Ship Crap, Young Man

Nice entry over on Guy Kawasaki’s new blog called “The Art of Innovation” (Link). Don’t let the uncreative title fool you, it’s worth reading. In particular, I liked this:

Don’t worry, be crappy. An innovator doesn’t worry about shipping an innovative product with elements of crappiness if it’s truly innovative. The first permutation of a innovation is seldom perfect–Macintosh, for example, didn’t have software (thanks to me), a hard disk (it wouldn’t matter with no software anyway), slots, and color. If a company waits–for example, the engineers convince management to add more features–until everything is perfect, it will never ship, and the market will pass it by.

Guilty as charged.

Read his entire entry though. The above clip isn’t the whole story.
