Hello World! Join the community.


Starting today, DanielOdio.com has moved over to the SETT blogging platform from Wordpress.  I'll have more on all the wonderful things this means later this week, but the main immediate difference you'll see is that there is now a "Community" section to the site.

This is a place for other entrepreneurs to have conversations with each other.  It was important to me that this blog be about more than just me sharing my knowledge with you.  I want to participate in a vibrant community with other founders and entrepreneurs, sharing knowledge with each other.

A huge thank-you to Todd and Tynan for offering me the privilege of having DanielOdio.com be the first external blog on the SETT platform.  I'm looking forward to seeing how you create a new era of community-based blogging with SETT.

Now, let's get to it:  If you want to participate in the community please write a post here, in the community section.  If you like what someone else has written, you can "upvote" their post using the arrows next to their name.  I'll put the most popular community posts on the main page of the site.  

Let's get blogging.

Hi Daniel, I am looking to develop a real estate app which I think is different and unique from what already exists in the market (a tall order!).  I was wondering if you might have any recommendations for an app development company that works with individuals. This app will deal with the aggregation of data - it's not a game or anything fancy like that.  Anyone in DC or San Francisco come to mind?  I'll also be going to India later this year to meet with contacts there.  Thanks!  Sasha

Moving from Wordpress to SETT

I've been a power Wordpress user for a long time.  We use Wordpress for our company blog, and it works well. 

But for my personal blog, Wordpress has often felt like I was slogging through the mud.  I wanted something more social.  I want to create and foster a community of like-minded people who can all share knowledge with each other.  And when my friend Tynan told me about a new blogging platform he and Todd were creating, I jumped at the chance to be the first external blog to make the switch.

For too long, blogs have been one-way broadcasts of information, when in reality there are communities of people interacting with a blog's content.  Many of those people have very valuable perspectives and opinions to share.  Despite the plethora of plugins available for Wordpress, it just hasn't been possible to get it to be as social as I wanted.  SETT solves all of those issues.

The irony is that Tynan and Todd haven't even built in social sharing features into SETT yet, and still I find it to be much more social than Wordpress was.  It really showcases what I mean when I say that people misunderstand social.  Social isn't about sharing to as many people as you can, but rather about creating and fostering meaningful conversations between people who share similar interests -- even if none of them are "friends" or followers on any one social network.

I've Got 10 Invites for SETT. Who Wants One?

I moved my blog over from Wordpress to SETT a bit over 6 months ago, and I've been absolutely loving it.

@Tynan, the creator of SETT, has given me ten invite codes for SETT, good for either a FREE personal plan, or 40% off a paid plan, for life.

If you want to scoop up one of these invite codes, here's how to do it:

Pick any blog I've written (other than this one) and make a comment on the thread.  In your comment, include the hashtag #GiveMeSETT .  I'll send the invite code to the 10 best comments I receive.  And by best, I mean thoughtful responses to the topics at hand.

Here are a few of my favorite blog posts that you can comment on:
