The secret of making money online: David Heinemeier Hansson
- fjabre 17y agoNever gets old..
- megamark16 17y agoYou know, my first thought was like davidw's, that we've seen this before. But you're so right, he is a very energetic speaker, funny, and the message is well supported and presented. It's just a great talk and one that has really stuck with me since I first saw it. "You don't need to be an f'ing genius to make any of this work..."
- davidw 17y agoWe've seen this before (two years ago). The secret? "Sell something".
- gaius 17y agoI thought it was "start a cult".
- xal 17y agoDefinitely David's best. And he had a lot of great talks in the past.
- axod 17y agoA way to make money online. There are many viable ways.
- mhartl 17y agoHe addresses this issue right at the start of the talk.
- mhartl 17y agoThis link is much better, because you can see the slides in parallel with the talk: http://www.omnisio.com/startupschool08/david-heinemeier-hansson-at-startup-school-08 http://www.omnisio.com/startupschool08/david-heinemeier-hans...

- vlad 17y agoSpeaking of which, what's new with Omnisio since Google acquired them? It seems like Google shut down the service to new sign ups for many years now, similar to what they did with GrandCentral, and likewise with Etherpad.
- litewulf 17y agoGrandCentral was reborn as Google Voice, so I hope similar things will happen with Omnisio. I imagine Etherpad is simply being folded into the Google Wave team proper though.
- mhartl 17y agoI think the Omnisios got rolled into YouTube in various technology and product roles, but I'm not 100% sure. (They were in the same YC batch as I was, but I've only talked to them a couple times since the acquisition.)
- Technophilis 17y agoI would have loved to see the slides instead of David's body language.
- marcofloriano 17y agoThis guy really rocks ! Should give more talks like that.

- petercooper 17y agoIf you prefer just the audio (and in better quality than this, I think) then check out the 37signals podcast: http://37signals.com/podcast http://37signals.com/podcast - It makes for great listening and this presentation is the latest episode.
- richardburton 17y agoI think we still need a number of people having a go at random ideas without any clear revenue streams (e.g. Twitter). However, there are so many people who are working on niche-facebooks, socially aggregated widgets and crackpot venture-driven gimmicks who would be better off trying to build a small, profitable business that actually contributes to the economy.
