We were both lonely, and we didn't want to do the bar thing. We just talked once online, and then we met. I brought everybody I knew to meet him, right here in this office.

Charli Spearrin

Mark B. Cohen

Criticisms have been raised, but we have looked at it ourselves, and we believe the ONS figures do a good job of measuring online sales.

Vicky Redwood

We want to get 5 billion people online, not just 5 million. But that won't happen without the IT industry being engaged in public policy.

Phillip J. Bond

Mike Seiden

[Online brokerages] who are in a 'deep discount' niche are going to have to come up with new revenue stream, or they are going to be in trouble.

Robert Sterling

Our impression is that most online relationships have come from people who know each other in person. You can really maintain and nurture those relationships online.

Barry Wellman

Online dating in the U.S. continues to grow. This is a half billion dollar industry and it is an industry that is still growing.

Nate Elliott

Hacking is moving finally from a hobby to a job. The money is moving online and so are the bad guys.

Stratton Sclavos

With the increase in broadband penetration further enhancing how messages get delivered, we should continue to see a favorable environment for increased Internet ad spend.

In the distribution of the browser is where we can be profitable. We want our users to trust us to not be intrusive (when they browse the Web), so they can do what they want to do online.

Bart Decrem

The customer portal put online all the information that customers used to get from TXI through calling, faxing, or the mail. We've had very good feedback from customers about being able to access that information through the portal.

James Nicholson

With Wal-Mart, the online component is a step that they have been taking gradually, but it is not a full-on 'this is what we do for a living' business. With Amazon, this is what they do for a living.

We're using the Super Bowl experience to broaden brand experience and to further drive traffic to our online activities. The Super Bowl is like the cherry on top of our online (activities). It's an expensive cherry. Don't get me wrong.

Richard Castellini

The Optimum Online people were fabulous.

Colleen Carey

When recruiters go online, they are just assuming a lot of resumes are going to be in the early career stage.

The major hotel operators will continue to refine their online reservation systems.

Joseph Greff

Every online message encourages me and serves as new support for me to do better.

Zhang Hao

And then you have America Online ( AOL ), which is down more than 30 percent. Obviously the Internet is here to stay, and that's the leading brand on the Web. So I think AOL is a good buy here, too.

John Eade

There's some things that are under our control and some that aren't. There's things we can do to impact the energy debate in this country, but online petitions won't affect the price of gas.

Statements from Partygaming and Empire Online contain the initial seeds of divorce.

Charles Wilson

Having been a student at Columbia, I can say that I've experienced both on-campus and online coursework. If I had to pick the top five courses of my entire experience, two of them were online.

Ann Armstrong

I've been online, but I don't do it daily, by any means.

Rich Robinson

James Shelton

Most authoritarian regimes try to control what their citizens read and do online, but China is far and away the world champion.

Lucie Morillon

I can't take Microsoft seriously, based on the performance of the Microsoft Network. The Microsoft Network failed miserably. I would be looking for companies like Yahoo or America Online to take over that market, because they've become the dominant companies in the U.S., Europe and Australia.

There was a growing online community having conversations about travel and Southwest. We could watch that conversation, or become part of it.

Linda Rutherford

Mike Wittner

It's a great place to be gay online because no one knows who you are, where you live. They only know what you tell them. Online, you can lie. It's very easy to make up a whole different person online because you have a fake name and you can be really secretive and deceitful about it.

Llywelyn Jones

We feel the best approach is online and brick-and-mortar, not pure plays.

To click on a link or buy online.

Seth Godin

Christos Cotsakos

Brian Bolan

A landmark moment in the cause of establishing and protecting individual privacy rights online.

Jerry Berman

This campaign was effective in beginning to address some Internet piracy problems in China. But I must say online piracy isn't only a problem in China, it is a problem even in developed nations.

The very best defense is online banking.. Once a day or once in two days check your account.

Jan Quintrall

We aren't in a rush to initiate a legal online music service, we will only do so when the market is ready.

Nancy Thompson

It was a great run. I actually watched it live online.

Kate Delhagen

Advertisers obviously want to be where consumers are and if consumers are going to be online the advertisers are going to try and be there as well. Video and advertising go together like the proverbial bacon and egg.

Vince Evans

It's ambitious to think that it [online gaming] will take off as quickly as Microsoft and Sony think it will take off, especially Microsoft.

Ross Goldstein

John Antioco

The Internet changed how the viruses were distributed, but the driver for why it is more financial now is that [the computer] is so integrated in our daily lives. Fraud has been out their for years. Now, instead of bad checks, criminals acquire credit-card numbers online.

Rob Ayoub

Philadelphia in particular is really moving online. We sold more in Philadelphia than we sold to the Rose Bowl. The demand is huge.

Sean O'connor

Due to computer problems with the online application, we inadvertently had duplicate applications. Because of this we have received nothing and even though we have repeatedly spoken to the FEMA helpline, there is no answer as to when it will get resolved.

Sean Nolan

The email, written in broken English and with bizarre claims, is a particularly obvious example of one kind of scam that some online would-be criminals employ.

Marcus Courtney

The new Web site is a logical extension of what newspapers already do very well ? providing important information about government. Putting that information online makes it easy and accessible for those who prefer the Internet.

The online mode will be free.

Blooks are the hottest new publishing and online trend. So, the newest thing in publishing is the oldest thing: the printed book, reinvented as the blook.

Jim Nail

This recognizes the fact that the vast majority of readers now go online to get financial information because we can serve them better that way.

Willie Nelms

The lines are blurring online -- a lot of the things you find on our site you'd find on a consumer media site like Yahoo! Finance or a broker site like E*Trade.

Building upon the online success of the 'Rainbow Six' franchise and harnessing the power of the next-generation experience, 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas' will be the benchmark against which all next-generation games will be measured.

Mark Hovanec

How do you establish online friends by talking about the weather?

Jon Katz

Fierce competition for online visitors continues to be a catalyst for the launch of new products and features. They keep visitors interested and engaged.

Gerry Davidson

A lot of media attention is paid to how much Christmas shopping is done online. The effect is to call attention to those sites doing the largest dollar amounts of those sales. That becomes a motivating force for the entrepreneurial criminal.

Jeff Lewis

Roughly two weeks ago, we had more than 4,000 online transactions.

Greg Cook

We think this is a great consumer offering that complements the DVD release. If somebody wants to get their content online and create a digital library, this gives them the opportunity to do that. This is another way for consumers to access movies.

Consumers show more likelihood to adopt a device recognition solution, and therefore the implementation bodes well for positive ROI and continued use of the online channel.

Social networks, search engines and things yet invented are critical as we bring millions of movies, books and musical recordings online.

Mark Ishikawa

Instead, what we are seeing are gangs taking note of card details and then using them to shop online.

Nancy Willard

Online TV is going to make inroads into traditional forms. That can be a threat to the traditional providers of content or it can be an opportunity as well.

Rob Enderle

This online community is a little different consumer than, say, the 21- to 27-year-old who watches TV. Once again, (we're) trying to broaden our audience with Bud Light.
