A few months ago some major online site was sold for millions, or billions of dollars. I have it in my head it was like Twitter, or MySpace or something of that scope and size. Don't think it was the Skype deal.

Anyway, I remember reading the site creator saying he had 5 rules or something about starting an adventure, and one was to just get it out there. Don't wait for it to be perfect, constantly revising it. Just get a first draft out there and working. Your customers are your best beta testers and will feed back to you.

The thing is, I could REALLY do with knowing who said this and what site it was about, if anyone else remembers it. I have a project meeting tomorrow, and it would really help out.

Thanks. Some of the stuff there sounds very close, and he might be the right guy. I need to google him more I think to see if I can find the exact quote I'm looking for.

You say Ouch like it's a bad word.

If it wasn't MySpace could you have been thinking of PopCap (makers of Bejewelled Blitz) being bought by EA?

Might it have been this company.

There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. I have a foot firmly planted either side of that line :-D
