Product Positioning and the Roommates
“Hi I am Noah what’s your name”
“Oh Hey I am Jennifer, are you from around here?”
“Yea, I grew up in the Bay Area”
“really, where?”
“Oh in cupertino”
“Nice, are you renting or do you have roommates”
“yea 3 of us live in a house”
“very cool, blah blah blah”

and the conversation continues and I score! Sounds like a great thing. What if I told you those 2 other roommates are my parents? Different story huh? Product positioning is how you explain the story to the users and the people you want using your product.
What’s your story? And yes, those are my parents:)

Case in point – about me and my roommate:
“They now share an apartment, along with a third roommate, in the upscale Pacific Heights section of San Francisco. Scattered about the living room and bedrooms are the indispensable totems of modern technological privilege: I.B.M. laptops, pink iPods, multiple flat-screen televisions and Ms. Cichelli’s Treo 650, a combination cellphone and palmtop.”
I’m sorry, upscale Pacific Heights, multiple flat-screen T.V.’s… and computers and ipods SCATTERED all around our living room… we sound like spoiled brats…
