Glad to hear that Kevin Rose is sticking to his guns. I wonder if the Milk team will tackle a harder problem next time around.
Edit: Kevin Rose said he would kill off any project that wasn't gaining traction and he did just that. This is what I was referring to.
- kappaknight 15y agoI wonder if the Milk team will tackle actual problems the next time around?
- LVB 15y ago"Sticking to his guns" is not the first phrase that came to mind after reading that he'd canned Milk Inc's flagship product after only three months.
- speg 15y agobut that's not the point of Milk... Milk was founded on the idea of pumping out lots of small things and seeing if any of them stuck. If they kept Oink alive until it took off (if ever) they wouldn't be able to build the next thing.

- AznHisoka 15y agoyou gotta look at the conversion rate as well. If only 500 ppl used Pinterest years back, but 200+ people continued using it daily after 1 month, that's shows the product has very good potential, even though the total # of users is weak. That means you just gotta figure out to get more traction. If on the other hand, you find out only 1 person is still using it after a month, that means it's a product fit problem, and sticking to your guns is probably futile.
- delsarto 15y agoI think the guns the parent poster is referring to was the widely publicised statement that they would "shoot in the head" their projects if they weren't working. So they are sticking to that particular gun, as it were
- togasystems 15y agoThat is exactly what I was talking about.
