Great response so far to the latest episode of @buildlaunchpod.

"Do you even launch, bro?"

Have you heard the newest episode of @buildlaunchpod?

(Chronicling the launch of The Product Hunt Handbook)

http://buff.ly/1zp46V0

Waaay impressed with the @producthunt crew.

@ErikTorenberg is super responsive and helpful.

Thank you!

Just sent out an email update about my first @buildlaunchpod "built it in a week" product.
You can see a teaser here:

I’m seeing a trend in these “year in review” posts from small businesses. Top “pains”:

1. Accounting
2. Taxes

2015 will be the year of the Webmaster.

Conversations companies are having in Slack:

1. What products should we buy?
2. What training should we take?
3. What blogs should we read?

A question about this media frenzy around podcasting:

Does anyone have real data that shows more people are listening to podcasts?

"You've created the best product possible. But how are you going to get it to market?" http://buff.ly/1uN4E67

How user growth really works http://wp.me/s1366z-growth

@hunterwalk yes. It's really amazing to see something that started as a profoundly geek thing turn into a cultural phenomenon.

Really enjoying the @startupkitio beta so far: http://buff.ly/1ooQkOP

Interesting: looks like Highrise is testing two new homepages:

https://highrisehq.com/index2.html
and

What do you think?

I'm a grown man eating tiny chocolate bars.

I remember only my geek friends played Minecraft in 2009.

Now, 5 years later, every kid I know plays.

Every. Single. Kid.

.@justinabrahms and I just had a good idea for an add-on to @Optimizely: a plug-in that allows team members to bet on different variations.

If you have kids, and like Adventure Time, I highly recommend the Bravest Warriors comic book series. It's on sale on Comixology right now.
