My initial response to this: turkeys can fly even without a strong wind. They're agile, and extremely crafty. This is a terrible metaphor.

I've heard that some domestic turkeys cannot fly. For sure the wild turkeys I've seen can. An entire flock getting spooked, taking off, and perching in a big tree is quite an impressive sight and sound...

I'm not convinced that following trends is a bad idea for everyone. It all depends on how much it costs you to back that turkey.

There's always a point of view or scenario that seems to argue the opposite. His advice is great in general and his other articles are definitely worth reading.

Nice article, these days I see more and more companies which can be called FANC - Features and not Companies.

Nice to read such articles once in while. Since reading just tech crunch make you think just in narrow ish "valley think" which can be disastrous.
