We're huge fans of Steve, Eric, and IMVU as well, and are trying to incorporate this thinking into our MMO project. We're pushing out a very bare-bones version so that we can get closer to our users and learn from them. More lectures would be fantastic!! I agree with Nik.

We are big fans of Steve/IMVU and the customer development process. We are trying our best to follow this process at our startup and we are succeeding to some extent. We got 45 subscriptions (@$40/month) to our service in the 2 weeks that our consumer facing premium service was live. Our product had a bare minimum feature set but we know that there is a demand there and we are now rapidly iterating to make sure that we deliver more features that customers want and that will make our premium service more valuable. So, yes—any and ALL information from Steve/Eric/IMVU would be much appreciated. Also—see this blog post about another customer development focused CEO/startup- Greg Gianforte (CEO, RightNow) that influenced us: http://nrao.posterous.com/greg-gianforte-ceo-of-rightnow Nivi,
