It seems pretty simple but a lot of our time in 2008 was spent creating features that didn't make us money or didn't get us users. It was a learning experience.

We probably wouldn't have learned any of these lessons if it wasn't for the success of our facebook apps. We then backported that success to make Clutterme.com moderately successful and ramen profitable.
- 1) It will make you money.
2) It will get you users.
