(Founder Stories) Eric Ries: How Lean Was The Google Launch?
In the final episode of?Chris Dixon's?interview with?The Lean Startup?author?Eric Ries, Dixon asks him whether Google was "lean" when it rolled out Google+? Dixon says in some ways it appeared so, as Google was slowly "rolling out a bunch of different things, experimenting, versus let's say Buzz and Wave." Ries partially agrees but also replies "I still think they did a lot of unnecessary hype at the beginning and they kept reporting on their vanity metrics: 'Now we've got 10 million users on Google+.' That makes me really nervous. How many engaged users are there?"Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/IfqI_JVaY6w/
