My question was sincere. Please share.

would you mind sharing one valuable insight that came from the "master" class, that you will be applying to your current/next project, please.

Thank you for this comment, it connected with some of my feelings that have precolated up since my initial question.

I agree, I need to establish a vision, and launch it fast.

Thanks for those book recommondations. Thats always been my problem: marketing

ok, but would you agree that the quality of the Digg clones has generally been poor? I migrated from Digg to Reddit a couple of years ago. Then from Reddit to hackerNews. Reddit appears to be succumbing to the same fate as Digg, (too many lol-cats, and cheap comments).

This site would keep the focus on tech news and try to keep the community relatively small.

quick byte: -(37signals before DH) During a job interview in which JF wasnt very serious about landing the job, he randomly met an acquaintance. This person agreed to work for 37signals as a designer. This person brought a former client with him to 37signals. This client spent atleast 200,000 in services from 37signals.

Who knows how 37signals would have turned out without that 200k during its early years. This was 37signals big break, not saying it "made" 37signals, just saying that 200k obviously helps and luck was a factor. Source: a mixergy interview with JF.

how did Harj's time at liveCurrent go? Im very interested as I remember all the press that Harj/Auctomatic recieved when it was purchased. What was accomplished at liveCurrent?
