    The increased switching cost isn't by force, though. Customers are less likely to switch because of convenience -- you're paying for the conveniene which, I think, means that Amazo…

    I've been looking for something like this! Downloaded.

    I went to a developer bootcamp. This was my experience.

    If you're wondering if it's a good move for you to quit your job and enroll in a developer bootcamp for 2-3 months, I wrote a blog post on my experience this past winter in a devel…

    I've heard and like the term "leveraged income" more.

    Again, it's not about semantics. Replace small business with whatever term you want. The point is that the blog writer built a certain type of business then tried to take it onto a…

    I don't think he's arguing about semantics of startup vs. small business. I believe he's trying to explain that new businesses fall into a path where they think they are a "startup…

    You could have made the same point without saying "Stupid title".

    Who's benefiting from not releasing contact information until a certain threshold is met?

    Good point. Instagram's killer feature was that it made amateur photographer's photos look better, but the answer for video can't be just apply filters again, right? Could it be tr…

    I would argue that the premium you are paying for the wedding photos is attributed to the service rather than the content. You are paying several thousand dollars to a professional…

    Is this the same as plugging in headphones?

    I'm not an instagram or facebook photos or flickr power user by any standards, so take this with a grain of salt: I didn't know I couldn't trust photo sharing apps.

    Currently reading the book and when I came across that part a lightbulb went off in my head, too - I never thought about it that way prior.

    Is there a way to 'push' your new apps to customers or do you just have to wait for them to discover it themselves (pull)?

    That's probably a good thing, no? You probably feel discontent because your mind is telling you that you should do something about the situation. Either correct the injustice if it…

    Cool idea and agreed with needing the word "country" in the title. I didn't know what the site was for when I first came in. I had to click on a book in your "Try these" list to un…

    I wrote a blog post about why exercise is important to mental health and I think the title sums up how I feel about why exercise is so necessary: "The Body is a Distraction for the…
