Sometimes it takes an objective third party to put you out of your misery. Throwing my own work away is not that hard, it's the allowing myself consider it a valid and constructive option, instead of a personal failure. BTW, did you read Seth Godin's "The Dip"?

We definitely made the 'too complicated' error with Lovest.at (we're remedying this at the moment). Probably all a good lesson for loads of third party user testing, or at least he private / public BETA approach. Too true Boris, too true!

But every single time the result was better. Like our Dave suggesting we should drop the whole CommunicatieGarage thing because we were actually grown way past that kind of fun. It was a shock, but we will never regret it. It is harder when looking at your own work, but I guess it is a sign of seniority when one can do just that.
