We have built products too...that failed despite success.“One of the most strikingly popular new apps on this front is called TheVerb, a basic events planning calendar developed by a student at Arizona State University. It’s had around 800,000 installs […]”- VentureBeat
Also worked at places that evangelize and aggressively use metrics.

Stage 1: Got the product!
Problem: Not enough users, not enough data.Go growth and build a strategy.Referral program Dropbox (Users invite friends and get more space)Widgets Slide (Slideshow widget on MySpace)Search OmnitureAdvertising Every game on facebookPlatform virality SuperPoke
Use analytics to figure out which strategy works and optimize to maximize growth.

Stage 2: Lots of users
Don’t let your own growth trick you; bad retention is a frequent killer.
Shoot for 40-60% day over day retention. It’s possible, we’ve seen it, and it’s the best predictor of a successful company.
