I'm a big @bencera_ fan. I met w/ him for lunch when he visited SF ~3 weeks ago and he showed me an early version of Facefeed, inspired by his other product, Context (http://www.trycontext.com/, http://www.producthunt.co/posts/272), which I use daily.
Facefeed is fun and knowing how fast and experimental Ben is, I'm excited to see where he takes it.
Aww, shucks.
@bencera_ - I'm curious what the average day in the life of Ben is like. Being a one man dev team, how do you decide what to build and do on a daily basis?
i'm passionate about building products people love. i ask a lot of feedback to my users and try to adapt to that. Engineering is easy, Figuring out what people get addicted to is harder :)
@bencera_ - love that. What's awesome about your products (Context and Facefeed) is that you have a direct line to your users. In fact, I could geek out about that topic but I'll leave that for our next lunch meetup. :)
Speaking of "addictive" products (although perhaps habit-forming is a more altruistic/positive adjective), which products or entrepreneurs are you inspired by?
@rrhoover like in rap these days, the best ones are the mainstreams :) i'm super inspired by Snapchat (Evan is soo smart), tinder (Sean Rad gets it), Naveen and Dennis at Foursquare did an incredible job at real world gamification also. And of course the crazy attention to details in User Experience that Kevin and Mike at Instagram showed.
Just got my first facefeed from @garyvee. We should get him in here, @bencera_. :)
Ben- Surprisingly, I have yet to see a penis. How are you moderating the content?
