Thanks @jason, you just ruined my productivity! Chrome extension is slick and way too effective. Would be nice if one of the top stories is automatically expanded on the top with the first few lines of the story. Makes it even more immersive when opening a new tab.

@woutervanlent The designs for a single top story is in the works. Glad you guys confirmed the idea, cause it was a bit of a debate at the Inside office. It's a go now!

Product Hunt

Love the new tab Chrome extension. @andreasklinger built a Chrome extension for Product Hunt that displays the day's top products before he joined the team. @jason - I'm really interested in your strategy to build separate apps for different topics (e.g. Inside Drones). How do you choose which category to move into next?

@rrhoover I can see a lot of similar aspects on its strategy and PH's horizontalization. It's a big challenge to new products scale like this, since they grew its users community based on a central subject or market... We'll face exactly the same on our new product and I'm studying a lot about it, specially to build a more distributed users' base. Any thoughts or reference materials on it?

@rrhoover we did a lot of vertical at weblogs inc, and it was all very experiemental. We did a Wifi Blog, then an Apple blog (tuaw.com!), a World of Warcraft blog, and stumbled in Engadget, Joystiq and Autoblog. I never thought the big categories would work, i thought we were going to be a b2b publisher. that was my goal! then Engadget exploded and we have a foothold... and we built form that base to video games. then TVSquare and Cinematical. that's what we're doing at Inside.com right now... experimenting. we've got minor traction in a couple of places, but we need to get out "engadget" moment going... and i think TLDR might be it.

@jason love it, I'm using CycleTab to cycle between your TL;DR extension and the PH extension. A quick feature request/idea too - marking stories as read and hiding them from view

@jason I love inside on my phone. It's a great example of an app that's valuable just for the notifications. Question: How do you think about cooperation with competitors? I'm thinking about as a startup works on a really hard unsolved problem there's certainly things to be learned from others trying to solve the same problem. For you personally, how do you think about cooperation with others doing news, conferences, etc.?

@jfilcik @jason generally speaking, startups are so focused on doing one thing right in the product/market fit phase there is no time for partnerships. However, if you have product market fit, well, sure.... it's time to rock and roll and find partners.

Jason, big fan of the TWIST show! Can you tell more about your friendship with Elon Musk (eg how did you meet, what did you learn)? Must have been quite scary to preorder a car if you knew that Tesla was struggling.

@seysconstantijn we met through mutual friends like David Sacks and Adeo Ressi 10+ years ago now; he's a really special guy and I care about him a lot. He pushes himself so hard, which is obvious, but he's also a great father and wildly supportive friend. Super loyal, like Mark Cuban and David Sacks and Chamath. He's done so many favors for so many of his friends that no one hears about... and the dude is so slammed right now. he's a really good person and he's the probably the best entrepreneur i've met in my entire life -- and i've met them all (including gates and Jobs).

@jason, What would it take to get you to Cleveland for Industry 2016? ;-) We had 250 product people from 14 states and 6 countries this past September for Industry 2015 (2015.indsum.com). Modest beginnings, but we have big ambitions. And I'd make sure that we treat you real well here in the CLE. What do you say?

@belsito I rarely travel for speaking gigs... i have so much going on in NorCal. The exceptions are: a) a friend/partner like Tyler/IBM/Troy Carter (today) asks me to help their event, b) the audience for my talk is 2x bigger than my own stage (which is 2,500+ folks at LaunchFestival.com). otherwise, it's just too much time/effort for too low of payoff for my audience/teams. my appearances are a primary resource to @inside and @launch teams, so we have to think "does this get us a bigger push/help more founders than doing another episode of This Week in Startups?" etc. when i was in my 20s and 30s i took every speaking gig... which is how i got myself into this mess!!! :-p

@jason @belsito Makes sense! But I had to ask. If you have solid recommendations on speakers for this year, let me know. Really came hard with Industry 2015. Nir Eyal. Trevor Owens. Mina Radharsihnan. A dozen more. It was great.

@belsito Mike - having just got off the high of attending Launch Scale pretty much anyone on the agenda there would appear to be a fit for Industry 2016, including a number of 20-30 year old founders. If there's something specific (topic/role) you're looking for I'd be happy to make a reco from what we heard out there. http://www.launchscale.net/agenda/

This is pretty cool and I love the name. Excited to see where this goes. As an easily distracted kinda user I think I'd prefer to see these headlines 1 at a time in iOS perhaps on cards? I'm a little too distracted by the next headline to take them in one at a time as it is.

@rickmesser Hey Rick. We are working on a new version already that will mix in a list of stories, and sometimes a single popular story. But this could be a cool toggle. See the whole feed...or just see 1 at a time. Thanks for the feedback...that's going on the feature board.

Hi @jason. Loving TL;DR. I'm deeply passionate about news and especially local news. Why do I only hear about a local restaurant hold up from my wife? Do you have any thoughts on hyper local news and mistakes made by the Patch's of the world? Always a fan. Shaun.

@shauntrennery patch was too many cities done poorly.... they should have done only 10 cities, but done them 50x better and they would have had a shot at replacing the local publications. you never SCALE before you PERFECT something.... patch never hired a great editor or nailed a city.... so, they spent a ton of money doing a modest job--and no one noticed. classic mistake in the "age of attention"
