When is mediocre good enough?

That is the question.

Do you rush out and deliver product eventhough you know that it needs more polish? Do you use your customers / users as beta testers because you ran out of time polishing?

Blizzard, Ning, Apple delivered when the product was amazing. They earned their customers respect and are doing great. The famous Blizzard statement: “It’s ready when it’s ready.”

How about you? Do you want to lead the pack with amazing product or be a mediocre wannabe?

You decide.
