The two things I liked int heis post are "When we can’t find internal talent, community-based testing is an interesting solution to this challenge" and 70-20-10 rule for investing in technology. While the numbers are not carved in stone, the basic concept is that we invest ~70% on our existing core products, ~20% in related but new categories and ~10% on riskier bets or areas outside our existing core competencies.
