There are 11 other companies in that list, so no, disagreeing with regard to one company should not affect your reception of the argument.

- Retric 12y agoPersonally Trulia, StubHub, Coursera, Bonobos, Snapchat, and Instagram also fail to make the useful innovation cut. If 20+ companies do the same thing and 1 one them wins that does not mean the winner is 'innovative'. lytro is actually innovative. It might not be successful, but again that's a seperate category.

- Retric 12y agoWhy? Linux was increadably well managed and great software, but not nessisarily innovative at the outset. Android is arguably much worse as software, but innovative both as a project and somewhat less so as a phone OS. Sure, you can argue that every piece of software is 'new' and thus innovative, but IMO that's a somewhat meaninglessly low bar.

- avn2109 12y agoWhen one company in the world makes pants that fit me (Bonobos), I call that useful if not technologically innovative. Though I admit that I may well be in the large-butted minority here, and the slick user experience of their conversion funnel + shipping pipeline is really just icing on the pants-fit cake.
