Great idea. Mixing the past with the present, even if it's novelty some of these are classics. I'm not proud of myself, since I'm supposed to be being healthy, but I just ordered some.

Fascinating article. The difference between a minimum viable product and a minimum product is a complex one. I've been involved in many software companies that thought that they couldn't launch until things are pixel perfect and suffer from

I think I agree that in some cases it makes sense to open source things and in some it doesn't. I think when you look at a site like Teambox it makes absolute sense to be an open source product. To play devils advocate to your point though

I got introduced to talker app a while back while working with the guys from Teambox. I'm based in the UK while they're all over (Spain, US, UK). I didn't really see the point at first and figured Skype/IRC would be better but the more I us

I think this must have always been a concern for companies like Sendgrid. As someone who operates a service to allow incoming email (CloudMailin) there's nothing more worrying than the big boys coming along an sweeping you up. However, so l

I think it's really important to remember this context too. The results actually show that visitors to sites run by site counters customers show that distribution not that the internet as a whole see's that distribution too don't they? On a

I'm amazed at the number of people that don't test at all but also at those that blindly believe that because they're told to test they should always do it. I think it's important to pick and choose when it makes sense for you to test, when
