- fretlessjazz 17y agoExactly... a business plan focused on internationalization is more important now than ever.
- ehsanul 17y agoSure, but from a business perspective, those users in Asia may also be harder to monetize, depending on your market and business model. Even Google apparently had issues monetizing China, for instance, cyber-warfare and censorship aside. But you're right, web startups should definitely be looking more to Asia these days.

- baddox 17y agoI would suggest also contrasting Asia and North America's total populations. I suspect you'll find they vary by a larger constant than 3.
- mixmax 17y agoMy point was more in relation to potential customers, which from an entrepreneurial view is the interesting metric.
