My partner, Mo

I first met Mo about 5 years ago. I’m pretty sure it was Santo that made the initial intro. He was working at IAC at the time, and I really enjoyed meeting him. His energy, passion and opinions about the world of media and technology left a mark with me.

We stayed in touch and a few years later we all agreed that he would be a great addition to the Spark team.

It’s been three years since Mo joined our firm as a principal. In addition to leading investments on our behalf in some amazing companies, Mo has made our team and portfolio better in many ways. We like his approach to the business, his relationship with entrepreneurs, his intelligence and his instincts. 

And on top of all this great stuff, he’s also become a dear friend. It’s wonderful to work every day with people you respect and enjoy.

So, today, I am thrilled to announce that Mo is now a General Partner at Spark Capital. We are grateful for the past and excited about the future.

Twitter’s latest policy is purposefully designed to allow Twitter to exist as a platform as broadly as possible while making it as hard as possible for governments to censor content, either tweet by tweet or more, all the while giving free-speech advocates a lot of tools to fight censorship.

The rise of iPad

I’m pretty much obsessed with my iPad. It’s more fun to use than my laptop or my desktop computer. The battery life is great and integrated 3g means I can connect quickly and easily.

That’s the opposite experience i have connecting my laptop to my 4g mifi. there is nothing quick and easy about that.

Clearly, I’m not the only one that feels that way. Just last quarter Apple sold 15million iPads. That’s an astonishing number for a category that didn’t exist a few years ago. 

Earlier today, I took at look at Google Analytics for my Tumblr.

Traffic from iPad is almost half of traffic from Mac OS. Even more surprising: iPad traffic is roughly 2x iPhone traffic.

There is so much opportunity in the tablet market. I agree with Tim Cook’s outlook that tablets will be bigger than the PC market. 

If you haven’t designed your app or website for the tablet, I would get cooking. We are at the dawn of a whole new world.
