Should Steve Jobs have said: a) It's a tablet b) It's an iPad, or c) It's for consuming content in a relaxed and portable way? Honest question. I'm curious what your approach would have been.

Have you tried a shared task management app like Asana or Flow? Same premise... applied to note-taking.

Who gets attribution for every thought embodied in that doc?

I definitely agree with this: "Walk into the room with a predetermined pitch that they're determined to stick to, things usually end badly." In my experience, you need to be nimble. But I also think you need to start the conversation somewh

It is. But it's widely assumed that they won't remember the application at all by the time of the interview.

How so? We just learned a ton by way of this thread. I would say that's a huge win for Rocketr.

"We want random access to your thoughts, not to listen to a single path through them, prepared in advance." You can have both. Without having true insight into exactly what information you hope to take away in 10 minutes, I would think that

It takes the same approach to productivity, that news.yc takes to news. They are, in fact, very similar in that regard.

My thoughts... - What does a builder sound like? Aren't we all just trying to speak to customers? Are builders naturally better at that? - "Co-authored notebooks" and "one author per note" are not contradictions at all. They speak to entire

We definitely struggle with the same positioning challenge that Wave faced. In our first version of the product (at DemoCamp Toronto), the last comment made from the audience was "It's like Wave, but simpler." We're actively trying to give

"So the feedback he's getting here is the most valuable he's likely to ever get." I'm getting valuable feedback to be sure, but in now way do I agree with this premise.

The federated wiki comparison is a good one.

This is exactly correct.

Good catch. It should have said ("yet", widely respected).

We actually did make mention of them later in the interview and are now running a pilot with a class at University of Toronto.

If you knew me, you would know that there is no way I would not show up with the money in hand under any circumstance. You hate the people who don't pay. And I don't blame you. That being said, you probably don't care whether they sold lemo

Yup. I just left a comment on the blog about this. There's a little more context there that is probably relevant to this story. In short, the bet wasn't made quite so belligerently. It just so happened that unexpected circumstances made the

That is halfway correct... :) We are also hiring 1 designer (with strong front-end qualifications). Rocketr (Atatomic Inc.) has seen a recent infusion of capital and is looking to round out it's core team (there are 4 or 5 open positions fo
