Software that makes a person 2x more productive is very attractive when everybody is trying to do more with less.
- greenyoda 16y agoThat's a valid point, but most of the start-ups I've seen mentioned on Hacker News don't seem to be selling business productivity tools. I don't hold out hope that all those iPhone and Android apps are going to have a big positive boost on employee productivity. And who knows how much productivity Facebook has cost the world so far.
