Teaching For All

Maven publicly launches its course builder, Discord emulates Twitch, Google Fiber rolls out 5-gig internet

Good morning! Looks like its bye bye to using RICE for prioritization at Twitter. Elon's newest mantra is to look at product-feedback related responses to his tweets, and "prioritize by number of likes times ease of implementation".

Highlight of the day

Maven moved from invite-only teaching to opening up full access for anyone to launch cohort-based classes. Users can set up landing pages, execute email funnels, manage online communities, and automate zoom uploads and calendar invites. Maven's founder previously founded Udemy, so it's not surprising to see Maven go for a similar model.
