The site feels like a chaotic newsroom with the cutting room floor exposed. I think that’s part of the excitement — and good design.

One mistake I often used to make at Justin.tv was offering a potpourri of business models (virtual goods, product placement, chat ads, contests, etc..). I was embarrassed to say Justin.tv would monetize with advertising when clearly that was the only answer. Own the simple business model.

Even subscriber counts were originally capped at 2,000. You couldn’t even pay to raise the limit.

It's a simple way to sustain an ongoing always-on outreach to nurture your network. This is the lifeblood of generating consulting work.
