Gems from BJ Fogg's Facebook course

stanford-fb-apps.jpg

BJ Fogg's "not pretty" presentation about Stanford's Facebook course contains fascinating snippets, especially in the last 10 slides.

  • The students in this class engaged 16 million people in 10 weeks. Some of them got rich.
  • Don't be swayed by one person's opinion.
  • Just get the app out there and see what happens . . .
  • Many crummy trials beat deep thinking.
  • Often what seemed like a killer idea didn't work.
  • Sometimes what seemed stupid worked very well.
  • If you're desperate for a win, just copy something that's working.

Rachel,

Thanks for your mention.

There is a lot more random, disorganized stuff on the web page for the class if you’re interested:
