Why Was Summly Successful?
Today I read an article about Nick D’Aloisio’s application,
Summly. Summly sums up articles and gives you the summary. You can also click
on a link to read the original article.
One reason I think Nick was successful is because he had a
clear idea on what he was going to do and a creative mind. He didn’t have any “uhh”s
or “umm”s when he was talking about his application. He knew what he was going
to do, how he was going to do it, etc. He had the idea to create this app –
which proves he has a great, creative mind.
Another reason I think he was successful is because he had a
lot of supporters. These supporters helped him by giving him money and letting
him hire employees and lease office space. This helped him by letting him work
with more people and get his project done faster. Otherwise, he might have not
even finished his project because of an insufficient amount of money.
To sum up, I think Nick D’Aloisio’s app Summly was successful
because he had a creative mind, a clear goal, and sufficient funding.
I like this ... but in a way, sufficient funding probably will only come to him because of the good idea.
ReplyDeleteThat said, the young entrepreneur does seem to have sufficient support and caught with good timing. I do not think he is the only one having such ideas, but he implemented it gracefully. Further his young entrepreneurial image helps to re-establish Yahoo!'s brand image-- young, innovative (in addition to align perfectly well with Yahoo's main business)
I think I included sufficient details, but I probably could have included more.
