Why I AM excited about RealTime
So here's the history. I've basically been working on this product for over a year as the primary product manager on the team and truthfully it has been the most enjoyable year of my career for a couple of key reasons:
1) There are very few opportunities to go out there and work on a first generation product and own the entire experience.
2) I really believe there's a huge opportunity here for people as the whole RSS / Web 2.0 space is full of great ideas - but no one really knows how to monetize it yet.
3) After using RSS for the better part of a year I really do believe RSS will change the way people behave online as the web is really about to evolve and while its not as exciting a time as the mid-late 90's. The Internet space is still a great place to be.
And last - but not least.
4) I really do love the product and the experience we are creating. Note I totally realize that we're not there yet, but I can see the road map ahead and I'm very excited about the things we're working on and will hopefully be able to bring to market in the up coming months.
So that said, both myself and the entire RealTime team would love to hear your feedback about the product as we're working hard to improve it.
