Business model IS part of Design.
I didn't say it wasn't. I was trying to say I thought the product's
deign itself was far more compelling a discussion than the business
model, since the biz model in this particular instance is something
largely tied to Shaun's personal decisions about how he wants to work.
If you don't know Shaun, he's more comfortable working solo, and is
more than happy with his modest -- yet very successful --lifestyle
living out in Tennessee, where the pace is a bit slower, the money he
makes goes much farther, and he's not required to do anything with his
work that he doesn't want to. He gets to do work that makes him happy.
In short, the business model is perfect for Shaun. So that part of the
discussion is not very useful.
Now, does anyone want to actually discuss some of the great aspects of
what the product does well, and where it might be iterated in the
future towards this new breed of web app that scales between browser
and mobile with the same design philosophy?
