I don't think those lessons apply well to this TwitPic scenario, since they have been breaking them for 5 years without any problem.

- pionar 12y agoYeah, they do. It's hasn't been 5 years without any problem, it's was 2 years without any problem, and 3 years of being slowly strangled by Twitter. Plus, if the definition of success is "last 5 years", then that's not a very lofty goal.
- incongruity 12y agoInasmuch as it came to a sudden, screeching halt even after five years highlights the value of those lessons even more so, IMHO. Five years is long enough to get (falsely) comfortable and that's when ignoring those lessons really gets dangerous for a business.
- squeaky-clean 12y agoIsn't that worse? 5 years of effort, all gone. I'd much rather have a project of mine shut down after a week then to go half a decade before it is shut down for reasons beyond my control.
