I rolled my eyes hard this morning as I peered over the sholder of a fellow subway rider to see the New York Times front page headline: In Web World, Rich Now Envy the Superrich. Boo hoo for Reid Hoffman and his paltry $1.5 billion exit to eBay in the boom hayday.

I really shouldn’t knock Reid though because he had, by far, the best quote in the article. Reid said in the context of investing in web startups:

It’s the big wins that keep everyone diving off the cliff.

Don’t know that I agree, but it made me laugh.
