Folks we are not looking for any more comments on the design and how it can be improved. This just works for us.

If there are more ideas/feedack on rest of the content you are welcome.

Thanks.

Its a website you don't inspire trust from a web-page, trust is usually a function of a human interaction.

Thanks @Debug point taken will work on that section today.

Design can be overhauled later, and this is not a priority.

As for spelling mistakes @colinplamondon, seriously. I give you a venture firm and all you can see it spellings, brilliant?

The purpose of this site is to serve as a 2/3 para about the idea, not in for the webby folks.

This is my venture by my friend. and actually this thread was to just to let people know there is this firm if Indian start up need investment.

Marketing Myopia - Theodore Levitt 16 pages. Publication date: Jul 01, 2004 http://www.casadogalo.com/marketingmyopia.pdf

At some point in its development, every industry can be considered a growth industry, based on the apparent superiority of its product. But in case after case, industries have fallen under the shadow of mismanagement. What usually gets emphasized is selling, not marketing. This is a mistake, because selling focuses on the needs of the seller, whereas marketing concentrates on the needs of the buyer. In this widely quoted and anthologized article, first published in 1960, Theodore Levitt argues that "the history of every dead and dying 'growth' industry shows a self-deceiving cycle of bountiful expansion and undetected decay." But, as he illustrates, memories are short.

Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world actually do.

Zoho is big enough for a startup.

redbus.in and makemytrip.com come to mind but again they are just an add-on nothing innovative.

Now I am thinking did we actually do a startup worth marketing?

Mr. Arrington and nice folks at TC seem to be removing any HN related comments for some reason. Strange.

What makes me a good investor: 1. I am an Engineer, with a keen sense of problem solving 2. Worked on 4 new products from conception to final product 3. I know there is a need in India to encourage people to start taking the entrepreneurial path, I am ready to provide the platform and I understand the risk. 4. There is an inherent approach in India by investors to only go after IIM's and IIT (Best Colleges in India), which doesn't make sense in long run. I have seen and faced this and I am sure I can change it. 5. Finally, I am passionate about Ideas and making India better.

I would Invest all of it in an Alternative Fuel research.

Can't think of already available service for this problem right now. However there is one solution I think you would have already though of this but here we go; Assimilate the cost till it reaches a bit bigger sum. That is if you have multiple purchase from the same customer.

I use three tools postits(quick idea), notebook(Meetings, todo, discussions,work,thoughts) and Evernote(everything on-line,ideas,bookmarks...).

That makes more sense. Thanks.

Thanks to HN, I now maintain only 10 rss feeds. :) and meet a lot of intelligent folks.

This is a community driven forum.

My take is there is a yet a better way to search the Internet. We are still looking at search as a keyword driven application. Which is not the optimal approach to search. Though no one can argue that google give decent results to most of the searches you key-in. Search can be more intelligent and personalized as everyone expects a different result to the keywords "will apple fall".

If search can be made personal and more of a 1:1 activity that will go wrong with Google.

This makes Gmail, what is should have been.simple and Just Email App. +1

Ramanujan was also mentioned in "Good Will Hunting". However I do agree that Indians have done a bad in terms of Marketing our selves.

Our brand image over some time has been: Some time Back: Snake Charmers and Kings Now: Bangalore(Outsourcing) & Spicy Food

If you are just starting with Flash, goto http://flash.tutsplus.com/ and start doing the tutorials with the examples and once you are fimilliar with the environment.

Visit http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ for a very good set of video tutorials and examples. Gotoandlearn is IMO one of the best starting points to dive into flash.

After this you have Google :)

Google pages aren't that useful, are they?

Agriculture.

If you you want to write HTMl code from the scratch. Go to http://projectdeploy.org/ and download complete Skeleton structure based on your requirements.Then head over to http://speckyboy.com/ this has the best set of Tutorials and Showcases. Programming for web is fairly very simple.

Added: I have read this comment and sitting with my team today to discuss it in detail. Thanks again.

@patio11 Thanks for this, I will make it a point to correct these kind of anomalies from the site.

@maurcy Thanks, this technology behind the site which is as rightly pointed out is rss mashup is not the core strength.

The main USP, if you will of the site is the sources it polls and the editorial team.

Well Thanks, @javery
