While I was at TechTV, I tried to give the executives the inside edge on the way things should work online, but they didn't listen. That's the problem when you deal with executives who don't understand technology.

They say, 'We don't want to join the conversation because we're afraid they're going to say bad things about us.' The answer to that is, 'They're going to say bad things anyway.'
