WEB - not sure if its available

I think you are giving way too much importance to idea and timing.

The reason Flickr, Youtube, Wikipedia, etc are succesful because they could execute better than their competitors and that might not change by going back in time.

congratulations guys!

You'll get used to it. Its always difficult understanding/negotiating contract for the first few times.

I started liking that language after going through that process a few times.

Tip: Try to read as slow as you can and don't miss any word/phrase. Look up dictionary if you need to.

Based on this month's data

Internet Explorer - 55.06% Firefox - 27.94% Chrome - 14.37% Safari - 1.23% Opera - 1.17% Mozilla - 0.13% Netscape - 0.02% BlackBerry9500 - 0.01%

Based on my experience - Revenue share deal with a bigger partner never works out. Unless they invest upfront and their skin is in the game, they'll not too be worried about monetizing your efforts.

My suggestion - Ask for minimum guarantee before you invest your time & effort doing it.

I still don't understand why it should be down voted...

Your value system may be different from mine. If the advice doesn't make sense to you, move on, try something else..

Great! Now all my comments would be down voted...

Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you should down vote me...

In fact, you guys are proving my point.

Now, Why was this comment down voted?

Having said this - even if I have no moral values whatsoever, I don't think I should be down voted...

I haven't worked with anyone who doesn't inflate numbers while pitching to customers, VCs, and/or partners. Would you consider them with no moral values as well...

How do you draw a line?

I didn't encourage anyone to do that. I just stated the fact to prove that journalists have a very short attention span

Why is that downvoted?

Its not cheating.

Relentless resourcefulness is the phrase.

Your mail should offer some insight to them. They must feel that your comments/viewpoint adds to the story.

I've had lot of success after sending intelligent comments to articles in mainstream media. Journalists respond back, more often than not.

To add to me previous comment - You should send targeted mails to journalists with intelligent comments about the stories.

It should be so insightful that they should feel that it would have been a better article had they spoken to you before writing it.

Twitter for Indians is going to be..... twitter.com!

In my personal experience, if you want press to write about you/your startup, you'll have to give them interesting stories that their readers like to read.

They don't have too much attention span. They don't care about how hard/easy it is do, or even if it is true or not. They just care about interesting stories...

For one of my stories I told them that we did some survey and just made up the findings. They loved it and published it next day without looking at my data or even asking me methodology of survey/research

I am not convinced that Facebook needed all the money that they've spent to reach this level.

What do they need money for?

The best way to learn about India is to visit us some time. Not through books and/or random comments.

I hardly get any search traffic - around 15%, majority of them searched for my domain name, in some form or the other.

I believe you should do it if you can build, promote and manage it without any cost structures...

I think Facebook/Digg would be vastly profitable if they didn't employ all those people. Do they need to?

I run a free job site and I've seen 20-25% increase in postings...

Number of visitors are increasing 30-35% every month. Seems like good times to me.

Google is best poised to monetize twitter.. $250mn seems low though.

I was talking about the future rounds.

Why don't you be the first one to offer term-sheets?

Why don't you move the dates up for everybody?

Based on my experience - Never do "exclusivity in a revenue sharing deal" unless they offer a significantly large minimum guarantee.

We had a joke in our company - 50% of zero revenue is zero. %age share doesn't matter in these deals...

Go ahead and post it.

Delhi!!
