@norbert_m whoa sweet!

@norbert_m definitely remember Flight Simulator. Spent hours on that (although I didn't understand it)

@evangoldin I didn't have a Mac, so I didn't get to play Dark Castle. :(

@joestump @amyhoy haha. That's right!

@peroty play money?

@amyhoy I think, deep down, everyone just wants to open a coffee shop.

Or own a newspaper.

@phedinkus I'll say!

@louiedinh must be. Such an odd purchase.

@AcceleratedBy wow, thanks so much.

Holy crap. Jeff Bezos just bought the Washington Post with his own money. http://m.washingtonpost.com/national/washington-post-to-be-sold-to-jeff-bezos/2013/08/05/ca537c9e-fe0c-11e2-9711-3708310f6f4d_story.html

@Evanish I'll say!

@rskopecek @SweatingCommas yes. I've found that executing quickly once you have that vision is important.

The quality of an outcome (for a customer) isn't always directly related to the amount of work, technology or money you put into a solution

@adii 80% of our revenue came from higher priced plans (but only 20% of support tickets)

80% of support tickets came from the $19 plan :(

@adii We eliminated a $19/month plan years ago for a $50/mth plan. I still think it's one of the best business decisions we made.

@adii wow. Bold move. Well done! It will serve you well as you move forward.

@adii sorry, what's this in reference to?

@louiedinh Louie: Awesome! Thanks for mentioning that! Glad you liked it.

@johnnie is that available publicly somewhere?
