Ten Tips for a Successful Internet Startup

Below are the 10 rules for creating a successful internet startup.

1. Don't wait for a revolutionary idea. It will never happen. Just focus on a simple, exciting, empty space and execute as fast as possible

2. Share your idea. The more you share, the more you get advice and the more you learn. Meet and talk to your competitors.

3. Build a community. Use blogging and social software to make sure people hear about you.

4. Listen to your community. Answer questions and build your product with their feedback.

5. Gather a great team. Select those with very different skills from you. Look for people who are better than you.

6. Be the first to recognize a problem. Everyone makes mistakes. Address the issue in public, learn about and correct it.

7. Don't spend time on market research. Launch test versions as early as possible. Keep improving the product in the open.

8. Don't obsess over spreadsheet business plans. They are not going to turn out as you predict, in any case.

9. Don't plan a big marketing effort. It's much more important and powerful that your community loves the product.

10. Don't focus on getting rich. Focus on your users. Money is a consequence of success, not a goal.

百度空间博客上, ”文章内容包含不合适内容“

想在百度空间上放一篇博客文章,结果百度博客显示"文章修改失败! 文章内容包含不合适内容,请检查".

经过逐步删减词和句子后,发现就是"预测"两个字有问题。

另外,百度知道上也有人有同样的问题。

百度空间竟然将“预测”这个词作为不合适词汇屏蔽了,何故?
