Bezos: For better or worse, it is really not a part of our culture to look at things defensively.

We look at things through a different lens. We say, “Oh, here’s this incredible phenomenon called social networking.

This is precisely the reason that I think Google will not succeed in their Google Plus approach to social networking.
