The key to product development is simple in concept, but difficult to execute: sacrifice your own desires and find out what customers want.

@adrianthomas Great. Thanks for giving it a listen. I just bought Instacast so I can test it out as well. ;) @kylefox

@adrianthomas We are thinking about it now, and want to make that experience better. Were you able to subscribe via Instacast? @kylefox

@adrianthomas Thanks for the note! To tell you the truth, we're still so early on that we haven't thought about syndication. ;) @kylefox

@PatrickKerby you guys really are living the dream!

@BrentLachman yes, Or put more simply: "build it and they will come" becomes "we built it, but no one came".

Hey, I'd love your feedback on the "beta" podcast that @kylefox and I made: http://buff.ly/Q7jGA5. It's aimed at people who make products.

People won't buy a product simply because you made it. "Because it exists" isn't why people buy products. #prodmgmt #productpeople

@ryancarson Interesting that they paid more for Pixar (which came from Lucasfilm) than Lucasfilm itself.

@bryanarchy Sweet! Always nice to help out a friend. ;)

Interesting that Disney paid more for Pixar ($7.4 billion) than Lucasfilm ($4 billion). Pixar was originally a division of Lucasfilm.

$4 billion. Is that a good valuation?

@rjs when you say "variation" are you talking about any deviation from the original vision? Or is it the amount of variety (features)?

@jeff_archibald @patrickkerby @kylefox right on. Looking forward to seeing you guys. (plan on going at least 3 beers deep)

@jeff_archibald @PatrickKerby Hey, @kylefox and I are getting together at Remedy downtown, Nov 1 starting at 6pm. U're welcome to join us!

@beingbrad ha ha. I love it.

@itsdaleconnelly Interesting. What's the challenge you're having right now?

@kaziamullin Nope. You can tell him the Jacksons do that too. ;)

@itsdaleconnelly I'm not sure why you mean by "briefing." is this updating a client in an existing project?

@BrockSky yes! I've seen this series before. I def need to re-watch.

@paper_leaf congrats! More business is always nice. ;)

@greggoldring it's a good one, hey? Seth nailed it.

@amyhoy does this mean a product guy shouldn't learn to code?

@yonester oh man. I can't imagine. I have 4 kids, but having two at the same stage. That's crazy!
