• You Shouldn't Need An Excuse For Having Fun & Creating Something "Some of the discussion goes back to the same old question of the magic bullet. People want to find out what is the answer to the struggles the recording industry has had, and they want to assign way too much credibility to a key example or event, rather than recognizing that while you can pull lessons from all sorts of experiments, there is no magic bullet. That doesn't mean you can't learn from each experiment and pull out interesting lessons and see where they can be applied. It just means there's no universal "this is how it's done.""
• The Android step function "iOS is growing at at least 100%/yr and Android’s second year was 65x bigger than its first. iOS growth is limited by the ramp rates of a limited portfolio of products.

It also led in total revenue earned per developer. Evernote, in the end, is a compelling case for success on Apple’s iOS app store."

• TreatFeed: Wann lässt sich mit Produkttipps Geld verdienen? "Was Treatfeed im Unterschied zu den vielen anderen (Cashback- und provisionsbasierten Diensten) gut macht, ist, dass es nicht direkt Geld ausschüttet, sondern mit einlösbaren Treuepunkten arbeitet. Dadurch lässt sich der Sammeltrieb vom rein monetären Anreiz trennen und beides unabhängig voneinander aussteuern."

They won’t get caught with their pants down and their hand out again. Declare a bubble early and declare it often."
