Re: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff: Bill Gates needs to come back to Microsoft and fire some people

jasongrimes — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:19:30 -0000

Toughie, MS brought me here via the mothership 15 years ago. I remember going to BillG's house and meeting him and other executives for us interns. Things are different today and I don't doubt Gates has the capacity to return to help change direction, motivate and more importantly recruit. Honestly he's doing more for human kind right now than any software that's changing my life. I don't doubt innovation can't blow us away, but he's innovating in healthcare, disease prevention and in so many other great areas. If I was CEO I would "ask" for some coaching and appearances, but don't expect anything more. Just my 2 cents as someone who has 0 at stake. Great article tho!

Re: Facebook friends could change your credit score

Lame that you deleted a comment about calling this news. This still sounds like Fox News reporting. You could have led with 2 startup companies are starting to use social data - boring but real. Instead you ran with "Facebook friends could affect your credit score."

Re: Apple opens up iWork for iCloud beta to everyone

I must say, I was excited to see the beta, but was seriously underwhelmed by the spam in my newly created message box - 11 in total, on 2 legit emails and those were from Apple. See for yourself - http://jasongrimes.com/post...

Re: Startup lesson #3: Don’t make up a brand, be yourself

Hi guys,

Thanks for the read. I agree with many of the things you said, but "SERVICE" is what's going to separate you. If you continue to focus on the product and listen to feedback and iterate predictably you are on the right track. Think about what separates @Desk and @Zappos - their model is service first.

Brent - you are too kind. Brent taught me quite a bit about the game and the hustle. Seattle is a great scene for DIY/Lean orgs.

Would love to see more of this kind of content telling the actual stories. Even a simple interview weekly with a designer - could be conducted by email for simplicity. Stack up a bunch, spread it among your other content. LIke you said, Real Stories, Real Emotion and customer reactions to the work.

Yeah I agree. My guess is that the market for these devices are also some of the same people who carry multipurpose phones so it seems very James Bond and less real computing function.
