   Once someone told me about a guy who invented the disk brake, he went to a racing team to offer it, but they told him "we're looking for something to speed up our cars, not to slow them down." At the end, disk brakes helped a lot in racing

   Design is very important, I'll say its as important as code, If your code is great and your UI is just bad, people won't use your app. It's a huge advantage to have a designer in your team, mostly because a startup changes so fast that depe

   You got a point there. We still have different opinions about that issue, but you're right, FB could be a tool, some people use it, some don't. One last question: Do you think is important having a FB profile? What about 2 candidates for a

   Yeah! Much better! I'm a fan of Katty Sierra and always read her creating passionate users blog. It's so bad that she isn't posting anymore.

   I really don't get your point, your telling me that you would look for something in MS/FB that you can't legally ask in a job interview? There's another factor there, it is that FB/MS profiles can be configured to suit in a determined job,

   I see your point, but I think people just don't put those things in their resumes. Have you ever seen a resume with: I like to spend my weekends drinking beer in a rock party or in the other case: I spend all my weekends in church. Of cours

   I've read the article and I really think, that's stupid to check the candidates social network profiles. Whats the matter if someone drinks beer with friends, or likes any kind of music? If someone hires you or not because of your social ne

    Well, I think that a webapp should be suited for anyone unless it was created for a specific group of people. About women... I'm a man, and as any man should know, It's almost impossible to understand a woman, so asking a lot of women about

    Maybe including names for the axes will made a better graph I guess Katty Sierra is happy when people use her style. This may be a nice Creating Passionate Users post. ;)

    47 inches! Maybe it's just too much, for me any screen with more than 1024 x 768 px works fine. My startup is a webapp, so users screen size also matters.

    I don't know if all founders must be hackers, I've knew a few hackers with a lot of experience in programing but with no idea of web design. I really think Usability and Design matters. Also a startup needs to be changing fast in code and d

    Social networks should evolve into a more specific community. For example, a business network where you can collaborate with co-workers around the world to improve your marketing strategy among other things. It just don't make sense to me

    I'm really sorry, This blog is about how to create passionate users for your product/webapp/etc. I was not referring to any particular post on this blog. I think this is an awesome blog, and it was really helpful for me.

    My point is: Can you do it better than Google? I think that in many cases the answer is... Yes! I got a lot of ideas from Katty Sierra's Creating Passionate Users. ( http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/ ) This is a MUST re

    Nice post, I think you have to be inspired to choose a name, it has to be something easy to remember and related to your business. Creating a logo for your business is also difficult, try a lot (and I really mean a lot) of colors and a lot

    I think it's also important on a webapp homepage a try it button (without registration). I think a lot of people want to try something before they start using it.
