Congrats, I definitely agree on the state of forum software.

Also - I remember putting two email addresses in my signature once too (AOL no less). It seems silly in hindsight, but maybe was just a sign of the times.

Good to know you had such a positive experience with FIOS. I know of one business that continually has major issues with Comcast business class.

+1 on this post. My company tried selling an empire to investors at one point, and I think what we've learned (at least around here: 19104) is that you best hide that strategy under the carpet.

This is my first exposure to the lean startup concept, so thanks for such an awesome interview. I'm going to listen to it again. I'm already in the middle of reading the Steven Blanc book, so the timing on this was good for me. Thanks!

My favorite ideas were the give/take sheet in negotiation, and the ideas Todd suggested for customers providing non-financial value back to the company. If you ever decided to revisit this topic, then I'd love to hear more specifics on software/startup sales issues since I thought a lot was just general sales (which was fine). I'm glad I listened to this in any case.

I also had trouble understanding Gabe fyi.

I know this is an old thread, but I recently heard that RIM has co-CEO's and I found your blog while Googling the subject. Results for "co-ceo" show Charles Schwab, SAP, and others doing this at some point. I'd be curious to know how these came about for such large companies, and how they really work.

I think it makes sense for startups to avoid this strategy. -Chris

Nice presentation, and I agree that FON is the way to go. The nice thing about FON is that you don't need the endorsement of the big companies ... although I'm sure it violates some kind of acceptable use somewhere. FON should be hooking you up for evangelizing their technology.
