I've read #thecoldstartproblem by @andrewchen..TWICE and now I'm listening to it on Audible while I'm walking in the Gold Coast, Australia.
Zapme is about to launch Zapme Social in early December and Andrews work on 'Network Effects' and more importantly 'Atomic Network Effects' has me fascinated.
Let your mind reconnect to your ideas. Mine is now electrified. Thanks @andrewchen

#TheColdStartProblem reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are vitally important today.

I didn’t expect to latch onto reading on my iPhone as much as I have. It’s great and I can get a chapter in whenever I have a moment.
“Disruptive technologies are dismissed because initially they undershoot user needs:
First telephone could only carry voices a mile or two”
Same things being said about blockchain tech right now. Takes time for tech to mature. Steady fellas. #thecoldstartproblem@andrewchen
What are you listening to these days? I'm really really loving #TheColdStartProblem by @andrewchen on audible. His breakdown of #networkeffects is really equal parts mindblowing and has allowed me to understand how #virality can be carefully crafted a la @j1berger

#thecoldstartproblem@andrewchen page 345 “you must start with a smaller,atomic network…I’m not convinced this step can be avoided”. @appfesti agrees and we are living proof of it. Thanks for a great read! The book was a Christmas present from the boys pictured.
