Talk to Your Users, or Else! This week, we're going to take a look at a group of tools that gets overlooked way too often: tools that help you talk to your users. Talking to your users is one of the most valuable things you can do with your time. Like Paul Graham says, "there's just one mistake that kills startups: not making something users want." And how do you figure out what your users want? You talk to them. The best example of not talking to your users I've ever seen was mentioned in an Intercom blog post. I know this might sound radical, but have you considered just talking to them? It sounds crazy, but talking to users happens less than it should. That' ridiculous! This week, all of the tools we'll showcase will help you talk to your customers. Not using them is setting yourself up to fail. Really. We didn't always talk so openly with our customers. We were in a closed beta, with no easy way for users to get more information. The result? Fast-forward a year—we've changed that. PS.
