Define success as living well
rather than net worth83% Value their time
more than their money63%
Something that has struck me in reading over the many, many user interviews is the difference between how people think about their news day and how they actually live it
Give a lot of air time to the morning, mention sampling throughout the day
But when you add up all that sampling it makes for a wave -- especially when we start we consider the collective power of timezones
It doesnt mean you dont create products that serve the morning
It means you dont underestimate the power of being there at other houes too
Cnn was crazy 24 news? And love or hate what it did to our world, it worked
