"My goal is to dethrone mailinator as the de facto temp email provider."
"This project is just to get a couple of bucks a month, nothing else."
Which is it ?
- chad_oliver 16y agoThose statements were said at different times, before and after new information was available. Kilimanjaro is working to a plan that can adapt; this is something to admire not mock. Personally, I reckon what he's doing is great, and I'm also impressed by Paul's openness and willingness to give advice.
- zinxq 16y agoI agree. Kilimanjaro's enthusiasm is just what you need as an entrepreneur :) In some sense, my "openness" might be too much reality. He may find the business model he needs (and I was serious when I said there were 10's of copycats already - good idea to check those out for ideas) And, of course, Mailinator is surely just a "weekend project" for me too. It just has an advantage of a good few years worth of weekends.
- Kilimanjaro 16y agoBoth. Started as a weekend project to make a couple of bucks a month, it has the potential to grow and scale backed by google infrastructure. As a side effect, it may grow bigger than mailinator taking its place as number one disposable email account provider. I hope that clears the confusion about my intentions and future goals.
