Reddit Was Acquired

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:33:40 GMT

Did you heard? Reddit was acquired. Congratulations guys, good job. First rumored number ($65M) is more than del.icio.us was bought for. [Update] Liz Gannes on GigaOM tells that guys from Reddig have worked with acquirer company before on very reddit-similar site. I wonder which terms they are agreed to, and wasn't they afraid of things like competition and disclosing the technology.

Here they are: Splitting the Pie: Founding Team Equity Splits - interesting suggestion about dynamic split here Startup Founders: Should You Divide Equity Equally? together with comments The Founders' Pie Calculator - great plan for fair split EQUITY: Dividing the Pie [Update] Here is another link where people discuss fair equity share (you'll have to register to read that).

Online feed reader inviting beta users

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:28:46 GMT

It's about time I should extend beta user invitation for audience here. I'm pretty sure you use feed reader of one kind or another. onelurv has been in development for a couple of months. It's a feed reader that combines bookmarks and passwords in one seamless tool. My vision is to create the most pleasurable start-page tool for everyday web surfers. I'm inviting you guys to participate as beta users; and there's limited places for registration. It handles feeds in a channel/category manner; different from other online aggregators. For bloggers, it allows you to embed feed reader into your blog. User's feeds and bookmarks are also shared with community of other users. Truth is, it started out as a tool that I needed for myself. Feeds and passwords were getting overwhelming; and there was no tool that manage like it should for me. It turns out to be a pretty fun 'first-page-in-the-morning'. I hope you can help make it better. There's a demo account so you can have a look at how it works. Appreciate your support and feedback :) Check it out at http://onelurv.com/ - 1 reply

Ajax GUI platforms going kill Traditional GUI platforms!

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 15:36:49 GMT

A very small startup Pioneersoft invented very interesting technologies to build online GUI applications: http://cbsdf.com/misc_docs/why-gui-api.htm http://cbsdf.com/misc_docs/gui-api-brief.htm They say, online GUI applications can be build at half the cost compared to comparable desktop applications using an innovative �loosely coupled� component based process: http://cbsdf.com/technologies/misc-docs/CF-LC-Figures.htm Also check out cool examples in the web site. If they can do good job in marketing, they can undercut Windows-API and Google�s Ajax lead. What do you think about the viability of the inventions? Who can help the technology best, Microsoft or Google (if they were acquired)? - 2 replies

How Web Startups Can Benefit from Each Other

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 00:29:57 GMT

Are you a small startup developing some new idea? Are you sure your idea is good, or you do have some worries about it? Or you are completely confident with your idea, but have some worries about how to convince the world about it? Then I'm like you. I have an idea I believe in, and I work on implementing it and making it popular. The first part was relatively easy. Software development is my profession, and basic functionality come up fast. My idea is now live and work here. Now the second part. How to tell the world about how good the new service is? How to ask people's feedback and make the service they'll actually love? This field is unclear for me. Are you in the same position? Are you built something and looking for users to gather feedback and continue development? Thinking about creating user community around your product or service? This is where startup people can help each other. Startup people can be each other honest supporter and beta tester. Startup people can give feedback to other startups, and receive feedback back from them. Startups can help each other to grow and mature, and to form a supportive community around. So here is my manifesto. I am willing to be beta user and provide feedback for a product or service I will find interesting. I will ask for feedback on talkinghub service and propose other startups to review. Are you a startup looking for feedback? Post your product or service here. Do you find talkinghub idea interesting, or have improvement proposal? Please provide your feedback here. Do you have other thoughts on how startups can collaborate to help each other? We would love to read your ideas here. Good luck then. Denis Krukovsky. - 1 reply
