It was mainly an internal project but we thought it could be fun to see what others thought too. A good move, in hindsight. Remember – this was pre-iPad days.
What has happened in these four years? Everything, I think.

More questioning about MVPs being the only way to build new businesses. In this case, it is a part of a bigger critique against what companies get funded overall. Worth reading.
