That's precisely what they care about :)
BTW those examples you give built up content and traffic over a long period of time. They were innovative in their areas - but not with their technology, with their content and their focus.
(Im not commenting on you being a startup or not btw)
- vaksel 17y agoactually no they don't. All they care about is results. Same goes double for me. Sure I could have coded the thing up myself. Wasted a year, two, building the product, made 2-3 extra features. And for what? To get a "good job, but it's just another answers site" and a pat on the back? Screw that, I'd rather use those 2 years to build up my content and traffic. Content is all that matters anyways. Content drives traffic, content gets users to stick around. Who wants to waste 2 years building a site, only to have to start out with 50 users a day traffic numbers?
- ErrantX 17y agoI wasn't talking about building a site etc. Just addressing that one statement. users Really love cool stuff. What you have isn't something with cool features, your right it is content. That kind of site will take a year or more to build up. But it is the same process your pouring scorn on :-) there is still no guarantee.
- vaksel 17y agoCool features will come later. The current version of the site is basically just a way to start building up traffic for the big idea. But yeah it'll probably take 1-2 years to build up the content and traffic. But you gotta start somewhere, 10 people here, 10 people there, and before long, you are hitting millions of people a month.
