Jonah Peretti has been on the front line of the revolution in the global media industry for more than a decade. He was a co-founder of the Huffington Post but is best known as the CEO and founder of BuzzFeed. . "We've spent two years not looking at Google search numbers. A sort of 'aha' moment for me was when I got a few emails from people saying, 'I didn't find anything good to share on BuzzFeed today, I'm upset.'" Peretti realized people weren't visiting his site just to entertain themselves. They wanted to find things for family members, friends, and Twitter followers. . "I care a lot about the quality of the content we create. I care about if we're moving the conversation, and does our reporting move the conversation? I care about telling the public new information and breaking a story. I care a lot about whether we're consistently creating content that people think is worth sharing. I think about unique visitors as a proxy for, if people are sharing our content, then that should grow our uniques. There are things we could do to juice our uniques that we don't do, and there are things we can do to juice our pageviews that we don't do. We're focused on the long term of having really healthy metrics and having people really love the site." .
