Warning: I will rip your idea/business apart
By Steve Poland • July 27, 2007
Honestly, 19 out of 20 ideas or web apps, I will rip apart. Why? Not because I hate you, but because if you’re asking for my advice, I’m going to point out faults in your idea/web app, which are simply my opinions. This is so that you can correct them and hopefully have an app I (and masses) might actually use.
Note: I’m not god and I’m not the last word. Follow your own gut and passion. And if you don’t agree with one of my points, you should probably get a few other opinions (and not from your mom or best friend). Hopefully others will comment on my posts to either agree with me or give me an earful — and hopefully give more insight/advice to you.
Regardless of everything, it’s not personal — it’s business. Don’t hate me if you ask for my honest advice and I (likely) rip your business/idea to shreds.
