I just published “The 80% principle” https://medium.com/this-happened-to-me/b38636e0b699

@SweatingCommas odd... but real.

There are so many things that fall into this category. ;)

Thanks to @Evanish, @FaaizaRamji, @kdnewton, and especially @lorindaapps for giving me some great advice / listening / feedback today.

@thelisaphelan thank you!

@SweatingCommas surprisingly (for me as well!) people browse the http://Medium.com homepage and collections.

@SweatingCommas plus you can re-publish on your own blog.

It's kind of like a writing for a magazine. Raises awareness of your work.

@SweatingCommas trying to figure that out myself. Here's what I've found so far: a lot of people discover new content on Medium...

What happens when you mix the wisdom of @hnshah, @sivers and @spencerfry into a single post: http://buff.ly/1bI13Yu

@saddington the ultimate test for any marriage...

@rrhoover was very tempted to fly south to join you for the Startup Edition lunch tomorrow.

I'm hoping to make it to your area soon!

@rrhoover @spencerfry just added this quote to the bottom of my post. So fitting! Thanks!

Just added @spencerfry's excellent quote to this post: “Quit trying to attract a crowd” https://medium.com/product-people/544ec0ec7b4b

@kylefox hell yeah.

@nathanbarry Just saw ConvertKit in the wild for the first time.

Congrats! That's a great customer to have. ;)

@SweatingCommas I've got a fever. And the only prescription is MORE HAND CLAPS.

@macournoyer Whoa wait a second. I didn't send that as a DM?

Hey @kylefox is 1 year older today, but his Twitter avatar hasn't aged at all.

Happy birthday Kyle!

@kylefox yeah dude. Tons of apricot (really sweet on the front end) with a spicy hot pepper on the back end. Super interesting and tasty.

Oh wow, thank you Portland. This beer is incredible. http://instagram.com/p/ahodjtDofe/

Wowser; can someone please do this for podcasting? "Home recording turns building into online radio station" http://buff.ly/1bBaVDd

@gregelizondo prints of what? ;)

@spencerfry I love this quote! Can I add it to the end of this post? https://medium.com/product-people/544ec0ec7b4b

@gregelizondo hey man. Thanks for following!

I tried visiting HoppyPress, but I got an SSL error.

RT @productpeopletv: Hanging out with @AndrewWarner on "What's Hot" in the iTunes Podcast directory.

RT @danmartell: Everyone needs to make a profit. Never negotiate past that point. Entrepreneurs need to make money so they can do more.

@curt_beyondfoam ha ha. You're welcome.

@noeltock Thanks for sharing your story + expertise today! Looking forward to publishing that episode!

@The_Buyside thanks! @danmartell was a great guest.

Part 2 is coming next week.

Had a great interview with @danmartell:

"You should only get advice from people that have been there before."

@emmetgibney ha ha. Ok, what are we debating about here? @kylefox

@emmetgibney @kylefox Sure. I'll play:

Google: took only $25 mil in funding. Turned on revenue from the beg. Profitable within 2 years.

@kylefox huge metal kick lately.

Do you still listen to the hard stuff?

@kylefox you keep baiting the hook!
Safeway Canada: $7 billion in revenue, $2 billion in assets: sells for $6 billion

@MattGoldman_SD Thanks! @danmartell

I asked @danmartell to share his story on @productpeopletv.

Crazy story!

@ryancarson did you see @joelgascoigne's? I'll try to dig up the link.

@thomasfuchs new profile pic looks good!

@joestump I'd love to read it. Link?

@stevetsuida Netflix is a good example (although, their last quarter's profits were $3 million - not huge for a company that size).

@kylefox ha ha. What? "humanity would achieve nothing great?"

@kylefox lol

@kylefox I guess that's what Digg should have done.

And probably Foursquare, Gowalla, and Zynga too. ;)

Who else, besides Google, is earning a sizeable profit as a B2C web based company?

@kylefox I guess I'm just not a house-flipper.

To me it feels more like "asset management" and gambling then a product-focused biz.

@kylefox "1997, GeoCities introduced advertisements on its pages."

Acquired in 1999.

"You can have something really popular and still not make any money on the internet." - @rupertg http://buff.ly/1btxVUA

@kylefox that's what I'm trying to figure out. ;)

Semantically, for a business to be profitable, those earnings have to be retained.

@bfgmartin @joshelman @rrhoover hmm. I think it was more of Yahoo pushing to make money from Geocities. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5865098

@kylefox ;) Ha ha. Can we consider that "business profit"? Did the corporation retain those earnings?

Debate with me: "Everybody seems to keep forgetting about Geocities." http://buff.ly/1btrj8K

@stevetsuida Ads are fine. But they still need to follow the business formula:

Revenue - Costs = Profit

@mike_hasarms I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. ;)
