Great post by Seth Godin about how you just can’t please everybody. My favorite part:
It seems as though there are only two ways to deal with this: Stop innovating, just stagnate. Or go ahead and delight the vast majority.
Sounds like a no brainer, huh? But I’m sure there are plenty of companies out there who spend way too much time and effort on the unhappy 2%. Cut your losses and please everybody else.

Awesome post on picking a co-founder by Vin Vicanti, one of the two founders of Yipit. Not having a true co-founder was my biggest mistake with TenthRow. I really should have found two - a technical co-founder and a music industry person who was more familiar with working with bands, labels, etc. Never again will I start a company without at least one co-founder (mark my words…).
