Edgeio To Shut Down - In The DeadPool
- rms 19y agoJono December 7th, 2007 at 12:39 am Wasn't it ironic that you, Michael, are so well versed in understanding how Web 2.0 startups succeed, but for whatever reason decide that pouring money into a project with no revenue (dot com bust era style) was the way to go? Shouldn't you know better? Michael Arrington December 7th, 2007 at 12:43 am Jono - that is indeed ironic.
- staunch 19y agoArrington> In general I'll say this - it is unwise for a company to spend a lot of money building out infrastructure before a product proves itself. This is why EC2/S3 are so great. People can go crazy working on building out super scalable infrastructure ahead of time and the damage is minimized. It's just a waste of time instead of time and money. Since you're wasting so much less money you have more time.

- gscott 19y agoGive the system to me I will host it for free for 40% of the business. I will get a few servers and host it at calpop.com. I will take in the leads that come in from the site and evaluate them for business ideas and I will play around with the system and see if there isn't something that someone would pay for using it. I would be willing to spend $299 a month plus the cost of a few servers. Hopefully the code is not so balkanized it is not unmanagable.
