You have managed to articulately put what so many of us are pointing out that, he didn't really say what it is that he wants to preserve. Yes, culture doesn't need to be defined in a formal document, but it can be hinted at with a

You misunderstand, i am not supporting the claim that "culture needs to be written down", I am just saying that IF we assume that side of the argument, then the author of the memo is not doing it and thus his effort to preserve

I think someone made this with augmented reality. Don't remember name of app though, it was a few years ago. It let contributors have their own "streams" so at any given location you can focus on content by a certain user. Li

Well considering the "culture" needs to be laid down in a document, I am surprised that AirBnB, while putting so much emphasis on culture, has not exactly told the team what it is that the heads want preserved?

It's not publicly traded ATM, but the article hints that it soon will be. But Yahoo has a stake in it, and thus it has "shares" and those shares are worth something, hence it DOES have a "share price". EDIT: I can s

But i agree, it's not necessarily unsustainable. They just need to focus on PAYING customers more, and they'd find most of them in the enterprise market. So yes, tying content-creation with content-storage is an EPIC move, but the

It has already been built. Bane's point is that why doesn't dropbox buy THOSE services and see if they can expand on it. For example docker.io is a paid service for the above use case. Dropbox might be getting a cut from them, but

But that's like $30 per user per per month, no? (i only saw ONE pricing plan when i opened the link earlier). So that's $360 per user per year. at a team of 50 people, that's $18,000 per year. That's not exactly "ch

I really like the platform. It enables people to conduct the decision making in a way that is followed in formal committees, and even the UN. People present options, everyone talks about them, then when it seems that the group is converging
