is so successful - it’s the reason eBay has been so successful. So, find, buy, pay, share, entertain."

Meg Whitman, CEO of Ebay as quoted in the Financial Times (June 18, 2006)
