Ask The Ubers Of Dirty Underwear & Snail Mail
Posted by Emma McGowan on Oct 3, 2013
Ev Williams – also known as the founder of this weird little company called Twitter – spoke at the XOXO conference in Portland recently about how to get rich online. While we all want to think that coming up with the new, innovative thing is the way to do it, Williams pointed out that the real moneymakers aren’t the guys coming up with crazy cool new products.
They’re simply the guys (and girls) who are figuring out how to do the things everyone is already doing but, you know, better .
Williams cited Uber (the distinctly tech-age taxi service) as an example of a company that has taken an old problem (getting from point A to point B) and applied a new solution to it. Uber is definitely a great example and it got me thinking: Who else is following the new solution/old problem model?
Or, another way to put it, how can I be as lazy as possible?
