This video came across my desk recently from AlwaysOn and it is certainly entertaining an informative!

According to Guy Kawasaki, the panel’s moderator:

At the CommunityNext conference I moderated this panel with the founders of six very successful web properties: Akash Garg of hi5, Sean Suhl of Suicide Girls, Max Levchin of Slide, James Hong of HotorNot, Markus Frind of PlentyofFish, and Drew Curtis of Fark.
