#2I'm perturbed that "Get to work" is number 5.
Get to work, build a product. Build a good product. The rest will fall into place.

#3Some expectation management is in order. A message along the lines like: "We are going to proceed deliberately, in a step-by-step fashion. We are going to start small with X, then add Y and Z.". Then they should then follow that up by releasing early and often.

Should be #1 on that list.

#5Write some code.

#6Write some code.
And maybe hire some experienced programmers/project managers to architect the system first? My experience with the code put out by fresh CS graduates is that it's a bit naive and by-the-textbook, not surprisingly.

#7From my understanding, their plan was to first figure out what they wanted to do before they do it.
If I was them, I would spend the next few weeks figuring out what it is their building.
Having a blog is probably a great idea for them though.

I think they provided that but it just wasn't obvious from the current entry of their blog. Check this out:

Given how much money they've taken in, I think "Get organized" (i.e., some combination of 1,2 and 4 on the blog) probably needs to go before code.
As much money as they received brings its own responsibilities. They already have too much to just write something and then see what happens.
