great suggestion Hugh. We definitely want to incorporate the time of day and time between stops at some point, both for the reason you suggested as well as to be smarter about the types of attractions we suggest at different times. thanks!

Disqussing Disqus 15 years ago

Fair point about unverifiable numbers, but in Disqus' case I don't think it is running scared - just celebrating the traction that they've achieved and announcing that they just raised a big round.

That said, I'm a huge Disqus fan, and hate FB comments, so I may be biased :)

There are also coffee shops and 101 other ways to work without a physical nexus.

I think at some point, however, when you're growing, having everyone in one location that is "home" can be very useful, and these tips are good for if you get to that point.

like daveschappell says below, the problem (or one problem) is that their products don't match their marketing. Maybe Basecamp is really good for a specific niche, and maybe everyone knows that, but that's not how 37s positions it on their website.

For as much as we all love 37s and their preaching, Scott brings up some very valid points about their actual products outside of their books and brand.

I work at TeachStreet, and this has been a really dramatic change for us. By thinking through the transition and being as transparent as possible with our users throughout the process, it has worked out as least as well as any of us could have hoped.

They're related, so until you have different people to fill each role, yes, they're the same thing.
