Angry Birds in real!

How awesome Angry Birds are! I get really inspired when I see a great success caused by a great product, built by a great team… Indeed Rovio’s 8 years of existence grew into something outstanding. This example is one of many Angry Birds adaptations happening around the globe.

“After we launch a new feature, I keep a close eye on how many people are using it. If it’s unpopular, we’ll discontinue it and try something else. Every feature has some maintenance cost, and having fewer features lets us focus on the ones we care about and make sure they work very well. For every new feature we add, we take an old one out.” —David Karp (via bijan)
