One of the interesting things about the recent splurge of Newspaper Club publicity and commentary is that we find out what everyone thinks we’re doing. There’s a ton of fantastic ideas out there about newspapers, curation, community, printing, all that. The only problem is, they’re all better than what we’re doing. We’re not trying to disrupt the newspaper business, we’re just trying for something interesting to the side of the newspaper business. So if you’re excited about what we’re up to, calm down, it probably won’t be that good.
Having said that here’s the news from today’s status meeting:
The Art Department Win At Status
Because they’ve found someone who can do extremely limited runs of a newspaper (around 20 or less) for an affordable price. Only black and white, but still, we can make a product out of that. We’re going to pushing a demo product through that in the next couple of days, it’ll look ugly but it’ll work.
Engineering Come Second
Because Tom has had his coding face on all week, just grinding forward, making things work.
Sales & Marketing Come Last
Because I haven’t really done anything useful.
In other news, Tom made jam.
