• “… As a leader, a motivator, a person who can define clarify. When I think of the best CEO’s I have ever worked with or seen, all of them have a blend of all of that.”
• “A hackathon really just means that we’re going to be creative and hack together a product.”
• “It would be cool to be a fly on the wall in a conversation.” (On the thought process behind blab)
• “We’re in beta, but we are doing something unique by building it in public.”
• “The content is going to shape this platform, it’s not going to be us. If the content is there, we’re going to be there to support it.”
• “This is a conversation platform.”
• “If you’re a third party developer and want to build on to blab, direct message me, and we’ll get you started.”
• “When we do roll out the embed feature to everyone… The goal is that when you schedule a blab you’ll get the embed code, you can integrate it into your blog or website, and then it should go through the stages of the blab automatically. It’ll go from a scheduled state, to a live state, to a recorded state, all automatically. That’s part of the convenience we want to offer.”
• “We haven’t spent too much time on our internal insights yet, because we spend all of our energy on the product.”
• “The average blab user spends over an hour a day consuming content (on blab).”
• “I spend no time on vanity metrics. I only spend time on things that are going to make an impact to the users.”
• “There are a ton of user generated guides (about blabs), and we’re in process of making a list of them.”
• “If you sign up for blab, there is a daily digest that goes out, that talks a lot about the cool stuff that’s going on and what is coming up.”
• “Pro tip- you can sign into another account and take over another square.”
