A few weeks back my friend just launched his brand new venture.
He had teamed up with a rockstar developer, himself a designer/developer to build
a product that was to fill the gap of google removing alerts for RSS.
The alarm bells went off in my mind - he was building a service based on top of Google's
platform, they had no control!
Not only that but what he was doing violated their TOS.
So 2 months of intense work after his 9-5 with his co-founder and they built a lovely product.
The design was flawless, 500 people had signed up for the launch.
The launch date approached and an email blast had been sent out to notify hopeful users of the product 1 day before hand.
On the launch day I got an email saying the product had been shut down, shutdown because google had just re-implemented alerts for rss on their launch day.
It's a shame he didn't read MJ's book, which I had suggested months earlier - he read the 37signals app launch book instead.
I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon TMF , all this wisdom and 100x more compiled into one lucid volume.
Thanks MJ.
