@cjgallo thanks. ;)

@morganandrewv what part of the story do you want to hear next?

@TheEricAnderson there you go calling me an 👴🏼 again. 😆

@TheEricAnderson exactly.

And the wager is still the same:

“I’m gambling that we’ll get enough users to sell ads.”

@bingofuel yup.

Viral launches like 🍑, Beme, and Ello are driven primarily by FOMO.

The challenge is to turn that drive into long term usage. Very hard.

@TheEricAnderson @matthewkremer @joshpuckett @jongold it is!

😝 🇨🇦 📱 💸

@joshpuckett @jongold @matthewkremer what’s missing here (of course) is context.

I’ve seen many employees who “gave it all” and were sacked

@joshpuckett @jongold @matthewkremer I agree with that ethos. 👍

I’ve also used TONS of personal resources to help my past employers.

@joshpuckett flipside: should employees get reimbursed when asked to promote their employer (or recruit for them) on social?

@matthewkremer

@joshpuckett ... solutions to problems.

But (to me) expecting employees to use personal resources is a slippery path.

@joshpuckett whoa.

I understand what you're saying in spirit. I like team members that will do whatever it takes and find creative...

@delk that's called an externality. I don't like those. ;)

.@joshpuckett in your example, are employees using personal wireless to tether, or company phones?

@allnacho thanks!

@_atrojas what are you working on right now? Any way I can help?

Wealth in Silicon Valley is less distributed now than it was in the Apple / Microsoft era.

@DesignSellout did you get those stickers?

@sharifkhalladi thanks!

You should check out @theleviallen’s film!

Yes - @simplecast is 👍

@_atrojas I have! Taking it slow though - want to find the right platform.

"Good night son, I love you."

(We were big fans of @litmusapp btw)

@tonytphd thanks Tony!

The 90′s web was weird, messy and fun.

(And I miss it)

@JustMissAlex one thing every 3 days or so?

To be honest, I haven’t thought a ton about the schedule!

I’m 7% done: http://live.megamaker.co

@sixpencemedia thanks so much Susie!

Text message from my brother. 😂

@andersthue thanks Anders!

Just published the first episode of the new #megamaker podcast: "Life is better when you make stuff" https://overcast.fm/+F112HfdHA

"I could do that."

^-- the only way you can prove that statement, is if you do it. 😁

@WalnesJaimie whether the customer refers you to someone else is a big one!

@theleviallen no worries dude!

RT @stellel: “ let’s spend less time consuming and more time creating.” http://buff.ly/1ZbnC0s @mijustin

@theleviallen Yeah, I’m hoping to get ep 1 out early tomorrow. No worries if you can’t do it soon. I can use the version I have too.

@isgerjanson 👍

RT @buildlaunchpod: The new podcast (#megamaker) should launch tomorrow.

Want to help me pick the title?

@ThatLeeGuy 👊

Sneak peek of the #megamaker podcast here: http://live.megamaker.co/

I love the ScreenFlow UI. Wish that Garaband was more like it.

(or, that @ScreenFlow exported MP3)

@nbashaw @robmerki agreed.

@nbashaw @robmerki (haha, are you pulling the old man card on me?)

@robmerki @nbashaw there’s definitely a “shipping” continuum:

“Good enough” https://signalvnoise.com/posts/1763-good-enough-instead-of-absolutely-perfect

“Embarrassed” http://startupquote.com/post/855482768

@nbashaw this could be true.

Sometimes, I feel it’s better to ship something that’s slightly imperfect.

@nbashaw this is true…

but the oppose it also true. 😉

Some people get better at telling stories by telling a lot of stories.

@chobberoni I love getting messages like this. Thank you!

@annettewon thanks Annette!

Hey #megamaker crew - @Tim_Aton wants to know: "Should he pivot or persevere?"

@theleviallen nah. Just do a quick take. This is what I have right now: http://cl.ly/0C142K15091f

(But I'd love to have your voice)

@theleviallen I'd love to get an audio version of u saying: "Life is better when you make stuff" for an upcoming podcast. Is that possible?

@jpetrakovich what’s the audience?

Why is it important to "build things *and tell people*?"

http://megamaker.co/question/

@marktis awwww yeaaaah! 👊

@paul_grech awesome! 💚

@herbigt thanks for sharing it! 💚

I just published “A Maker’s Manifesto” https://medium.com/mega-maker/a-maker-s-manifesto-fcb98fa99466#.xu3t9b9s0

@peroty @ginatrapani yup! I was an early user! Love it.

Have a story to tell about something you've made?

Today, we launched the #megamaker publication on Medium:

https://medium.com/mega-maker

@chris_vasey yes I’ve used both for a previous group I created (http://productpeople.club).

Thinking about it, but I’d like to take it slow.

@sfioritto 4!

I just wanted to increase the odds that a little person would wake me up in the middle of the night. 😁

@sfioritto I feel your pain!

@allanbranch @lesseverything congrats!!! That’s a milestone to be proud of. 👊

The community that's forming around #megamaker is amazing. We just crossed 1,700 makers!
