Startup.com - week 1
(Okay, I realize that this is actually week 2, but hey, better late than never right?)
The building is classic dot-com era architecture - old brick, exposed beams and ductwork - the works. I'm pretty sure it used to be a brewery or bottling company of some sort - there are enormous side-sliding metal doors dotting the place with faded stenciling that suggests as much. Context Optional takes up exactly three desks in a corner. Wow.
The first week was great! (Hey, my boss reads this.) There's a lot of uncertaintly, but we keep finding obvious bits we can tear off and and complete, thereby shortening the list of depserately needed features/bugs/plans. Or if not shortening it, then at least making room for all the new 'must-do' items. I realize I'm being a bit vague about what I'm doing exactly - blah blah "stealth" mode blah blah. More detail soon, I promise. The short version is:
- Radio DJs suck.
- Spoken content can add a lot of value to a music stream or playlist if it's the right content.
- People have metric tons of interesting content we want to share with the world.
So, we're developing a platform to let people do exactly that. Watch this space.
Wow! Sounds like something you're really the absolutely best person to tackle with! Let me know when you need beta testers :)
