RIP Digg

Cítim sa ako pri pozeraní filmu pre pamätníkov. Ale nie takého toho čiernobieleho. Naopak,  môjho z mladosti obľúbeného, toho, o ktorom si stále myslím, aký je kůůůl, in a trendy. A on už je pre pamätníkov.

The lesson from Digg is crucial as Silicon Valley’s ecosystem has made it easier and easier to start a company. It’s that a great product is necessary but not nearly enough. Building a real company is harder, and it takes execution and leadership. Things like a New York-based CEO and a sometimes-distracted co-founder took a toll on Digg in its most pivotal days. As I wrote in my book a year after that cover, startups reflect their founders’ personalities. Back then, Slide was characterized by silent intensity, Facebook was like a messy, pizza-stained dorm room, and Digg? Well, Digg’s offices were empty most evenings.

RIP Digg.

Mŕtvy kôň, mŕtvy kôň… Nezabúdajte, koncept mŕtveho koňa je večne živý. A zrazíte sa s ním na takých miestach, ktoré predsa mŕtvym koňom byť nemôžu. Ale sú.
