@zeldman @_BMF_ thank you gentlemen!

@benjaminkohl ha ha. What's this in reference to?

(I could be wrong about a lot of things)

@mattamyers thanks btw.

@mattamyers ha ha. Was that the deal? ;)

@bryanarchy thanks! I actually "buffered" all those tweets last night. It's obviously something I've been thinking about. ;)

Just published "This is a web page". If you read it and like it, could you upvote it on HN?

@LauraTFrey @britl but if you have a problem to solve, isn't your first question: "Can you solve this problem?"

Just published something I wrote early this morning:

"This is a web page" http://buff.ly/19VqhWT

Too much "talking about ourselves"

Not enough "here's how I can solve your problem."

@kenromano we're a "progressive" company providing "advanced technical solutions" for a "diverse set of markets."

@britl but if you're looking for a solution, your fist question isn't: "Who's on the team?"

It's: "Do they provide the solution?"

Website visitors aren't interested in you, your tech, or your team.

They just want to know: "what can you do for me?"

@ryzshrn plain old HTML. It's content without the presentation.

Or... sometimes I start with a plain-text file.

@dvdlindenberg thanks man!

Writers are terribly underpaid.

They need a new label that adequately describes the value they provide.

It's still funny to me that we don't start every new web design project with just words on a page.

The principle that changed my life http://wp.me/p1366z-dj

@kylefox it's true. ;)

@FaaizaRamji yes.

Too much "talking about ourselves"

Not enough "here's how I can solve your problem."

@kylefox yes!

(Always trying to one-up me Mr. Fox; aren't you?)

Most websites don't need a redesign: they need a re-write.

@A_Farmer I'm guessing US. ;)

1971 cost of living. Note that a house is roughly 2x annual income. http://buff.ly/1bXhGiQ

@andyngo beauty!

@andyngo thanks for sharing that quote. ;)

Where'd you find it?

@rrhoover thanks for sharing that man!

@StartupClarity where are you located?

@StartupClarity 3 ways:
1) Look at the data - what does it tell you?
2) Good advice from people who have been there before
3) Iterate

@adii I guessed Java. ;)

I love this: "Closed due to a software emergency."

My 3 year old takes the best pictures.

@mariaanabarrera there's a balance for sure.

https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866

Good choices give you the best results.

@davegreiner heads down. https://medium.com/life-hacks/17f71562a063

@rrhoover that stuff is like Cristal up here.

@rrhoover seriously, Canada is a small country. Anyone here with over 500 followers on Twitter is famous.

I'm talking limos and beef jerky.

@rrhoover I'm still offended that you think I'm not a real celebrity.

@danprime it's just a feeling. I can sense when my brain / system is going into overdrive.

Then I just dial it back a bit.

@adampatterson google image search: "air guitar justin maiden"

@adampatterson yes.

@jmetzendorf how did you record the hangout? Are you happy with the quality overall?

@danprime that experience taught me that "working hard" will not always get you the best gains.

It's good choices that give the best gains.

@danprime thanks Daniel!

One of the most personal I've written.

"We’re pedal to the metal, giving 110%, and our amps go to 11" http://buff.ly/13ZLRTy

This summer, take your family camping in a shipping container http://buff.ly/17jZROk

@JPBrammer in that case, you might like this post: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866

@housecor or am I falling sleep? ;)

Mo' Java
Mo' problems.

@Choco_Yuli thanks for sharing!

@chaseclemons Any others come to mind?

@pjrvs I had no idea @99u was an Adobe thing!

Trying to think of corp blogs that people actually care about.

Only two that come to mind:
@37signals SVN
@Intercom http://insideintercom.io/

@nathanbarry have you seen this yet? "Everything I know about self-publishing" https://gayle.hackpad.com/Everything-I-Know-about-Self-Publishing-pk5H8R8fhHc

@JPBrammer so true. Case and point: Jason Fried's page is all content. He's already making money on this idea: https://knowyourcompany.com/

@kumailht subtle difference in your mental state. Focus on problems and you're always focused on pain. Easy to get distracted otherwise.

@adii yes. Case and point: @jasonfried's sales letter here is excellent: https://knowyourcompany.com/ It's all about the words.

@yellobrainfiles Ha ha. #mustachefamily @raspberrysarah

Websites still have the same problem they've always had:

Writing good, consistent content that people care about is hard.

My kids kill me.

One of the most insightful posts I've read on SaaS businesses this year: "Chase the problem, not the solution" http://buff.ly/1bPeUMK

@raspberrysarah incidentally - when you google "Iron Maiden Justin" I'm also the 3rd photo.

O_o

@joestump Yes!

This would make a good show on NPR:

"Navigating the media with Joe Stump"

@rrhoover I want to see some eyeliner in that profile pic!

RT @stuffmartysaid: "Dad, I drank a can of juice that had 125 calories, but don't worry I dropped it and a bunch of those calories spilled …

@kylefox my google images seo is working... https://twitter.com/raspberrysarah/status/346763365579911171

@charlieirish thanks ;)

@rrhoover ha ha. It's pretty scary looking actually, surprised people still subscribe ;)

The older I get, the more I like hair metal.

@lorrainenichols thanks!

@citadelgrad I wonder if that applies to Okinawa Island though; it's been a pretty heavily researched place.
