I always hesitate to ask Viaweb questions because you prob get tired of them, but since you brought it up: :-)
How did you get your first users?
Or did they find you?
How long after you started was it before you had customers?
- pg 19y agoWe got our very first users through friends of friends, or by cold-calling them. The first two users were two technical bookstores. One was run by a guy who'd worked at Interleaf at the same time as me. The other one we probably cold-called. We started working on Viaweb in July 1995, and I think we got the first users in November or December. We didn't publicly launch till January, though, because we felt we had to have 5 or 6 stores already online before we launched, or we'd look lame.
