Thanks, that's good feedback to make sure I'm more clear about my offering. My goal is not to be a full-time outsourced product manager. Instead I'm trying to fill the gap in early…

I left full-time employment at a startup after facing burnout. After taking a few weeks to recalibrate, I'v decided to make a go at building a business from my home office. I have …

Some ideas from my experiences. 1. Take a deep breath. 2. Take a walk and regain some perspective. 3. Do something that makes you feel successful. 4. Tackle one of the biggest conc…

Steve Blank calls it Customer Development in his book The Four Steps to the Epiphany. I highly recommend reading his book.

Market research is imperative to success, but it may not always look like you'd expect. Note that I come from a B2B software product management background. Market research is a maj…

This is great work! There has been a recent shift in the last few years of limiting customization to "cover photos" instead of full backgrounds. In the Myspace days, this would hav…

This is something I have been pondering for a bit now. As the chair of my church's outreach ministry, I struggle with church communications. The church is a unique community of gro…

What types of roles are you looking for?

Agreed. That is my next step. I know there will be restrictions and limitations. Any recommended resources?

Similar, but focused on the people close to us. Our friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

I have this crazy idea to help those in deep financial need caused by unplanned life events such as a severe medical diagnosis, death, or major accident. I found myself in this sit…

Upvote for presenting a hypothesis and then committing to testing it. The only way to know for sure how well something works is to test it.

This calculator is crap. Expect to shell over the full price of the car in cash or pay $1k per month. Aside from gas, the remainder of the "savings" are BS attempts to get the "eff…

First of all, you have a bright future. Don't sell yourself short or give up. Failure is the key to success. Contrary to what many commenters have indicated, don't get a job if you…

> But with the biological piece of the disease taken care of, a big part of the battle is already won. I completely disagree. IMO biology is responsible for a very very small part …

It doesn't sound like they really understand the point of user testing. User testing is not about being critical/positive, it's about if the user can complete the and if not why? I…

They also lost a major partnership with Starz which bolstered their catalog for a long time with newer releases and movies from the major studios.

Svbtle sounds eerily familiar to the old 9rules blog network. The only difference (from what I can tell) is that Svbtle provides the bloggging platform and site design as part of m…

Simple is building a product that they are certain will be successful. VC's should be clamoring to get involved with Simple. Look at the Simple Twitter feed and you'll see people b…

Central Desktop is hiring for its product team. We are looking for a Vertical Product Manager, Sr. Manager of User Experience and a UI Designer. Location is Orange County, CA. We'r…

Agree completely. I actually find his posts on TC the most rewarding. All the other TC writers come across as childish pushing out the PR agenda of the latest startups. Very little…

Who even thinks TechCrunch still has any shred of objectivity? Let's face it, the days of objective reporting are gone for TechCrunch. We have to start looking at TechCrunch as the…

This seems scary. The risk of the confirmation emails being interpreted as spam or not seen is just way too high. Due to the sensitivity of the information being sent out, there is…

Value proposition is surprisingly similar to PicPlum. Printed photos are important. PicPlum as a platform?
