It’s a keynote speech from one of the 37 Signals team. It’s the perfect reailty check for web startups and gives some great perspective on stuff like:
- Your chances on being the next facebook / Youtube
- Why a million dollars is better than a billion
- Why selling stuff, gives you more chance of success than giving stuff away
- How to win small
- The truth about viral marketing
It’s really funny and enjoyable too. Start up blog says: get on it.
