Umair Haque: "true, durable radical innovation, backed up by... a deeply felt sense of purpose; the courage, hunger, and commitment to stay the course... Why aren't there more Googles? The answer's very simple. Because every company that had the potential to be economically revolutionary over the last five years sold out long before it ever had the chance to revolutionize anything economically. Think about that for a second. Every single one: Myspace, Skype, Last.fm, del.icio.us, Right Media, the works. All sold out to behemoths who are destroying, with Kafkaesque precision, every ounce of radical innovation within them... that new DNA - radically more open, transparent, democraticindustries, value chains, and organizations... you can't revolutionize something if you're too busy selling out."
