Internet 10 Commandments

The thing is, on Internet...
  1. you don't choose your users. The users chooses you.
  2. you can't sell fake for long. The Collective intelligence prevents that.
  3. the success of the company is proportional to the talent of the people that works on it.
  4. your product needs to be good, regardless if it is free. Actually, it needs to be good specially if it is free. As more people will talk about it.
  5. what you call user base is nothing but a bucket of thin air. Email address doesn't mean anything. You have active users or you are fading away.
  6. companies must know that good ideas and feedbacks can and will came from all levels of the company. You ignore it, you miss the point.
  7. user expectation is an everyday task. You miss it, they migrate. Yes, your competitor is only one click away.
  8. to succeed you need to know how to "count cards". There is no meaning-less statistics.
  9. developers are artists. They need inspiration, motivation and freedom.
  10. this post might be totally WRONG! Or not...
