  You must figure out how you deliver real differentiation. What you’ll stand for, be known for. You have to have a core. You can’t let the market machinations and press proclamations worry you. The big guys can’t crush you as easily as others think. Be a cockroach. Be indestructible. And remember that competing with the big boys is not for wimps. Fight hard. No cry babies.

    Thanks! We’re developing additional functionality at this very moment, but were so excited about the site that we wanted to get it out the door quickly and iterate over time and with user feedback.
