Two things kept me up all last night: 1. "Respect the Opportunity" - this is one of Google's values where I worked for the last 6 years. It keeps echoing in my brain.

My original tweet from Monday now has over 3000 likes, my inbox is full. This is a huge opportunity, and I want to give it the best shot I can.

I finally finished @andrewchen's Cold Start Problem book that he graciously mailed to me a few weeks ago. What an amazing book - I nearly ran out of Hi-Liter and stickies. My top takeaways: The Math of Meerkats: In the mathematics of animal populations, there is a concept called the Allee Threshold. Under the threshold, the population of animals will collapse because they can’t warn each other of dangers.

I just read "No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram" by @sarahfrier which was published this April. Great book about Instagram's origin story, and the company's journey inside Facebook.

A few things that stood out for me: 🧵 My overall takeaway is Instagram's cofounders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, sold too early. Instagram had ~12M users when they sold to Facebook, but had grown to that size rapidly after its launch just 18 months earlier.

I finally finished reading "Attention Factory: The Story of TikTok and China's ByteDance" by @mbrennanchina - very interesting book and pretty relevant to my job. A few takeaways I wanted to share:

👇 ByteDance's co-founder/CEO Yiming Zhang comes off as likeable and nerdy. How did he choose his Nankai university? He figured he could find a girlfriend there, and it was close to ocean to get fresh seafood which he valued in his home province of Fujian.

I played around with a few of the new COVID-era remote working tools everyone's talking about. Here's my take: 1/9 Tandem (tandem.chat) is pretty cool. It simulates an office environment by streaming your audio and video to everyone in real time, and letting you share files, links, and your screen easily. 2/9

Consumer product startups have to bake a viral channel into their product from the get-go. They can’t merely glue it on later. Here are 9 ways to build virality into your product: medium.com/gabor/9-ways-t… 1/14 YCombinator’s @sama says your product has to be “so good that users spontaneously recommend it to their friends.” It’s true that people don’t recommend crappy products. But you can do a lot to nudge users to invite others. 2/14
