We are here to provide choice – choice to the consumer, choice to the publisher, choice to the advocate. We’re going to do that by innovating and deliver value to the market.”But he recognized that most customers are still choosing the other guy:”Today we’re flopping around at 9 or 10 percent market share and we’ve got to create that.”
