Hey, interesting view...Did not think of it that way.

FYI, This article has been quoted intensively: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_failures_serious...

I have alway's done that- the 'not prone to misdirection' type's of tasks I always outsource.

It worked so well I have started recommending my partner-in-outsourcing to other startups with incredible results...

not only is it more convenient- it just makes good business sense.

let me know if I can help anyone..(marco@incredicorp.com)

That is so wrong in so ,so many ways...This is one of the misguiding articles I have ever seen and I'm beeing easy on the article now...

sell , design and then make the product? come on...

This approach isn't as stupid as you might think. A lot, if not all, of the successful entrepreneurs I know would never make a product before they've sold it to somebody. This is a great approach because if you can actually sell the product before you've made it you know there is a market.
