There Was A Time When Wayne Rooney Was Regarded As A Better Player Than Cristiano Ronaldo

Fast forward two years to the World Cup in Germany and the prevailing view in England reamined that Rooney was more valuable than Cristiano Ronaldo. After a manufactured media story that Ronaldo somehow had a role to play in the red card Rooney received in the knock out stage against Portugal there was a significant body of opinion that would have happily sold Ronaldo. But for those ready to sell Ronaldo it became a case of be careful of what you wish for.

Dear Founders: "Listening" To Your Users Isn't The Same As "Waiting To Talk"

Since my last post “Distribution is 80% of your problem” I have had the opportunity to speak in depth with several terrific startup founders about some of the incredible things they are doing. And why it’s not going so well. Several of their stories remind me of another big lesson I have learned over the years: We entrepreneurs often mistake “listening” to be the same thing as “waiting to talk”. Until it’s too late. A Little Knowledge (About Your Users) Is a Dangerous Thing All these stories have a similar meme: We launched our product. We got to 10,000+ users (or 100+ small paying customers) using unscalable ways. Now we are not so sure of what to do next. One founder had talked to 100s of her paying users and convinced herself that her market was “women who want to make sure their kids don’t get too much unsupervised screen time”. We went back and talked to their users and discovered in fact that the core group that loved the app were “working women who want to keep track of their kids and know they are safe after school”. In effect, so far whenever they had spoken to their users, this startup kept hearing the answer they wanted to hear. Not what their users were telling them. Listening was about waiting to tell their users what they “should” be doing with the app. Another app — one that got to 20,000 users quickly with a small amount of seed money — found once we dug deep that less than 150 of their users were active weekly. They had no idea who these 150 users were or what specifically they were doing with their product. 20 user interviews later we discovered their core use case was far from what they had thought it was. And that their product was too hard to use. For far too long they were too convinced that their technology would change the world especially since 20,000 users seemed to be using the product. A third, a B2B focused startup I recently spent time with that has over 100 paying users but stalled growth and usage numbers. When I initially asked them to tell me who their users were and what pain point they were solving I kept getting back a laundry list of features and “user personas” instead. When they dug deeper and spoke to users, they found that of their 27 features, their real users are using 2 and no one has apparently discovered the 3 they think are the real “killer benefits’. I (and they) realized that their mental model needs to shift from “my users are using the wrong features and SHOULD in fact have discovered the “right ones””. As a startup you don’t get to tell users what scenarios and which features they should use your product for. THEY TELL YOU by using whatever they find useful. Apple May Not Need To Talk To Users But The Rest Of Us Do As a founder, you start with a hypothesis. You have all these incredible suppositions on how you will change the world. And I’ll be the first to admit that there is a tiny class of startups that will get away with “My users don’t know what they are doing. I will tell them what they should do. It works for Apple (or so goes the myth) so it will work for me — let’s just ignore users”. Believe me, those kinds of companies are black swans. Then there is the rest of us. Our users matter. Who they are, what they use our products for, and what they ignore. For 2 basic reasons:

This Week's Stock Market Fate Lies with Job Stats, Disney's View

Can November echo the stock market’s chart-busting October? It was the best single-month performance for broad averages in four years for a market that hobbled out of a challenging summer. A repeat could be challenged by this week’s sprinkling of earnings releases and October jobs data—the closely watched granddaddy of economic reports that could shape Federal Reserve decision-making.

Why Pierre Garcon's Lawsuit Vs FanDuel Is A Loser

Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon filed a federal lawsuit against daily fantasy sports operator FanDuel. It will add to the legal fees for FanDuel, which has been named a defendant in over 20 lawsuits in the month of October alone. Yet, Garcon's lawsuit is the first wherein FanDuel finds itself being sued by a current professional athlete. Not only does it make little sense for a professional athlete to embroil himself in such a high profile lawsuit while he is still an active player, the particular charges made by Garcon appear to be destined for defeat.

Facebook Testing Craigslist-Threatening Marketplace For Selling To Online Friends

I’m cheap. Like, really cheap. I’m a journalist, we're supposed to be like that. Thus I do a lot of my shopping online, but Amazon doesn’t get all of my money. No, sometimes I like to keep it local, and I’ve had some great success finding things I want-and-or-need on Craigslist. But Craigslist has its problems – you don’t know your buyer or seller, it can be hard to organize a sale or pick-up, and, well, it can be downright sketchy. One thing that would help would be a referral or ranking system, yet Craigslist has nothing of the type – once a deal is done then it’s done, no ratings or feedback involved.

Stan Lee's Comikaze Returns Bigger And Even More Diverse

It's Halloween weekend, and that means it's also time for Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo to return to Los Angeles Convention Center downtown. I'm at the convention all weekend bringing you full coverage, so stay tuned right here all weekend. I'll be sitting down with are Grant Morrison, Rob Liefeld, and Tim Bradstreet -- among others, of course -- as well as doing on-camera video interviews, live-tweeting from the convention floor, and supplying you with lots of photos and info as the con progresses. Each year, Comikaze has seen significant growth, not only in attendance but in literal size as the expo gobbles up more space at the Convention Center. Last year, Comikaze saw 21% growth from the year before, with 63,550, attendees. That's in keeping with their steadily rising annual turnout, so similar numbers this year would bring more than 76,000 fans.

Are Share Buybacks Bad For Energy Innovation?

The most recent issue of the McKinsey Quarterly includes an interesting analysis of the impact of share buybacks and dividends on long-term economic growth.

Returning cash to shareholders is on the rise for large US-based companies. By McKinsey’s calculations, share buybacks alone have increased to about 47 percent of the market’s income since 2011, from about 23 percent in the early 1990s and less than 10 percent in the early 1980s. Some investors and legislators have wondered whether that increase is tantamount to underinvestment in assets and projects that represent future growth.

McKinsey’s answer: “It isn’t.”

New Diabetes Study Shows How Big Data Might Drive Precision Medicine

To this point, it’s largely been an article of faith that such rich integrated datasets would be useful and clinically important. The hope this paper represents is that perhaps we’re finally closing in on a tipping point, or a coalescence point, when we’ll at last see a compelling return on all the upfront effort involved in creating such a rich datasets, and also start to see which sorts of data collisions generate the most impactful results.

As It Nears Release, Windows 10 Mobile Is Finally Coming Together

A few months back, I installed one of the beta / preview builds of Windows 10 Mobile (then called Windows 10 For Phones) on my Lumia 1520. I thought it would be safe to use the early version of the mobile OS on my daily driver, but I turned out to be very wrong. Many of the things I loved about Windows Phone 8.1 were simply broken, and basic stuff – like Bluetooth connectivity and saving photos to an SD card – didn’t work properly. My experience with the beta was so bad, I wiped my phone and started clean with the stock Windows 8.1 ROM.

According to the Economist, Bitcoin has a bad reputation and the dark perceptions about it are unfair. At its core, the writer(s) explain, it is “a machine for creating trust” thanks to the blockchain system that powers it. In an era of allegedly declining trust, technology tools offer an opportunity to rebuild systems, and perhaps even institutions, in which we have lost confidence.
