"Too often we read something, share it and talk about it, but fail to retain its meaning." - @evanish http://buff.ly/14iEVBc

Nobody brings people together like @rrhoover; follow that guy if you're into startups, product, or building communities on the web.

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

B2B: "What do companies desperately NEED?"

B2C: "What do people desperately WANT?"

(Why B2B is easier than B2C)

"Before focusing on what your website will be, figure out your business. Your website won’t earn money, but your business will." - @pjrvs

Why I still prefer web apps: you don't need to manually "update" a web app.

"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?"
10 year-old: "Hawaii!"
7 year-old: "Africa"
5 year-old: "McDonalds"

Surprised this didn't get more traction: "Startups: You Should Value Software More" http://buff.ly/17mFwXi cc @patio11 @joestump

Businesses need to spend money.

They spend money on two things:
1. Things that make them money
2. Things that save them money

Tiered pricing vs pay-as-you-go for SaaS apps http://buff.ly/13ZvuqG

Real marriage conversation #28.

What we want from a website: hours of operation and location. What we get: slideshows, company history, news, events, contact form.

This looks awesome --> A KPI dashboard for early-stage SaaS startups http://buff.ly/154LD1E

Nothing gets you out of bed faster than your 3 year-old saying: "And now I'm going to give you a haircut"

There's a huge difference between "your customer's problem" and "your customer's problem with your software." #productpeople

If you're into digital design, you need to see this talk by @HugeJoeStewart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjeXTHcS0Ho via @zingerdesign

Just had a passionate call with @Evanish & @kylefox. Jason schooled us on #custdev & #prodmgmt. So good.

Is anybody still up? I'd love some feedback on this new blog post: "Stop networking at events" http://buff.ly/WX6jn1

My wife is out, so I had cake for supper, and watched Ninja Turtles with my boys.

Hey! Part 2 of my interview with @adamstac of the @industry & @founderstalk. If you've ever wanted to start a podcast.. http://buff.ly/11dbNNI

This is a podcast... about making a #podcast. New for 2013! My interview with @adamstac of @industry http://buff.ly/UjRPep

Weirdly enough, being a "podcaster" hasn't improved my sex appeal. At all.

"Engagement is: trust, loyalty, open communication, clear goals, shared values and well-understood reward systems." http://buff.ly/Rvg35N

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” - Einstein

@mm53bar once I identified it, I found it to be very true. Staring at your screen is like blocking yourself mentally.

@CasJam Yes. I’m on there for these vibes.

@_rchase_ The USA is one of the best places to build a business (in the world) due to the cumulative political decisions that were made in the past.

Year to year, you might not notice the difference, but visit any country with decades of bad government, and you'll see how that can affect…

@SymbisoftIO @johnnytong @jodyavirgan It's heartbreaking that so many Americans did not find his past behavior to be disqualifying.

@Shpigford Yes! I'm glad you gave it another try. 🙌

@CiscoRucinski @cassidoo @samwhoo @warsh33p @anatudor @jackmcdade Unfortunately, the owner of X has decided to actively suppress links here (especially those that mention other networks), so we're limited with what URLs we can post. 🤷‍♂️

@robjama @samwhoo @warsh33p @anatudor @cassidoo @jackmcdade YES

@marckohlbrugge In this case, it’s a pejorative label.

It’s valid (and necessary) to criticize anyone in power who is behaving irresponsibly, illegally, or dangerously.

(In the same that wouldn’t accuse anyone of having “Putin derangement syndrome”)

It might be “derangement” if you’re criticizing folks who:

- have no power,
- whose actions were inconsequential,
- and were behaving admirably.

But we’re talking about two of the most powerful people in the world who are behaving in clearly reprehensible ways.

@volkandkaya @laravelphp @ProductHunt Nothing for this project. I did write this blog post about it:

https://justinjackson.ca/summer-project

I have no idea how ranking on Product Hunt works anymore, but Ferdinand and I would appreciate your support! 🙏

@jesseleite85 @wking__ @TransistorFM @austencam Looks awesome! 🤩

Exhibit A

Also: wtf is happening with the ads on this platform

@syedmuzzammil15 I’m not! Not sure why I put it there.

@TylerSalesCoach I agree with that distinction. 👍

@christophrumpel @inxilpro People are tired of the vibes here: tired of being penalized for posting links, the algo, etc.

That “Starter Pack” feature made it really easy to find/follow people on b-sky.

I heard about this newsletter on a podcast; really enjoying it.

Every day, they look at a big story from the perspectives of both left & right news sources.

It’s refreshing to have a place (in this partisan climate) that examines both sides of a story.

@ianlandsman @ProjektGopher Added you Len!

@LarsLofgren @asmartbear @heyjoshwood Just followed you now

@asmartbear @heyjoshwood You should check it out again - in the last week there’s been a big migration over there, and there’s way more activity about founders / startups.

The vibe and energy has been noticeably different.

@JohnONolan @joetannenbaum @inxilpro 🙌

@derrickreimer I agree, and I think it’s a UX/business decision that’s hostile to users.

Showing people video of gruesome murders in the feed because it has a high engagement score is the epitome of hostile UX.

@aarondfrancis I didn’t say I’m quitting: just that this site has gotten considerably worse under the new ownership.

Having to:
- avoid “For You”
- block liberally
- deal with way more spam
- seeing awful ads
- not seeing posts & replies from friends

isn’t “better” than it was.

@thesamparr @dieworkwear If you’re outside a big city (LA, NYC, Tokyo) where can you find great clothes/tailors?

@simonhamp My thoughts exactly.

@forgebitz How are they estimating $2 billion a year in ad revenue?

@wbetiago Generally, those numbers seem to encompass mostly ad revenue.

However, my guess is that the market for tools is at most 10% of that number.

@TheAlexLichter @gandalf10 @MichaelThiessen @dejavuefm @nuxt_js @TransistorFM We’ll take a look!

@samhuckaby 🤣

@joshdkoop @ianlandsman I’ve watched full, unedited Trump speeches. I’ve observed his behavior, listened to what he says, and watched him as a business leader and a politician.

He is discernibly reprehensible in innumerable ways. (Even when compared to the average politician)

@joshdkoop @ianlandsman Nope. Not even in the same ballpark.

No politicians are perfect, but Trump is orders of magnitude worse than most politicians/business leaders.

I’m Canada, I’ve voted for both conservative and liberal candidates. Despite all the online rhetoric, Trump is a special case.

@calebporzio Who are these crazy people choosing QBO??!??

@wbetiago @TransistorFM @podsqueeze_app Yup.

@ChanningAllen I’m telling you: I’m terrible and haven’t improved despite beatboxing constantly since I was 12.

@briancoords 😂

@aarondfrancis @ericlbarnes Hahahahaha. Nailed it.

@joshcirre @TransistorFM 😍😍😍

One of the earliest bits of advice Ruben gave me was to stop thinking short-term.

You can't run a business on a hamster wheel forever – you'll burn out.

A lot of launch-driven businesses eventually lead to burnout.

@joetannenbaum @TransistorFM Yessss. Looks great!

@aschmelyun @ChrisArter This is the way.

@jeffrey_way It’s me.

@tibo_maker @awilkinson I’m curious about the SEO tool! Have you talked much about that publicly?

@calebporzio fuuuck

@JohnONolan @hackersincpod @adamwathan DO IT

@bresslertweets @TransistorFM Printful and Swagfan

@mbuckbee Also @usefathom

@AcquiredFM @gilbert @djrosent Here's the NYT piece:

Mark Zuckerberg on stage now.

Filling up here! Anticipation is building to see @gilbert, @djrosent, and @finkd on stage.

@DmytroKrasun @daniel_nguyenx 🙏

@motleydev When’s the last time you used it?

A lot has changed! https://twitter.com/arvidkahl/status/1831800702164988143

@snackodev That booth looks amazing! 🤩

@jessethanley Welcome! That looks like my neck of the woods.

@calebporzio @LaraconUS @terminaldotshop @ninjaparade @sudobunni @stauffermatt @iamdavidhill @wking__ @thdxr @ThePrimeagen @teej_dv WE PLAYED SPORTS

@whereisjefe @NPR @laineywilson @nprmusic I should say: this was organized through the Podcast Movement conference (NPR was a sponsor)

@ashugeo @calebporzio @LaravelLivewire It looks amazing. 🤩

@rasulkireev @ninjaparade @taylorotwell @calebporzio @stauffermatt @DCoulbourne @ThePrimeagen @thdxr @iamdavidhill @adamdotdev @wking__ Yup. The @laravelphp community is 🔥

@TheOmarZenhom @LaraconUS @terminaldotshop @ninjaparade @syntaxfm I don’t play basketball! Hahaha. That’s what makes this whole thing hilarious.

@mateusjatenee 🤣🤣🤣

I’m going to be so sore tomorrow.

@wking__ @laravelphp I’m big on vibes! 🙌
