A. I got my start in online communities as one of the founders of Rotten Tomatoes, an entertainment site with user-submitted and critic movie reviews. I was the CFO there and an active participant in getting the community launched.

A. I don't go see any movie without checking out the feedback on Rotten Tomatoes first. I'm also really active in my college alumni's site - I contribute there because I feel part of that family.
