She doesnt even talk about her blog/company until the 2 minute mark. She doesnt talk about her current startups until the last 60 seconds. While its cool that she started her first company at 15 (same time as me) she doesn't seem to have much interesting to say on the world of Web 2.0 and beyond. Perhaps this interview wasn't focused on the Internet and was focused on her. I can't help feel its partially because she is one of few high profile females in this male dominated business. However, I'll wait and see what she has to say before I draw the long knives out ... maybe she'll amaze us all.

It may raise some rage-driven comments but we live in a free world after all. She is 17, ok, and made high school with 15(?). 600 people read her blog, and dices will be thrown to see if someone will be talking about her in 2 years time. She his not a great speaker! One thing against my opinion though: she wants to be rich by 25 and i can try only to be before 30. But then again, that's not a reason for a speech is it? My nephew turned 17 today and talks about technology, startups, his apps, ..., all the time but that doesn't make him a conference speaker. MHO Waste of time in my opinion.
