in 2004, the year of their IPO. Digging past the business revealed a wonderful culture. And of course, the values were much more strongly visible internally: near-total internal transparency, data-driven decision making and a deep respect for people’s beliefs and cultures. But, I think that’s a mistake.

The culture is driven by the 20-something irreverent founder with huge technical chops who in a “David vs. Goliath” mythology take on the titans of industry and wins. This “overnight success” was first financed in 2004. Silicon Valley and the media industry that surrounds it values youth.

And I’m sure everyone remembers the video that put them on the map – the one I first saw – which was the Bush/Kerry video This Land is Your Land (“you have more waffles than a house of pancakes), which was part of the 2004 elections and both candidates were asked about while they were campaigning.
