Thanks, that's good feedback to make sure I'm more clear about my offering. My goal is not to be a full-time outsourced product manager. Instead I'm trying to fill the gap in early-stage startups that don't quite need a

I left full-time employment at a startup after facing burnout. After taking a few weeks to recalibrate, I'v decided to make a go at building a business from my home office. I have taken my skills and experience as a startup product man

Some ideas from my experiences. 1. Take a deep breath. 2. Take a walk and regain some perspective. 3. Do something that makes you feel successful. 4. Tackle one of the biggest concerns of your product head on.

Steve Blank calls it Customer Development in his book The Four Steps to the Epiphany. I highly recommend reading his book.

Market research is imperative to success, but it may not always look like you'd expect. Note that I come from a B2B software product management background. Market research is a major part of my job, but I don't think I have ever c

This is great work! There has been a recent shift in the last few years of limiting customization to "cover photos" instead of full backgrounds. In the Myspace days, this would have been a goldmine. Twitter still allows this type

This is something I have been pondering for a bit now. As the chair of my church's outreach ministry, I struggle with church communications. The church is a unique community of groups, sub-groups, etc. And the activities are just as va

What types of roles are you looking for?

Agreed. That is my next step. I know there will be restrictions and limitations. Any recommended resources?

Similar, but focused on the people close to us. Our friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

Upvote for presenting a hypothesis and then committing to testing it. The only way to know for sure how well something works is to test it.

This calculator is crap. Expect to shell over the full price of the car in cash or pay $1k per month. Aside from gas, the remainder of the "savings" are BS attempts to get the "effective monthly payment" as low as possible.

First of all, you have a bright future. Don't sell yourself short or give up. Failure is the key to success. Contrary to what many commenters have indicated, don't get a job if you can avoid it. If you can get by without a job, put every la

It doesn't sound like they really understand the point of user testing. User testing is not about being critical/positive, it's about if the user can complete the and if not why? I don't care what my user testers think; I care what they are

They also lost a major partnership with Starz which bolstered their catalog for a long time with newer releases and movies from the major studios.

Svbtle sounds eerily familiar to the old 9rules blog network. The only difference (from what I can tell) is that Svbtle provides the bloggging platform and site design as part of membership in the "network." If Svbtle is to ever monetize a

Simple is building a product that they are certain will be successful. VC's should be clamoring to get involved with Simple. Look at the Simple Twitter feed and you'll see people begging for invites. I am still hoping for an invite Spring

Agree completely. I actually find his posts on TC the most rewarding. All the other TC writers come across as childish pushing out the PR agenda of the latest startups. Very little originality or reporting.

Who even thinks TechCrunch still has any shred of objectivity? Let's face it, the days of objective reporting are gone for TechCrunch. We have to start looking at TechCrunch as the conduit of PR coming from the valley rather than real news

This seems scary. The risk of the confirmation emails being interpreted as spam or not seen is just way too high. Due to the sensitivity of the information being sent out, there is zero margin for error. Even an after death personal messa

Value proposition is surprisingly similar to PicPlum. Printed photos are important. PicPlum as a platform?

I will add that I don't argue that fewer prints are made. Even 10 years ago the majority of photos were printed. Digital photo sharing was still in its infancy. There's no arguing that fewer printed photos exist, but that doesn't mean th

by chrisgoodrich 15y ago
I disagree with your assumption. You're saying that because people order fewer prints from professional photographers, that people don't prefer tangible prints. I think this points more to the fact that consumers don't value a photographe

This is such a tragic situation. I am shocked by the lack of response by Airbnb. The very least they can do is provide her assistance and connecting her with the right resources to move forward. When I was in college, a classmate in a phi

My first thought would be to check out inDinero (www.indinero.com). Seems like exactly their product domain.
