Re: My Top 10 Tech Predictions in 2015

I don't think it'll be a home run. Again Amazon is trying to run itself as a startup, which is why they have so many new projects. But unfortunately, most of those projects will be flops like Fire Phone, which is an unfortunate side effect of doing a startup.

Great list Fred! On Xiaomi, I think they are more likely to expand first to Southeast Asia and South Asia regions than US. The US market is simply too complicated, or "saturated" for many great Chinese companies, including Baidu.

I don't think the book is meant to teach you how to build and scale startups step by step. If you need to learn that, you ought to go read Paul Graham's essays. One of the things I love about this book is its contrarian thinking.

Thanks. We had a great panel. Stefan has been working with us on those panels for years. Last year, he moderated a panel for us himself. Great crowd last Tuesday. Lots of energy.

Interesting data. When they say "High-end phones are a big market: 27% of the total active base, and 80% of those are iPhones," how do they define high-end phones? Is the Xiaomi phone high-end?

Re: The Mindblowingly Simple Strategies Any Startup Can Use for Meetup Success

Andrew Wong — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:11:15 -0000

Nice write up! I got the original inspiration from reading Seth Godin's book Tribes. It has been a nice run for the last three years. Still learning new stuff everyday from our community members. I suggest every business person give it a try running a Meetup group, whatever your industry is. It teaches you a lot about customer service.

Never spent a dollar buying Facebook or Google ads. Yep! What I was telling you was all true. The key of running an online community are three words: COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY! If you get that right, people will acknowledge you. Perhaps I was also lucky, because 1). my group is based in New York (where Meetup HQ is based in case you don't know) 2). I have an amazing team. Don't think I'll ever give up running NYEBN no matter what my next venture is.
