Thursday, June 19th, 20087 lessons from a product launch
Dharmesh Shah gives some good lessons on how to handle a product launch. I hope to be able to follow them myself (in a couple of months or so…)
How corporations constrain productivity
I set up my home office with the best tools I could afford. Life is so much better when you love your tools.
Murdoch has a plan. Zell doesn’t
Alan Mutter dissects recent newspaper purchases.
Patterns for designing a reputation system
Another good one from the Yahoo User Interface team. I’m wrestling with this in a couple of different contexts right now, so this is very timely.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing with a start-up
David Hansson of 37 Signals writes (and I wholeheartedly agree) that running a start-up need not entirely take over your life. I’m spending a lot of time right now designing the application and the business model so that I can run the business in a reasonable way. It may not end up that way, but that’s where I’m steering.
