Any evidence to support this? If anything it seems like growth is accelerating.

The whole point of the post is that we are different than our users. What we want, or what we think is important, often doesn't match up with what users really need.

We've been using a Kanban-like approach for about 36 months. While it's not perfect, it's advantage is that it's actually fairly flexible: you can modify it to fit your needs. For …

I think if your main source of income is stickers, that's risky. They will (and already are) become commoditized - with MessageMe, Path, etc... all jumping onboard. I'm guessing th…

If the challenge is to "think of successful entrepreneurs or CEOs who blog", I can think of a bunch off the top of my head: Leo W. at Buffer - http://blog.bufferapp.com/author/leo …

After doing a lot of listening in forums, on my email list, etc... I launched http://jfdi.bz as a response to a common pain I kept seeing: there's so many people building products …

One reason: a PDF feels like a "finished publication" . While HTML can be dynamically updated, a PDF is the equivalent of something "going to the press". Another reason: for whatev…

I think this article proves that wrong (if these stats are true). Teens are the most fickle demographic out there!

I find Silicon Valley's obsession with teens fascinating. Why is teen usage a benchmark for the health of a startup? Do teenagers spend money online? Is there any research on that?…

Is Salesforce extremely profitable? http://beta.fool.com/boriskabinov/2012/08/13/will-salesforce... http://www.informationweek.com/software/enterprise-applicati... Looks like the a…

I'm looking for data on whether Nike trimmed down its product line based on this advice. Has anyone else found anything?

I like the point being made here: building a product is hard. But once you've built it, you have a new mountain to climb: building a business. In our startup culture, "building the…

I really like the idea of "writing through the product dev process". So often I get stuck and the act of "talking it out" helps - I think writing a blog/journal would be even bette…

I think the premise is that consultants often bill by the hour and don't include bathroom breaks, screwing around, etc... as billable hours.

This line really hits home the key failing I've had with email from startups (especially pre-launch confirmation emails): "The single biggest problem I see in emails that web produ…
