borasavas:
Facebook，LinkedIn，Youtube，Dropbox，Skypeに共通していることは何だろうか？とんでもなく成功しているということは別にして，彼らはみな，大きなバイラルエフェクト（口コミの効果）を享受したということだ．それが，ビジネスの成長を加速させたのである．
彼らは一体どうやったのだろう？つまり，こういうことだ．ほとんどの人はこうした会社はまったくの口コミによって成功したと思い込んでいる．それは半分しか当たっていない．もう半分は，彼らが，口コミの広がりを促進するバイラルな機能を，意図的にプロダクトに仕込んだということである．

Let’s face it, fundraising can be a real pain in the ass for the entrepreneur.
It takes up a ton of time that can be otherwise spent managing the business.
Sure, it’s a necessary evil, but it’s also typically a big distraction.
It’s also a lot like dating. You have to go on a lot of first dates…

2011年を振り返る
丁度1年ぶりにブログを書きます。
去年の大晦日に「劇的に自分の世界が変わった」っ て書いたのだけど、2011年はそれを軽く超える多くの変化があった1年でした。Wondershakeがリリースされ、米国に会社を設立し、1回目の資 金調達を行い、最高なチームで毎日仕事が出来てる。なかなかデイリーに自分が考えていることをブログとして共有出来ていなかったのだけど、今日は今自分が 感じていることを少し共有したいと思う。
今年の最大の学びは「ベンチマークの重要性」
3年間、藤沢 烈さんに「もしソーシャルネットワーク系のサービスで勝ちたいならMark Zuckerbergには会ったよね？」と言われた。最初は「え、Markと戦うのか？」と違和感を抱いたけど、その時に烈さんが教えてくれたのは自分の 目線をどこに置いてるのか？そのことの意味だったと感じてる。

I’ve been thinking more about Google’s renewal of their search deal with Mozilla for Firefox. It’s fascinating on a few different levels. Most notably: Google is committing close to a billion dollars to bankroll a browser which is a rival to their own browser.
Why?
Well, on the surface, they do get something out of the deal — something quite substantial. Firefox is a browser...

Hey Wondershakers,
We had the honor to attend TechCrunch Tokyo 2011 on November 29th.
It was packed with tons of quality content, the most entertaining one being the CEO Kawakami-san from Dwango talking about how Japanese startups could become *crazier*.
As you might know, Dwango…

A New Path
parislemon:
Almost exactly a year ago, Path first launched. I remember the initial response being highly mixed. Some found its smaller network refreshing. Others thought it was just about the dumbest thing they’d ever seen. Something about it struck me. Not even the product itself as much as the core concept behind it. And I took to this blog to write as much.
A year later, Path was never...
