The last few days I read a lot about startups, mainly because we are one and I wanted to see if there is something we are missing, what we should be aware of or just what others think of young companies like us.

You know, the word Retina is in everyones mouth at the moment. It began with the iPhone 4, continued with the iPad 3 and has now arrived in the MacBook line with the Retina MacBook Pro. Apple is pushing the boundaries of display technology and it looks great. Sadly a lot of things don’t look so great because the majority apps and websites is not updated, yet. That’s because on the one hand the percentage of visitors with retina displays is still very small and that on the other there isn’t a really good solution to serve the right images to the right devices.

I’m really interested in how other people and companies work. I like reading about their workflows and processes and am always looking to optimize my own workflow. In the last few weeks it became clear to me that what we are doing here at QUOTE.fm is actually building a company from the ground up, we’re not longer just individuals doing their own thing. We are in the position to define how we want to work as a team. That’s a great opportunity and also a great responsibility. It means trying things and always improving them.

So I encourage you to take some time and read the following stories.
