2. Getting Started
Start small and evolve
Give it your own identity
Don't underestimate the amount of change required
Don't wait until things are absolutely perfect before
you launch
Don't be precious about anything, this is a living,
breathing, evolving entity
Listen to your users, don't always direct
Never give up!!
