I recommend "to sell is human" by Daniel Pink to anyone unease about starting basic commercial interaction. I have received good feedback so far from those I recommended it to...
Yes. That and they optimize the pricing to squeeze as much profit from captive users (or those that don't know better). They increased the pricing for Evernote quite aggressively, and reduced the free features if I recall correctly. Selling to Bending Spoons is pretty much giving up and letting the vultures have a bite at the remains.
My sense is that all-in-one information repositories (or black holes if you're feeling less generous) are less of a thing than they used to be. Admittedly, my circles don't use Microsoft products a lot but, for example, I haven't heard OneNote come up in a conversation in years.
Thank you. It is hard not to be labeled as an Apple fan boy when I posit Musk and Jobs do not belong in the same category. Jobs made the point repeatedly about encouraging differences in opinins. Musk behaves as he's only surrounded by sycophants. He's high on his own hype.
My only comparison was that where most companies have layers of management and committees that deliver accordingly, both were able to cut through with their decrees.
It served Musk well earlier but Twitter has shown that he was lucky. It will be interesting to see how the Cybertruck fiasco impacts his ability to lead Tesla.
