Spare ticket going for The Story. Ask @alfie #
1st half of #thestory was inspired! Small Town Anywhere's audience led stories has me thinking about spaces like #brixvill. #
@laurahyde ditto! Seems rather cliquey and my clique's not here! in reply to laurahyde #
@laurahyde Missed your poncho. Maybe a drink afterwards if you're also waiting for the 9 to 5ers to trickle in? in reply to laurahyde #

How do you manage bad market timing when measuring product/market fit? Accept failure & move on. #leanstartup London #
@happyseaurchin is comparing "hidden attractors" to #leanstartup #
It's a very knowledgeable panel, but the level of jargon makes me wonder how accessible #leanstartup is to new entrepreneurs. #
How scientific is #leanstartup? It's not a science like physics, but like economics, it applies the scientific method to learn. #
How are you finding @leanbot so far? Would you like it to tweet more or less? Any subjects or experts you feel should be included more? #
@ericries @bendell @wonjunchoi @jimmurphy @michaelrhopkin @RahulnB @JoshuaKerievsky Thanks for tweeting my videos. Glad you like them! #
