Marco Arment's Journey From Bagel Jockey to Publishing Pioneer
- morisy 16y agoWhat really comes out in the interview is his focus on not only the details, but the important details, while avoiding anything that will add friction to his processes, like dealing with cumbersome content agreements or VC funding. "Those small details and experiences are the reason why people like luxury cars. They are full of those little delights. You can do the same thing with any business. With a Web and iPhone app, I try to find new and tiny ways to delight my customers." Simple delights indeed.
- rkudeshi 16y agoMarco is one of the most consistently insightful thinkers out there. Glad to see him getting recognized like this.
- tommorris 16y agoIs the article accurate about Marco adding a $4.99 a month Pro subscription? I hadn't heard of this before - and plenty of us have already paid for the iPhone/iPad app. Is this a change of plan for Instapaper or just misreporting by FastCompany?
- andre3k1 16y agoMost probably misreprorting. Pro is a flat rate of $4.99
- pclark 16y agoHe rolled out a monthly payment package a few weeks ago
- tommorris 16y agoAh, yes, but it is $1 a month rather than $4.99 as the article reported: http://www.instapaper.com/subscription http://www.instapaper.com/subscription http://blog.instapaper.com/post/1256471940 http://blog.instapaper.com/post/1256471940
