WHAT THE FUCK
WE HAD THE OVERHEARD FEED IN 2007?????

web.archive.org/web/20071213...
post from the twitter blog circa 2007: Overheard anything good lately? Check out Overheard.it! The most popular word to track on Twitter is "overheard" so this new project by the folks who brought you Snitter is going to be interesting to watch. Here's how it works in their own words: Overheard.it is a fun site that pulls in all the fun things people overhear on Twitter. The site was thought of, designed and built by the fine folks at Sidebar Creative. You can interact with Overheard.it a few different ways. If your Twitter updates are unprotected, you can start your update with the word "overheard" and it will show up on the site. Follow @overheard and you can preface your updates with OH or overheard. Finally, you can submit anonymous updates by sending a direct message to .

INVESTING IN THE GROWTH OF Sally's We are culinary artists. Experiential designers. Creators of magic. Pizza is the most popular and social food in the world. Shouldn’t pizza restaurants be inspiring gathering places? We believe they should be beautiful. With an elevated hospitality experience. And of course, the pizza itself needs to be absolutely amazing. Truly exciting dine-in pizza restaurants do not yet exist at scale. And they need to. So we’re building them. We are flattered by the constant flow of franchise inquiries. Here’s the thing though. We have no plans to offer franchises. For what we’re building, we feel strongly that it’s way better as a company owned development model. We’re really a better fit for investors who want to see a great company being built. Those who are looking for more than just a financial return. Our goal is to build a company of enduring value. One that has significance to society. We want you to believe in our mission. Sally’s is for those who want to be part of something magical.

i think a lot about whether ev williams's original vision for obvious (before everyone there decided to focus solely on twitter) could pan out if it were tried again or if "create something so lucrative nobody wants to do anything else" was an inevitable conclusion

web.archive.org/web/20061125...
The New Model We are attempting to create a new model for building and running web products. Nearly everyone I know in the Internet business is either at one of the giants, wishing they were at a startup, or at a startup that hopes get bought by a giant. The models for how these types of companies build and launch products is fairly well-known—although some certainly do it better than others. My theory is that a confluence of factors are paving the way for a different type of company: Sites are cheaper and faster to build The consumer web is increasingly hits-driven and increasingly crowded, which makes it more difficult to predict what's going to work. Sites that do get attention can make money with advertising and/or subscriptions. The Obvious model goes something like this: Build things cheaply and rapidly by keeping teams small and self-organized. Leverage technology, know-how, and infrastructure across products (but brand them separately, so they're focused and easy to understand) Use the aggregate attention and user base of the network to gain traction for new services faster than they could gain awareness independently As services mature, the goal is to get them to profitability with advertising and/or subscriptions, so they can add to the network (and fund more building). When justified by growth, resource needs, and desire of the team, we will spin off growing properties to form their own entities (with outside investment). It's not that we're against investors and acquisitions. That model works great for some things—especially once the idea is proven. But we're also not an incubator, with the goal of hatching companies from everything we build. Some things are perfectly worthwhile but don't need to be a company.

in love with this insane review of pizzahut's online ordering system from 1994

www.latimes.com/archives/la-...
Still, as computationally clever as on-line ordering may be, it misses the point of what this medium can do. Fundamentally, there’s not much difference between ordering a pizza over the phone and ordering one on-line. The transaction is basically a commodity. The trick is to figure out new ways to create value for the customer. Instead of simply letting people order a pizza, why not let them design it as well? Instead of showing an ordinary menu with a list of toppings, show a picture of a pizza with the toppings clustered on the side. Let teen-agers and college students build their own pizzas on-screen. Present a palette of toppings and let people place their mushrooms and green peppers and pepperoni anywhere on the pizza they want. The real pizza is customized accordingly. In other words, computer-aided pizza engineering. This is precisely the sort of interactivity that computers and networks are good at. There can be as much value in the design--maybe more--as in the transaction. So sell it! The pizza home delivery market is more than $6.4 billion a year. Surely, a lot of those people would be prepared to pay a little premium to custom-design their own pizza. Indeed, a Pizza Hut or Domino’s might even be able to sell its “pizza design” software to customers. Turn making the family pizza into a video game. Needless to say, this software makes transaction management easier for the pizza company. So everybody can win.

i was too young to experience desktop voice chat pre-discord but i remember looking at their website on archive.org a while back and it immediately became crystal clear why discord "won" the moment i saw this

their competitors were so prehistoric that "won't expose your IP address" was a novelty
