"To create an (un)social network, focus on how your product will provide value to its first users, not its last. "
Thanks! Although I kept meaning to change that but never did. I wanted something more like "To create an (un)social network, focus on how your product will provide value to it first users, not its peak users." Or something like that. "last" makes it sound like, well, last. Like the company is failing and you're down to your last user. I meant it in more of the full adoption sense. Lots of things I'd like to fix in the article..
Thanks digging my article! I'm curious what people thought about.
My team and I are starting up a legal social network. We have since changed names and pivoted slightly to address several different markets but here is a video I made which describes a small part of what we are about - http://youtu.be/3m194rui52Q . I see you went after funding from places like Sunlight Foundation and Google Ventures. I'd like to know more about that process if you wouldn't mind sharing...
Cool, just watched the video, looks really ambitious! Yeah I'd like to hear more and share what I can. Let's setup a call or something. lucasdailey@gmail.com
