    What’s the elevator pitch now?

    With conferencing, again, this is one app. If you look at your calendar, it is not only to join your video meeting but also a lot of other things. You read emails, send a chat message, make a phone call, have a whiteboard session, schedule something with external third parties. What we are doing now, it’s really looking at your entire schedule, how to leverage Zoom Workplace to help you out. Essentially, you can leave Zoom Workplace, and Zoom Workplace can help you get most of your work done, right? That’s our pitch.

    That might be one of the worst pitches I’ve ever heard. Does that actually mean anything to anyone?

      Unrelatedly, I need to quickly sneer at another quote:

      like in 1995 when the internet was born

      1995? How was the Internet born in 1995? Eternal September already started two years ago at that point.

        Even Mosaic was 2 years old already in 1995, so the web—much younger than the infrastructure—was a solidly established thing. Did he just make up the number or is that some benchmark, I wonder?
