[Women try to select for the best male and keep them within their group.]

[Women tend to group themselves into similar levels of attractiveness.]

[Every baby has cried and been scared of being abandoned.]

App Store Arguments

In this world you don’t need 1,000 true fans to make a living; you need 1,786 — 536 fans to pay Apple, 253 fans to pay Twitter, and only then the 1,000 that make it possible to create something new. It is inevitable that some number of businesses never get started, because of this deadweight loss.

[Allow visitors to signal themselves as leads, qualified leads, and then customers.]

[Invest more in the channels that are successful.]

[Twitter helps you follow your first 30 accounts, Facebook helps you add you first 7 friends, Dropbox helps you upload your first file, because then you are more likely to come back.]

[Easier to retain or sell to an existing customer than acquire a new one.]

Let's talk about acceptance and reaching rural Americans....

[Your principles are right, they just need to be applied across the board.]

[Rural life exercises the right to be left alone.]

[I would never tell someone how to raise their kids.]

[What's more damaging: names and words or taking a kid deer hunting too early?]
