    Max Levchin, the cofounder of PayPal and the CEO of Slide, measures nearly everything, down to the optimum price to pay for an engagement ring. If he needs a metric for self-importance, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, Sarah Lacy's new book about Web 2.0, provides one. He occupies 78 out of 294 pages, more than anyone else. Here are the index pages for "F" through "M":

    Previously:

    • A is for Adelson, who cofounded Digg

    • B is for Botha, who sold YouTube big

    • F is for Fitzpatrick, and "hookers and blow"
