"Disregard the Words"

Editor's Note: If you've been reading Every for a while, you probably know we love to talk about products: the strategy surrounding them, the design that goes into them, and the way we use them—or don’t. Which is why we love this post by Josh Miller, co-founder and CEO at The Browser Company, about the way we talk about products—or more specifically, why some products can be hard to talk about.

This piece was originally published in Josh's newsletter, Internet Blue. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I’ll never forget the first time I played with an iPhone. 

It was my freshman year in college, and I loved my Blackberry. It had email. It had BBM (Blackberry’s precursor to iMessage, which dominated the campus social scene). It let me quickly Google stuff. What more could you ask for?
