Lionel Richie - Just To Be Close To You

Now this is a jam…

The hot companies come and go. You can’t create lasting value on hype. It can give you a boost for sure but at the end of the day product wins and that is where all entrepreneurs must focus, particularly when the hype cycle ends.

This article by Fred Wilson is spot on. Every day I wake up and think how I can make our products better. I don’t really care if we have the most users, but I do care if those users love the product. I’ve seen countless examples of companies who care more about hype and popularity than they do about building quality products.

My first experience with this was working at Vimeo. We didn’t rely on Techrunch posts to build the userbase; we focused solely on building the best product we possibly could. We didn’t focus on the competition, we built what we thought was right for Vimeo.

So here’s to pouring every ounce of energy and emotion into building value, not hype.

Nothing like puttin this jam on at the end of the day.

Makes me wanna put on my Zubaz’s and watch some Saved by the bell.

We directed this commercial!  Thanks to everyone in London for being awesome and nailing it.  

Jesus. This makes me want to step my game up, and I love that feeling.

I don’t understand how some people (Specifically Daniels) can produce incredible work over and over AND OVER again. Miss one for crying out loud!

This kinda blew my mind…

Matter changes simply by being observed?

Hi XXXX,

It’s a new year — already halfway over! and I thought I’d check in to see if you may be interested in exploring engineering opportunities with YouTube? I hope…

No, he only runs Vimeo.

It’s a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, Tom would spot that first commenter 60 large just for asking for it on his wall…
