Famous quotes by Joi Ito:

"It's the guys at the bar that keep calling you back. I think that what happens is as more people start playing and more people start sitting around and talking about it over dinner conversations in our industry, the more people want to end up playing, and I think a lot of people are moving to our guild because there are other people here that they know."

"Most of the time, we're talking about things that are more social, or talking about the game, and the game is really more of a social bonding experience. There are a lot of people making connections and talking about working with each other or bringing in their friends from work."

"Difficulty logging in (and) servers going down--it's become a normal part of our lives. It really does suck for us because we're running higher-level (quests) where it takes us a few hours to get to the (goal) and sometimes the server suddenly goes down right near the end before we finish. And they are unannounced (and) you just see people on the server--guild list--start dropping off."

"My feeling is that what we are doing in 'WoW' represents in many ways the future of real-time collaborative teams and leadership."

Ain't That A Lotta Love

by: Jet

You got the ticket babe
Yes yes yes you know
The desert could not hold
All the love that I have
In my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea
You know my love would cover it all
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Now if the cooks in the kitchen
Had a dress as tight as yours
They would not need a fire
Ain't a word I could say
Just to describe your fine look
That I love and love and desire
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
You got a smile
You got a kiss
You got a heart
And you got a lotta love yeah
A lotta love yeah
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Now if the bees only knew
How sweet your love was
They'd pack up their honey comb
If the birds ever heard how sweet your voice was baby,
They'd pack up their song yeah
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Baby baby ain't that kindness
Baby baby ain't that kindness
Woman woman ain't that a kindness
Somebody somebody tell me
We got to get it all together people
We got to bring it all together
We got to bring it all together people
We got to bring it all together
You know the desert could not hold
All the love that I have
In my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea
You know my love would cover it all
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and...
