There comes a time in every web apps life when it´s time to evaluate the business concept of the grand idea. For some companies this evaluation ends with a shut down of the service. But not for us. We have been fortunate, lucky and probably skilled enough to attract a growing user base. With so many people using Yast, we´ve been able to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas of future development.
Why?

Guest blog by Silverfox: It’s been suggested that no one seems to have a normal job in San Francisco. Perhaps what we’re seeing is a fundamental shift in what having a job and building a business means these days.

In my previous post, Mission 1, I raised my first and most fundamental question of coming to San Francisco. Is our global approach an illusion, or is it common in USA? And my starting point is our partners at Appdirect. I did not exactly know what I would gain by sitting next to them, just assumed that being somewhere they talk about apps all the time would result in a greater knowledge of our industry.

So we all mess up sometimes. But it´s not every day you get copycats doing it. But in this case we might have a big copycat. At least we like to think so.

The winner of last week “User Of The Week” award goes to a yet unnamed person as we only have the email adress. But the reasoning for the award is none the less the same. We really appreciate it when users take the time to visualize their ideas. It makes it easer for us and we can immediately see if this would work or not. And the fact there are few design savy persons in the Yast crew, makes it even better when we get someone with obvious skills in design to draw the lines. Like this:
