Ten Rules for Web Startups

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Evan Williams (the original Blogger!), current CEO of Odeo, Inc has enumerated his Ten Rules for Web Startups. These echo how his current company is operating, lean, mean, powered by Ruby on Rails, and following the “less is more” approach.

To avoid the suspense:

1. Be Narrow
1. Be Different
1. Be Casual
1. Be Picky
1. Be User-Centric
1. Be Self-Centered
1. Be Greedy
1. Be Tiny
1. Be Agile
1. Be Balanced
1. Be Wary (bonus!)

Russell Beatie wanted to add a #12, Be Mobile.
