"No need to make them look better (although you might replace the octothorpes with actual paragraph marks, aka pilcrows: ¶ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... ), but I would suggest hiding them by default, and only revealing them when you mouse over the paragraph. That should make them sufficiently non-distracting." - Michael R. Bernstein

"Mr. Ostertag, I'm not sure you realize that you can sell your music AND still make it available under a Creative Commons license. They aren't mutually exclusive." - Michael R. Bernstein

""$1 and $2.50 might not read as much different to the purchaser’s gut sense of value. But $2.50 and $5, say? Might be enough for someone to just opt for free." That might be so, but it's not the right question. Instead, you need to figure out if enough more people opt for free to cancel out the additional revenue. Because you want to maximize overall revenue, not number-of-paid-copies, or even revenue-per-paid-copy." - Michael R. Bernstein

"How about other operating systems, such as Linux? Any correlations there?" - Michael R. Bernstein

"I'd be very interested to learn how they are going to crunch the ratings data, at least in broad outlines. I assume that a simple average of ratings won't do, that they'll have to weight ratings given by the rating of the doctor making the rating (pagerank-style), and perhaps come up with other ways of determining the authority of the doctor making the rating. Incidentally, is HealthTap making public the individual ratings/reviews being given (anonymized, perhaps), or just the resulting aggregate scores?" - Michael R. Bernstein

"OK, this gives some great ideas to test: Test various incentives, like free support options (chat, email, etc.). Change the call to action to "Get Started" (also test "Start Now", "Share Now", "Start Sharing", etc.) Test text identifying the user it is for (change "...is the easiest way to do X" to "...is the easiest way for gardeners to do X.") Thanks!" - Michael R. Bernstein

"Some feedback: 'Customer Development' really refers to the whole process up to the point where you have achieved product-market fit. Instead, you probably want to replace that box with 'Problem Validation'. Following problem validation, you may want to insert a 'Solution Validation' box. Solution validation overlaps somewhat with MVP building, depending on what you consider an MVP. You can validate a solution with nothing more than a landing page, but not everyone considers that to be an MVP. The 'Attention' box in the McClure column is actually 'Acquisition'. The Ash/Lean column implies that startups invariably switch from one engine of growth to another. While they may do so, changing your engine of growth is actually a change to your business model that is significant enough to be considered a pivot, and while nearly all startups pivot, not all pivot around their chosen engine of growth. Regardless of the engine, the middle of the startup lifecycle is focussed on achieving..." - Michael R. Bernstein
