@Mat_Sherman "East" in the sense that the market wasn't as saturated.

It's easier to grow when there's a lot of whitespace to "grow into."

@jhooks Dude! This looks perfect. I wonder if this setup would work with my Lumix.

@KevinRaetz Is there an existing case study you can point me to?

I'm trying to think of examples where SaaS have used gamification.

Replying to @edneypitta
@edneypitta There's so much more Barbershop B would need to do to compete with Barbershop A before they could consider increasing their price:

- Nicer location, design, logo, feel (the packaging)
- Higher quality, and better trained, barbers
- Building relationships with potential clients

Replying to @desfocado
@desfocado I don't think it's because it's more expensive.

People do it for:
- the status
- doing the same thing as their peers
- having access to certain apps
- hero worship (Steve Jobs)

Seth Godin puts it this way:
"People like us do things like this."

@earthlingworks @runako That's kind of what I'm saying: the simple pricing tests we do seem to align with the theory. (Especially when it come to price elasticity)

I'm not saying we should be calculating demand the econ folks do. But a lot of this theory seems to hold true for me.

@earthlingworks Not sure I understand what you're saying.

Demand is definitely one of the metrics you want to use!

Products (with minimal demand) sell just as poorly when they raise their price as they did when their price was low. 😜

Replying to @louisnicholls_
@louisnicholls_ I've been watching these places for years.

Barbershop B rarely gets walk-ins.

I'm this context, the value of "a good haircut" supercedes "I need it now."

Folks would rather wait than get a bad cut.

@anthonystauffer Oh man. I'm glad that one has resonated with so many people.

Hopefully, being honest about the suffering helps us be more empathetic and caring towards other humans!

Stay strong. 💪

@scocio Podcasts (like blogs) use RSS for syndication.

The podcaster hosts the MP3s themselves.

Directories (like Apple Podcasts) are merely linking to podcast media.

Podcast subscribers can subscribe directly to the RSS feed (without going through a 3rd party).

@ezraklein listening to this clip, I think you'd enjoy a chat with @jasonfried and @dhh.

Their book, "It doesn't have to be crazy at work would be a great topic for a future show. 👌

@simonvieira That was still uncovering a desire they already had:

"Gah! I wish I could just access these files on my home computer via the web."
