notion was the beneficiary of the mass exodus of users who felt betrayed by evernote's weird pricing change many years ago. they had a great evernote importer which made it easy to migrate and then grew way beyond the elegant simple product they once were.
a new notion is lurking somewhere waiting to ride in the wake of a growing disgruntled pile of notion users
definitely marketing. they tried so hard to hype clubhouse. i think the experiment was to see if they could birth stars out of nothing only to learn it does not work that way.
It's too bad that microsoft continues to be villainized when companies like Facebook and Google have social networks and browsers respectively that have similar practices that users are even more unaware of when they use them.
Computers these days have become thin clients for browsers (especially for the typical consumer). Except for the occasional open of Word or Excel, you're in your web browser browsing the web and have a tab open for Facebook. With new features like "sign into your browser" or ad retargeting across the sites you visit today, consumers are already being subjected to practices that Microsoft at least gives you the ability to turn off piecemeal if you so wish. They're just doing so at the operating system layer instead of the browser.
Think doing so at the operating system is more criminal than at the web browser or website level? Consider that Google Chrome is moving to become "Chromebooks" and that Android integrates Google Search. It's already happening and we take Google's "don't be evil" mantra for face value while continuing to poke Microsoft out of sheer habit.
There's a sweet irony here in that it's a guest post by somebody who hyperlinks to their website with google analytics tracking (likely for lead gen) but discusses why retention is more important than acquiring users. Oh and it's posted by the guest author.
Not that there's anything wrong with that or that the article itself is bunk in any way - just that it's ironic.
great idea. if you're finding that sales go up dramatically too quickly you might want to consider raising prices to weed out shitty startups. your service is only as good as how your partner publishers value the stories you submit. one way to mitigate that is by having a high price floor that only "serious startups" will pay for.
