Yes, cross-post, briefly, so we know where to go look for more. After all, what are the chances of us stumbling across it otherwise in the age of Information Overload?

Does it make sense to play the customer chase with investors as well? Iterations, no early commitments, split-testing, etc?

How does a lean startup mature into a "best company to work for?"

Is there a direct, causative link?

Did gore tex start lean? Did southwest?

Does lean startup xlate into sustainable success where a fast feedback/iteration loop yields market leadership?

How about a fictive short story about few guys starting up a web product company on lean startup way? What would be their first actions on the FIRST month? Yes, getting customers that pay cash is top priority, but if you go more into the details, I'd be really interesting about hearing what are the typical problems and what might be the first small-victories (if any). Let your imagination fly and write a short war-story on the lean-startup battlefield! :)

Or another way: What Toyota, Sesame Street, and E-Commerce Experts have in common, and why Start Up Ventures are taking notes.

To a certain extent this echoes other comments, but I always find it very useful to hear battle stories from the field. Perhaps short case study posts on each of the Lean principles that discuss other folks attempting to implement lean practices in their companies and their lessons learned? That way you get both the how lean principles helped solve the problem, as well as best practices for implementation beyond IMVU.

Eric,
I do think you should cross-post them here. Specially because of Twitter and this information overload, I think many people have been struggling to reduce the number of RSS feeds they actually follow (it is my case), so it´ll become easier for us to keep track of your writing even if we´re not reading those blogs that often.
Regarding the theme for short stories, I agree with Prashant on the small and practical problems.
Also, this post on Hubspot´s blog should help you with this dilemma: http://bit.ly/1asEHr

For short stories - I think it is always good to introduce some practical problem (you might have heard from entrepreneur at early stage) and how the lean startup method helped solved that. My understanding is that, this adds a lot of value and also will inspire other business people or entrepreneurs to think about undertaking the problem in a lean way

As a start, I agree with Ravi. More examples and data input into this concept will help each of us relate and thus better tailor it to our own specific needs.

I'd like to hear a detailed *non* IMVU story (not necessarily your own) about a lean startup.
