After we launch a new feature, I keep a close eye on how many people are using it. If it’s unpopular, we’ll discontinue it and try something else. Every feature has some maintenance cost, and having fewer features lets us focus on the ones we care about and make sure they work very well. For every new feature we add, we take an old one out.

Here’s the full post from Seth because it’s short and just that good:
Measuring busy-ness is far easier than measuring business.
Busy-ness might feel good (like checking your email on Christmas weekend) but business means producing things of actual value. Often, the two are completely unrelated.
What if you spent a day totally unbusy, and instead confronted the fear-filled tasks you’ve been putting off that will actually produce value once shipped?
Check out Seth’s blog to get more pearls of wisdom like this. I make a point of reading his blog everyday because literally every post is good. No, great…every post is great.

Innovation is almost insane by definition: most people view any truly innovative idea as stupid, because if it was a good idea, somebody would have already done it. So, the innovator is guaranteed to have more natural initial detractors than followers.
