  1. key takeaways;partnerships work! so put wood behind BDbut also feature robustness. internet is highly efficient. more great features = more usersand again, not once did we get anything from TC : )
  2. -lots of lessons-btw look at facebook how big a spike it was (we almost didn’t do it because we thought their audience was ‘wrong’)-once you make gains, you never really fall all the way back down-something magical happened in early days...
  3. Amit’s da man!
  4. or put another way; make it easy for other websites to say ‘yes!’
  5. make it easy for people to write a great story.
