Great post Michael. Despite what people say about vanity metrics, I think proving people want what you're going to build before you build it is incredibly important. I heard Flexport did this by getting 300 companies to sign up before

The better question is, "Why does Lyft want to sell?"

Financial education isn't taught in school. I recommend showing your kids Rich Dad Poor Dad as well.

Kudos to Uber. They did better than Google.

And then Lyft mergers with Uber. I wouldn't be surprised.

Vic Vaiana is naive. Co-op apps aren't 10X better than Uber so it's unlikely people will download them, let alone get people to switch from Uber and retain them long term.

Because he lives there? $11mm is .06% of Facebook's 2015 revenue. I doubt they care at all nor is there anything they can do about this.

This is true. How many ideas were created out of frustration? (Dropbox, Airbnb, etc)

This isn't an apples to apples comparison. The Pokemon Company is over 18 years old and has brand recognition. Kinda ironic considering the girl who wrote this works for Periscope.

No it's not. People just ask Google or Siri. They still don't know that 1km equals 0.62 miles.

My work is right by a Pokestop so I just turn it on to collect Pokeballs and dump a bunch of potions & revives. I don't think the games flaw is making people walk around. That's what makes it unique plus the AR part. I think t

This is a misleading title. Redfin isn't a startup, they're a 12 year old company founded in 2004.

Usability with Facebook M, much like Google Allo, will require E2E encryption to be turned off in order to take advantage of those features. Alex didn't mention that, but I think that's the real reason. Also FB wants to know what&

Have you used Signal before? You don't have to use Whatsapp, Allo, or FB Messenger. It's just a pain to get people to download it.

Facebook took the same route as Google by providing secret conversations. However you look at this, this is a good step in the right direction. I still prefer Whatsapp and Signal because they both use E2E encryption by default.

I've used Gmail since 2004, when they had invites and everyone wanted one. I use Outlook for iOS at work and think it's great, although there's issues getting signatures to transfer when your company uses Sharepoint. Email is

It doesn't surprise me that more people prefer personal conversations than the news. What surprises me is that Snapchat was able to figure this out in their own wacky way. Kudos to them, but this certainly doesn't diminish the imp

I was just starting to doubt Apple, especially with their lackluster effort in artificial reality, and now I'm doing an about face. This is an incredibly smart move and a great long term play which will bode well for Project Titan.

Not really. More iOS users, like myself, use iMessage 10X more than Hangouts. Actually since Telegram came out I haven't really used Hangouts at all.
