On this week's episode of Inside Outside Innovation, we sit down with Andrew Gazdecki, Founder of MicroAcquire and Author of the new book Getting Acquired: How I Built and Sold My SaaS Startup. Andrew, and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey building MicroAcquire, and some of the insights he's seeing when it comes to buying and selling startups.Inside Outside Innovation is the podcast to help the new innovators navigate what's next. Each week. We'll give you a front row seat into what it takes to learn, grow, and thrive in today's world. Accelerating change and its certainty. Join us as we explore, engage and experiment with the best and the brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneering businesses.Interview Transcript with Andrew Gazdecki, Founder of MicroAcquire Brian Ardinger: Welcome to another episode of Inside Outside Innovation. I'm your host, Brian Ardinger. And as always, we have another amazing guest. Today, we have Andrew Gazdecki who is the founder of MicroAcquire. And Author of the new book Getting Acquired: How I Built and Sold My SaaS Startup. Welcome Andrew. Andrew Gazdecki: Thanks so much for having me, Brian. I'm excited. Brian Ardinger: I've got my MicroAcquire socks on. So, thank you for that. I'm super excited to have you on to talk about the craziness that is the startup world. And you've had a front row seat for a number of years as a multi-founder. And now with MicroAcquire, let's talk about what MicroAcquire is and how you got into the business of helping startups sell to other folks.Andrew Gazdecki: MicroAcquire, for those who aren't familiar with it, is the largest startup acquisition marketplace in the world today. We have about 150,000 buyers registered. We've helped over six hundred startups to get acquired that combined acquisition total is 400 million at this point. Almost half a billion. We don't charge any fees. So, you can sell your business on MicroAcquire completely free.So, I started that business, candidly, as a side project. I just felt that needed to exist. I'd previously gone through two acquisitions, and it was just a mess. Everything from finding the buyers to, there's so much education today on how to grow your business. How to learn sales. How to recruit. And how to fundraise. But then there's nothing on the exit. Which is arguably the most important part of the founder's journey.And when I sold my first business, which we can talk about, if you'd like, it was a business called Business Apps. Spelled BiznessApps, and kind of the light bulb moment went on when I sold it. I just got a ton of emails and texts from friends that we're also running startups and they were like, how'd you get acquired?Like, how did you find the buyer? What was the process like? It was like hieroglyphics everyone. Including myself when I went through the process. So, what we're really trying to do at MicroAcquire is democratize startup acquisitions and just make the process easier and more transparent for founders. And also, buyers.Brian Ardinger: So, talk a little bit about the types of startups that are being bought and sold on the platform. And how has that maybe changed since when you first launched? Andrew Gazdecki: Well, when we first launched, lots of small startups, you know ranging from, we would sell business, and we still do today, but 5k startups, mostly side projects. And since then, we've really expanded, I guess, up market. So, our largest acquisition is just under $10 million. We have buyers on the platform now that can facilitate acquisitions in the hundreds of millions if the value is there. Yeah, just started with humble beginnings just because I felt this was something that was so needed for the startup ecosystem. Because the other routes to sell your business, unless you're most founders think like Google shows up with a check and hey, you did it. Like you won the lottery. There's this saying most startups are bought, not sold and that's just not true. You know, you really need to sell your business. And so, the other routes were expensive, borderline highway robbery, and that's, that was really kind of like the main purpose of me launching MicroAcquire to really give another option for founders of this other business. And if you're curious about the other options, you can hire an investment banker. They're going to charge a big fee. If your startup is too small for an investment bank, because most investment banks will only work with you if your business is of a certain size. And you know, maybe you can get like eight, nine figure exit. And I had previously worked with an investment bank. And their minimum fee was $800,000 for a successful transaction. The short story there, we got a few offers, but the fee was just, I still had gas in the tank, so I kept going. But it showed me, and I remember telling the bankers, I was like, you guys have the coolest job in the world. I do all this work. And then at the end, you come in and get, you know, a nice payday. So that always kind of stuck with me. And then I stumbled on to business brokers. Business brokers, if your business is doing let's say less than you know 5 million in revenue. You can work with a business broker. They will typically charge 10 to 15% commission to sell your business. So, 10% to 15%. So that's like a small angel round. So, I just saw it. Okay. Business brokers don't do too much. You know, what would happen if we removed the middleman? And we let buyers and sellers connect directly. And we help businesses ranging from SaaS companies. That's kind of our sole focus. But we also sell a lot of e-commerce businesses. Communities. Some crypto companies. Direct to consumer. Newsletters. We like to say, we want to be the marketplace for profitable startups. So that's mainly our focus is startups that have traction. So, we don't list startups that are pre revenue. Content websites. Affiliate websites. Again, mostly focusing on businesses that have, you know, a lot of growth upside. Having a blast running it at the same time, too. Brian Ardinger: I'm hearing more and more about people using the platform, startup founders, maybe looking to buy a side project or a side hustle versus building something from scratch. Are you seeing that trend happening? Andrew Gazdecki: Yeah. Like one story that comes to mind is, there's builders and there's scalers. Where a lot of people love to build a business. They love to think of a new idea and bring something to life. And I think fallen, in both those buckets. Builders and scalers. And so people build these wonderful businesses, but they maybe build it to a certain point where they'd like to move on to something else.Maybe they built it to a few million in revenue and now they're, you know, mostly managing. When they'd really like to be building. And so MicroAcquire is a great outlet for them to meet buyers within like hours. Like the fastest acquisition on my group, where I was within, quite literally hours. Those are obviously outliers. Brian Ardinger: What are you seeing when it comes to valuation trends and things along those lines? How's the market changed or what shifts are you seeing? Andrew Gazdecki: Yeah, good question. It really depends on the business. So, a good business will always trade at really good multiples. SaaS trades at high multiples and e-commerce. Newsletters communities also trade lower than, you know, a typical SaaS business.So, there's so much variability. And when I get asked questions like I have a SaaS company, it's doing a million revenue. What's it worth. That's kind of akin to asking what a car is worth. You know, like, is there a 500,000 miles on it? Does it need a new transmission? Do you have a good team in place? What is your churn? What is the quality of your customers? And then other little things like when you go to sell your business, do you have an understanding of kind of what your business is worth? And on MicroAcquire, we have two different things that we do to help with valuations. One is we have a directory within MicroAcquire where you can hire someone to get a real valuation done.I highly recommend that. And then we also have a tool called MicroMRR. And you should go to micromrr.com and you connect your Stripe billing. And we'll actually give you a data-driven valuation based on what we're seeing from acquisitions happening in the market. So, acquisitions are a moving target. I'd say maybe there could be a slowdown coming.I know the public markets for trading believe like 22X, and then they dropped down to 12X and this is April. Those might climb back. But the last year was absolutely borderline bonkers in terms of. It was record numbers in terms of private equity activity. Just MNA activity in general. So, it's a good time to sell your business if you're looking to. Brian Ardinger: I'd love to hear a little bit more about how you came to create MicroAcquire. I mean, I know early on you even did some interesting marketing. Went viral. You had the Russ Hanneman character from Silicon Valley TV show, do a little viral stuff on Twitter. Talking about MicroAquire and that. Can you talk a little bit about your idea of how you got it started and the execution to get MicroAcquire off the ground?Andrew Gazdecki: Honest answer is, so I like to work within a frame. I'm not a big fan of like mental frameworks. That, you know, maybe other people put forth. But so, I'm always thinking of what worked five years ago or what worked 10 years ago does not work today. And so that's why you'll see, I'm always trying to market in a way that doesn't feel like marketing. But it also adds value and maybe even makes you laugh and stuff like that.A lot of startups today think that their main competitor is XYZ company. But it's really the 500,000 startups out there. So, you're competing for consumer attention. I'm a big believer in that. And so, we focus a lot on brand-building. Just sharing MicroAcquire story. Kind of everything. So, when I first launched it, I was working probably like 4:00 AM to like midnight. And the only way, so going back to kind of like how I think about and what I recommend founders think about when they first launch a startup is this won't come as a surprise. But find something you're passionate about. So, and then also find something that you have a unique insight into. So, I made a bet that entrepreneurship through acquisition was going to be a trend. And that was just through me going through two different acquisitions. And I was actually looking to buy a SaaS company. And I couldn't find anything that was specific to SaaS. I didn't like working with brokers. I wanted to speak directly to the founder because it's a very relationship type transaction. And it's not just here's the keys. You know, I want to know about the founder. I want to know why are they looking to sell? And so, I kind of just created what I feel acquisition should be. And I kind of built MicroAcquire in a way that thinking back on Bizness Apps is a 10 million a year revenue company. What would it take for me to list on a marketplace? So, we implemented things like privacy ability to connect. Financial metrics. You give buyer a good, healthy snapshot into the view of your business. To get it off the ground, I mean, a lot of podcasts. A lot of cold emails. Hanging out on live chat, 24 7. And I don't recommend this to founders, but again, going back to my previous point is before I launched MicroAcquire, I wrote down, what customer do I want to serve?And I've been an entrepreneur my whole life. I love startups. And kind of a startup nerd. I love looking at new businesses. And I built this company. And so when I work on it kind of feels like a video game. It's not work. And if you can put yourself in that situation with some unique insights into a market. It's a customer that you love. And then unique insights kind of fall in line with what I describe as founder market fit. So why you. So, I think of why now. Why you. As probably the two most important things. I had a deep conviction that acquisitions are going to be increasing. And that proved to be right. So that was a non-obvious bet to a lot of people, but obvious to me. That became obvious over time. But when you're able to build a startup in a way that you enjoy playing, running, whatever you want to describe it. More than your favorite video game. You kind of want, cause it's really hard to compete against a founder that where it feels like work.My best analogy there is if you, I see a lot of founders creating startups around what I'd call like opportunistic opportunities. Where, you know, it's a good idea, but maybe you build a CRM for dentists. But you hate dentists. And a big part of building a startup is talking to customers all the time. I'm a big believer that your customers have path to product market fit. They have a better roadmap than you do. And so, you need to be able to talk to these customers and enjoy these conversations and really listen to them. Otherwise, there's someone out there who's going to love those conversations and it's just going to be really hard to compete. But it all kind of revolves around happiness. Where the founders that I think go the distance really enjoy what they do day in day out.And that's not to say it's super easy. Like just cause it's fun, it's easy. Like a video game. Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's easy. I think that's kind of the key that a lot of the founders should be thinking about is, is this a business I could run for a decade? If so, why? And kind of dip your toes in the water.Like when I launched my group, I didn't have grandiose visions for it. I just wanted to help other founders get acquired without these huge commissions. And then as the business grew, it became pretty obvious that the market opportunity was fairly large. Yeah, basically kind of grew forth. I knew this was something that the startup community needed, and I just worked.I was doing customer support. Vetting the listings. Writing the newsletters. Managing the product. Going on podcasts like this. Social media content. In a weird way, and now I have a team that helps me with all that stuff, but in a weird way, I kind of look back and I miss those days. Brian Ardinger: Well, it's never really been a better time to be an entrepreneur because you have a lot of these new No-code tools. And ways to spin up experiments. And like you said, dip your toe in the water. And you have access to a lot more information. You know, I think 10 to 15 years ago, the whole VC world was not very transparent. But now, you know, you can read blogs and books and figure out that particular path if you're an entrepreneur. It sounds like you're trying to do the same thing for on the acquisition side. Breathe some life into what that path looks like and that. So, let's talk a little bit about the book you just wrote, Getting Acquired: How I Built and Sold my SaaS Startup. What can people expect to find in it? And why did you write the book? Andrew Gazdecki: I started BiznessApps again, spoke B I Z N E S S apps. My mom, this is kind of a funny footnote, but everyone called it BizApps. So, I ended up chasing down owner of the domain, BizApps. When your mom calls your business BizApp, and you don't have the domain, you got to go get it.But I started that business when I was 21 in college. And also going back to unique insights. I had a previous business that helped mobile developers connect to businesses. So, I saw businesses posting the same job requirement over and over and over. And I thought, whoa, they're paying like 50K to 100K for like a project like this?What if I just built a template and the functionality isn't really changed too much. But we just changed the content. Imagery. Which speeds up mobile app creation. Makes it more affordable. There's do yourself website builders at the time. And I thought, what about a do yourself mobile app builder for small businesses?So, the book is just kind of my story. I just journaled through the whole experience because it was very strange and surreal. I was 21 when I launched it. Just to give you kind of an idea of like the growth of it. And it was a right place, right time business. I got completely lucky. The iPhone had just come out. Android wasn't even there. Blackberry was still in the mix. We almost made a Blackberry app. I'm glad we didn't. But it's just my candid experience building that company, from idea all the way to the invested. So, it's not a book of here's how to build a startup. It's more of a book of here's how I built a startup with mistakes. Everything from when I thought of the idea to when I sold the business and everything in between. Brian Ardinger: Can you highlight some of the best or worst advice that you got on that journey.Andrew Gazdecki: I was so young. So, I was 23, 24, and I personally didn't grow up with too much means if you will. And so, I remember there's a specific situation. We needed a marketing hire. And I was handling most of the marketing. And the salary ranges, now I'm two years out of college and they were in like the 150K, 200K range.And I'm like, what am I going to pay someone that. Like you really need, one of my favorite quotes is, you know, talent wins games, but teamwork when championships. It's a Michael Jordan quote. So, I think, you know, hiring smarter people than me, was probably my biggest mistake. Also, a funny story. This is a true story. We had a period where we were again, because we didn't hire a really good marketer that could track in our paid ad spend and stuff like that. We were spending over a hundred thousand a month on Google ads. The business grew from zero to let's call it 7 million in the first five years. So it was just, everything was just kind of like, don't touch anything. We don't know what's working. But it's working. And it was so profitable. And our customer payback period was like 33 days. And for the first two years, our margins were about 90%. So, it was just extremely profitable. But when we finally hired someone to do analysis on how profitable is this pay-per-click ad campaign, we concluded basically we were burning about 90,000 out of that a hundred thousand. So, we call that era blowing up Ferrari's every month. So, every month we were blowing $90,000 because we weren't properly attributing our marketing spend to customer acquisition. And blowing up a Ferrari every month probably would have been cooler. Maybe not that would have hurt my heart because I'm a big car fan. But and I share all of that. I share the ups and the downs. And I think it's just a candid story of just what it's like to build a startup. Mistakes and wins included. Brian Ardinger: So, looking at the world today, what are some of the resources that you would recommend that startup founders be checking out or paying attention to?Andrew Gazdecki: I get a lot of really good insight just talking to other startup founders. I'm not a big podcast listener. I read a lot. Like this was kind of some books I'm reading and there's my book on top, like Play Bigger. It's a book about brand-building. From Impossible to Inevitable, that's a great book on how to build a SaaS company end to end. It goes over marketing, building a sales team, just written by Jason Lampkin and Aaron Ross from Predictable Revenue.And then a Tuned In, which is basically how to listen to customers. You know, you can talk to customers. But how do you really listen and get the insights you need? So, I always say that customers have a way better roadmap to product market fit than you. You just need to talk to them and listen. So, I could give you a number of different books, but I'm an avid reader. That's kind of where I get a lot, but I will say you definitely learn the most when you launch a startup. When you kind of just, you can read all the books in the world, but when you finally launch a startup, that's when the real learning begins.And also like you kind of get in a situation of, I launched a startup. Okay, now I really need to figure out marketing. And so now you're very motivated to figure out marketing and apply some of the concepts that's right, that you might read in some of these books. Brian Ardinger: That's great advice. And I encourage anybody who's even thinking about it. The tools and the resources are out there to try things nowadays that maybe you couldn't have tried in the past. Even if you fail, you've probably leveled up your skills and game considerably than if you just read about it. So, encourage is that as well. My last question is what are you most excited about working on the next three to six months? Andrew Gazdecki: I'd say just helping startups and founders get acquired. We have a goal to help a thousand startups, get acquired this year. So far, we're on track for that. We average about 100 a month. So, we'll probably beat that goal. And what's interesting about startups and you start something, and it goes really slow, but stick with it. And then kind of takes off because we've done more acquisitions this year alone than we did in the first two years of being in business.So, what gets me excited is just helping founders. And we're building tooling to help acquisitions. To really streamline them and really educate founders on what is due diligence. What are the legal steps? How do I transfer assets? How do I do technical due diligence on code if I'm looking to acquire a business? How does escrow work? What are common deal terms? So, if you go to MicroAcquire, click resources at the top. You can literally learn how to acquire a 100-million-dollar business. We have so much content. And that's just kind of like something I felt was so needed because it's such an opaque topic that not too many people write about. So, I definitely recommend checking that out.

The company was fined €25 million ($A41 million). Apple also “committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission”. The consumer electronics giant is worth almost two trillion dollars, so the $41 million fine is unlikely to be felt too heavily. The fine is around 0.002 per cent of the company’s worth. If you were given a similar fine, it would only cost you about $20.Remembrances10 February 1891 – Sofya Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofya_KovalevskayaBorn Sofya Vasilyevna Korvin-Krukovskaya, Russian mathematician who made noteworthy contributions to analysis, partial differential equations and mechanics.

As was the practice of MGM shorts at the time, only Rudolf Ising is credited. The short, Puss Gets the Boot, featured a cat named Jasper and an unnamed mouse, named Jinx in pre-production, and an African American housemaid named Mammy Two Shoes. Leonard Maltin described it as "very new and special [...] that was to change the course of MGM cartoon production" and established the successful Tom and Jerry formula of comical cat and mouse chases with slapstick gags. Matters changed, however, when Texas businesswoman Bessa Short sent a letter to MGM asking whether more cat and mouse shorts would be produced, which helped convince management to commission a series. A studio contest held to rename both characters was won by animator John Carr, who suggested Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse after the Christmas time drink. Carr was awarded a first-place prize of $50.10 February 1957 – Attack Of The Crab Monsters clawed its way to theatres. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Crab_MonstersOn this day in 1957, Attack Of The Crab Monsters made audiences afraid to go back into the water. The feature starred Richard Garland and Pamela Duncan, and here's the plot summary: "Scientists become trapped on a shrinking island with intelligent, murderous giant crabs.” Attack of the Crab Monsters was Corman's most profitable production up to that time, which he attributed to the "wildness of the title," the construction of the storyline, the structuring of every scene for horror and suspense, and editing for pace. Corman has stated that the success of the film convinced him that horror and humor was an effective combination.10 February 1972 – Ziggy Stardust makes his earthly debut - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/ziggy-stardust-makes-his-earthly-debutThe concert at London’s Toby Jug pub a relatively minor rocker named David Bowie became the spaceman Ziggy Stardust. “I’m going to be huge,” is what David Bowie told Melody Maker less than three weeks earlier and still six months prior to the release of the albumThe Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. “And it’s quite frightening in a way, because I know that when I reach my peak and it’s time for me to be brought down it will be with a bump.” That last bit may have been a case of Bowie confusing his Ziggy persona with real life, but that was what put the act over in the first place. Any rock musician can put on a costume, but how many could have inhabited the identity of an androgynous Martian rock star come to Earth in its dying days so convincingly, so effortlessly.10 February 1996 – World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov loses game to computer. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/kasparov-loses-chess-game-to-computerAfter three hours, world chess champion Garry Kasparov loses the first game of a six-game match against Deep Blue, an IBM computer capable of evaluating 200 million moves per second. Man was ultimately victorious over machine, however, as Kasparov bested Deep Blue in the match with three wins and two ties and took home the $400,000 prize. An estimated 6 million people worldwide followed the action on the Internet. The February 1996 contest was significant in that it represented the first time a human and a computer had duked it out in a regulation, six-game match, in which each player had two hours to make 40 moves, two hours to finish the next 20 moves and then another 60 minutes to wrap up the game.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

We chat to Inez, Ridhwana & Lara about the Ladies that UX communities in Cape Town, and as of today Johannesburg. Chantal, Kenneth & Kevin are joined by the dynamic trio of Inez Patel, Ridhwana Khan & Lara Pietersen to talk about UX and the local Ladies that UX meetups in Cape Town and now Johannesburg. User Experience (UX) is an integral part of design, be it in the physical world or the digital world. It is the practice of putting the user first, creating empathy for the users of your systems. "If the user can't use it, it doesn't work" -- Susan Dray Lizzie Dyson and Georgie Bottomley, both UX (User Experience) professionals, loved their jobs but there was always a doubt about where the other women in the industry were. So they started the first Ladies that UX meetup in Manchester, UK, and it exploded. Lara was looking for an international community to connect with when she discovered Ladies that UX and it _stuck_. The Cape Town LTUX meetup is the first African chapter of LTUX, started by Lara. Inez and co-organizer Ridhwana launched the Johannesburg chapter of Ladies that UX on the 31st of August 2017. We hear from Inez, Ridhwana & Lara about their general experiences as women in tech, and why community events are so important to support each other. With Ladies that UX having over 50 chapters around the world, it gives also enables them and other community members to connect with each other. Both events focus on creating a safe and inclusive space for woman in the UX field to connect, share & learn from each other. Each event follows a slightly format, from lean coffee and/or cocktails to workshops and presentations. We also chat to Ridhwana about her upcoming TechWomen trip to the US, and how she'll use her that LTUX connections to meet inspiring women over there, and then bring all her learning back to share with the LTUX community back here. We wish her all the best with her journey! In close we ask each guest to relate with us some advice for incorporating UX into our work. The suggestions are great, go have a listen.

两封非常深入的听众反馈,Rio 的 Apple Watch(负面)体验,和《IT 公论》「抢生意」的 Vox + LOOP,以及 Mike Matas 新作、Facebook 的 Instant Articles。 每月三十元,支持不鸟万如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。若您无意入会,但喜欢某一期节目,也欢迎用支付宝支付小费(建议金额:一元、五元或十元人民币):hi@itgonglun.com 或扫描下方二维码。 上期节目播出之后,我们收到了两封非常深入的用户反馈。长期以来,电邮是我们和各位会员主要的交流方式。这次的两封邮件令我们深信电邮比论坛、通讯群、和各类线上社区更能催生细致而理性的讨论。我们也为拥有像各位一样的朋友感到骄傲。 Facebook 近日推出的 Instant Articles 功能无疑是吸引媒体全身心拥抱 Facebook 的又一招杀手锏。Facebook 想对美国的媒体做微信对中国媒体做的事情,它野心更大,且毫不掩饰。 一言以蔽之,Instant Articles 是网页文章的美图秀秀。它不仅让网页在 Facebook 的原生软件(目前只对 iPhone 版生效)里能够排出美观、无边框、富于交互性的版式,还大大提升了文章的加载速度——大概是一秒和七秒的区别。虽然这些文章最终是给读者看的,但 Instant Articles 功能面对的「用户」是媒体:《纽约时报》、BuzzFeed 等等。目前若想体验该功能的效果,请在 Facebook.app 里搜索 BuzzFeed,找到题为「13 Steps to Instantly Improve Your Day」的文章点开即可。 几个月前传出了 Facebook 试图邀请部分媒体将内容托管在 Facebook 里的新闻。条件不可谓不优厚:Facebook 负担所有的流量费用,免费提供技术支持。媒体销售人员卖出的广告 Facebook 分文不取;Facebook 销售人员替媒体卖出的广告,七成分给媒体。如今 Instant Articles 一出,连版式设计与用户体验的问题都帮你解决好了。简单来说,对于一线媒体而言,选择与 Facebook 合作不仅可以省去不少流量与技术维护成本,拿到现成的活跃渠道,还可以让你的页面读起来更舒服,加载速度更快。似乎完全没有拒绝的理由。媒体一旦入局,保留自己专门的 URL 和网站的意义就不多了。 这有点像前些年发生在企业软件领域的事。原本死都不放心把公司电邮放在别人家服务器的 IT 主管,渐渐意识到把电邮、日历、地址本业务外包给 Google(Google Apps)要比自己辛苦维护靠谱得多。从「自己动手丰衣足食」(Not invented here)到「让专业人做专业事」是 IT 领域的大势所趋。 媒体不擅长什么?做网站、维护网站、做 app、维护 app——最好的工程师很少会去媒体上班。这些事交给 Facebook 去做绝对是正确的选择。但别忘了还有一句口水话叫「如果不付费,你就不是用户,而是被卖掉的产品」。这对于活人成立,对于企业同样成立。免费享用 Facebook 一流技术服务以及流量必定会有代价,这代价就是丧失控制权。 控制什么?首先是表现形式。Instant Articles 再好看,也只不过是一种以不变应万变(one size fits all)的解决方案。面对各家媒体在品牌形象和设计上的多样需求,Facebook 愿意配合定制到哪一步,目前尚不可知。必须明白的一点是,「定制」和软件天生就存在矛盾。定制就是专有,就是不可复用,这和软件代码的诉求截然相反。手工艺品与西装的定制被传为佳话,而如果你写一个软件偏要用全世界没多少人用的定制技术,吃苦的肯定是你自己。这种本质性的悖论决定了工程思维主导的产品无法实现彻底的定制。对于重视自己独特表现形式的媒体,这是需要仔细考虑的。 更重要的是对读者信息的控制。运营过微信公众账号的朋友知道,你能看到哪些用户关注了你,但看不到她们的微信号。换言之,假如某位用户取消了关注,你就永久性地失去了她。你的电脑上不会有一个大大的装满读者资料的 Excel 表格。在我看来,Facebook 同样没有任何动机将用户信息提供给媒体。这对媒体而言是致命的。 从读者的角度说,不妨想一下你更愿意把个人信息交给哪一方。传统智慧认为 Facebook 靠卖你的信息为生,但媒体难道不是?要想让自己心安,付钱是唯一保险的办法。一手交钱,一手交货,就是这么简单。这种小卖部卖香烟的商业模式听起来可能不够酷,但不要忘记你是一个听为成年人准备的科技播客的成年人。酷不酷这种事,就用著名 funk 乐队 Tower of Power 一九七三年的经典《What is Hip》来说明吧: So you became part of the new breed Been smokin’ only the best weed Been hangin’ out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain’t quite right What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip?

科学与玄学,妓女使用 Periscope 做生意的权利,Kong 丑吗?,以及李如一吃 Soylent 摔破头的经历。 每月三十元,支持李如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 有听众希望我们聊聊 xkcd 的这个漫画,刚好上周又有朋友来信对 Rio 说的「24-bit/96khz 音乐格式难道不是已经被证明是个 joke 吗?」表示反对,两件事可以放在一起谈。 漫画讽刺的是审美和品鉴,或者说审美和品鉴行为中的不确定性。这个话题总有人觉得争不出结果:一方觉得艺术有高下之分简直不需要证明,另一方……另一方最讨厌不能被证明的东西。Rio 说如果一个人无法通过品红酒的双盲测试,至少说明他所做出的任何关于红酒品质的判断都对未来不具备指导意义。这倒是和 Joshua Engel 在 Quora 答的这道题异曲同工。艺术没有用,自然也不可能有什么指导意义。此外艺术还最喜欢不可预测的、危险的东西。不过李如一和 Rio 至少确认了一点:「正确」即不是艺术的目的,也不是科学的目的。 脑筋活络的家伙用 Periscope 直播《Game of Thrones》,居然还真有人看。让我想起了大学时在学校门外的录像厅看盗版《黑客帝国》的事——画质与那份热血少年迫不及待的心情大概都类似。记住,什么片子都非要 1080p 才看的时候,就是你老去的时候。毫无疑问,这位盗火者的 Periscope 账号随后即被封禁。盗版可耻,VCD 画质的盗版同样可耻。但随着科技公司的势力逐渐膨胀,似乎也需要思考一下权力边界的问题。若是娼妓合法化的国家有性工作者想用 Periscope 视频直播谋生,但被 Periscope 以违反用户条款的理由封禁,孰是孰非?最怕政府权力扩张的朋友会立即指出 Periscope 作为商业公司有权歧视用户——只要愿意承担相应后果。但假如 Periscope 在视频直播领域呈一家独大之势,不论是否违法,事实上都会造成性工作者对这一新技术的 access 受损。而 access 恰恰是技术公司最热衷于标榜的东西。 前途无亮的社交玩具 Path 最近推出了名字让人摸不着头脑的新玩具 Kong,从域名 kong.wtf 到视觉设计都大胆恣意地无视硅谷流行的简约优雅(小)清新风。标新立异当然不是没有后果,中文世界似乎已经用一个「丑」字把它打入了冷宫。但 Kong 真的丑吗?你究竟是因为它丑而不喜欢,还是因为你那基于 Path 的设计风格而形成的期待被踩成了七彩碎片而不喜欢?如果能分清这两件事,这封信开头提到的艺术鉴赏的问题也就不是问题了。你能吃高级日式料理,也能吃街边的牛杂,当然你也能够领会 Kong 那「打到埋身」的冲击美感。 美国的听众或许很多人都尝过 Soylent 了?这是一种用来取代「真正的食物」的代餐饮料。粉末冲剂简单方便,价格廉宜,实乃脑力工作者居家旅行必备良友——生产它的公司 Rosa Labs 是这么希望的。这家公司的口号叫「engineering future foods」,而他们也真有在食品生产和研发上贯彻软件工程的做法。每一代 Soylent 都有版本号(最新的是 1.4),说明书叫 release notes,配方开源,鼓励大家去 fork。不过和所有开源的东西一样,Soylent 的入门成本不低。我在过去一周为了实验纯 Soylent 饮食会带来什么后果,已经被迫把自己变成了一位营养学民科。即便如此,还是没能在自己的能量输出和输入之间找到平衡——请各位照字面意思理解:由于血糖不足,前天我坐在沙发上看了一集《Silicon Valley》后站起来不省人事晕倒在地,左边额头上结的痂就是证据。这当然只能怪我自己营养学功课做得不到位,但难道吃 Soylent 的目的不是为了节省时间吗?我过去一周花在思考吃什么以及吃多少上的时间可远远超过了从前。说到底还是当了好奇心的奴隶。开源的东西,省钱或许可以,怎么可能省下时间?食品界可一点不缺各种封装好的库和 XX-as-a-Service,而且各种风味任君选择,低俗如 Kong 者——例如纽约的 Papaya King 热狗店——也有大批拥趸。Rio 的经典比喻:只靠 Soylent 过活的我,就像一只没有电量指示灯的 Apple Watch:饥饿是常态,但永远不知道什么时候算是吃饱了。 李如一最近在玩的 app(Rio 最近没有玩什么 app) Dark Echo Highball 最近我们读的一些文章 David Tod Roy 的英译本《金瓶梅》是堪比《计算机程序设计艺术》的宏伟工程 1990 年代的三款经典女性主义游戏重见天日,李如一也有捐 Kickstarter 哦 相关链接 《Byte》杂志上的「智能手表」 Dan Lavry: Sampling Theory For Digital Audio (PDF) The Science of Sample Rates (When Higher Is Better — And When It Isn’t xkcd: Connoisseur Joe Biden UCSD 的作曲家梁雷利用黄宾虹的画作曲 Insex(蜘蛛系列) Kong 内核恐慌第十五期:数据可视化与交互设计 Papaya King(李如一在节目里没想起名字的热狗店) Soylent Nectar Soylent 创始人最初的实验报告(2013) 《纽约客》对 Soylent 的报道:The End of Food 味之道 nvALT Notational Velocity Ubuntu Linux from Scratch Silicon Valley(美剧) Michael Pollan: In Defense of Food Phytochemical 人物简介 李如一:字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。
