Baldur Bjarnason thinks Browser Based Ebook Reader-s are doomed, for similar reasons as Google Wave. If the product’s tentpole feature doesn’t directly help the user at the task they’re using the product for, then the product is likely to fail. In Google Wave’s case the tentpole feature was real-time synchronisation and messaging but the products pitched were chat apps and document collaboration. Neither of the major use cases of Google Wave directly benefited from its tentpole feature. (more)

So the PMF score (very disappointed) measures a level of dependency on a product, either because there’s such a strong emotional connection or because nothing else exists quite like it. The NPS score on the other hand measures how strong your word of mouth effect is. In other words, how strong or how viral rather your product can be in the real world. In practice, one is not better than the other. You need both to build a meaningful company. One is gonna determine the fundamental success of the product, and the other is going to determine your distribution success (more)

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus is a 2005 non-fiction book by American author and science writer Charles C. Mann about the pre-Columbian (before-Christopher Columbus) Americas. It was the 2006 winner of the National Academies Communication Award for best creative work that helps the public's understanding of topics in science, engineering or medicine. The book presents recent research findings in different fields that suggest human populations in the Western Hemisphere—that is, the Indigenous peoples of the Americas—were more numerous (peak of 100 million), had arrived earlier, were more sophisticated culturally, and controlled and shaped the natural landscape to a greater extent than scholars had previously thought...By the time the Europeans arrived in numbers to supplant the indigenous population in the Americas, the previous dominant people had been almost eliminated, mostly by disease (brought by Europeans since 1492). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1491:_New_Revelations_of_the_Americas_Before_Columbus ISBN:1400032059 (more)
