JWZ suggests: "How will this software get my users laid" should be on the minds of anyone writing social software (and these days, almost all software is social software).

#43I just wanted to mention one thing about this video. It's missing the first 3 minutes or so where I introduce myself and my team. It's also missing the part where I gave credit for some of these slides to John Allspaw and Paul Hammond from flickr who gave an awesome talk at the 2009 O'Reilly Velocity Conference. Their talk inspired me to put together this presentation.
