Exploration Through Example

Back in the old days, most of my Agile consulting was coming into well-performing Agile teams who wanted to talk about improving their testing. So I got to see a lot of seasoned teams. What struck me most, and made me happiest, was their stance toward their product and the product owner. Proud. Enthusiastic. Engaged.

Dave Hoover of Obtiva has been working on a product called Mad Mimi for some time. At my request, he’s collected some of his tweets about it. He exemplifies that attitude I so enjoy. To pique your interest, here are some samples:

Wow, @madmimi has had a great 24 hours. Seems like a tipping point is coming soon. Really exciting to witness this stuff first-hand.

In awe of @madmimi today. Went from $100k/year in revenue to $200k/year in revenue in just 2 months. Zero dollars spent on advertising, FTW!

Fell asleep at 9 last night in the living room “tent” with the boys. Up at 4 this morning. Couldn’t stop myself from hacking on @madmimi.

Twitter Driven Development: 13 days ago @misterpowell complained about @mailchimp’s RSS-to-Email. Today, @madmimi released its RSS-to-Email!

I’m so biased nowadays. Every newsletter I receive via Constant Contact makes my stomach turn. Hard not to reply with @madmimi evangelism.
