What I Learned at Summify Before Twitter Swooped Down and Snatched Up My Team

"Perhaps it’s because they’re engineers – who they told tend me, tend to have low energy – but I’d argue that 90% of people would not be as composed as these two, albeit, like ducks, they were paddling under the surface like maniacs. "<p>Really hard to parse this sentence the first time around, 'who they told tend me, tend to' ??

"Try it, track it, fix it. Now you know if it does or doesn’t work and you can move on – next."<p>It seems that a lot of people have performance anxiety, and find it very difficult to just "do" what they need to "do". In my opinion people need to learn that it's okay to be wrong. All that matters is that you are moving forward.<p>Great article and congrats on the exit.

I love Summify, probably one of my fave startups. Sad to hear they got talent acquisitioned, but happy for them. I still look forward to my daily Summify in the morning while I'm having coffee or tea. I got a whole bunch of friends using it through word-of-mouth. I really hope Twitter doesn't mess up the core functionality.

Interesting title. I thought it was going to be about the Twitter snatching!<p>Nonetheless, great lessons around communication / teamwork.
