I meant it in the most positive way possible: "an aggressively enterprising person; a go-getter." Hope this helps.

The Hackpad team are serious hustlers. I use it all the time as well and love what they've built.

Thanks. It's pretty easy to focus on optimizing your app rather than optimizing your business (I see this a lot actually), and it's a bad way to go. Similar to PG's thoughts on raising money as quickly as possible and then go

Makes sense. Knowing those reasons you don't think it will work and attacking those specifically is actually a really good way to debug. Dave Friedberg (Founder of Climate Corporation) actually has a really good approach to this that h

Thx. There's lots of good advice out there from other founders as well. This was just a limited view of what I keep seeing over and over again.

I pondered this, but I don't think it's that simple. Economic demographics are a part of the story, but I think the underlying architecture of each really is a lot of the difference. By the time you activate your iPhone for the fi

Agreed. The apps are getting better though (and have to - a lot of businesses are seeing 30 - 50% of usage/revenue coming via mobile). It's not a preference for businesses because they've spent a decade investing in the web a
