Archive for December, 2006. December 9, 2006. This post is influenced by two big events in my life recently – the completion of an entire code rewrite for boso and the move of all my old school friends on facebook. The two probably seem unrelated (and probably not very interesting to you right now) but I’ll provide some context which should explain why they raise some pretty important issues regarding launching web products. So why would you ever switch to one where less of them are? This blog has moved.

This week when we had a chat with Paul Graham. So this issue of persistence has got me thinking a lot and it was a big theme of our YC dinner this Tuesday. The guest speaker this week was Joe Kraus. Why is persistence such a big issue? January 22, 2007. Is proof of that. Right I...

March 5, 2007. So what’s been happening on the business side of things? We finally launched our eBay selling tool – it’s now live at auctomatic.com. It was a totally different experience to launching boso for a few reasons:. 1) This time it wasn’t a student side project and we have all the experience from boso this time around. 8211; A lot of the time he doesn’t even care about the actual idea, in his words “in a year the idea will have changed so much anyway it makes it pointless to invest o...You are c...

The Age Distortion Effect. November 8, 2007. It seems that the press are no longer oblivious to the influx of us British entrepreneur types to Silicon Valley. Wired write about it here. And Director Magazine also picks. Up on it as well.
