You practically said everything on my mind. Yammer is a better version of Twitter. Built-in tags, threaded view. It's just really well-done.

You guys are just being paranoid. Salesforce runs fine within the corporate environment. Besides, they copied the Salesforce IP restriction configuration for extra security. I'm betting that the corporations will embrace it.

Maybe it's just me but I'm calling a major BS on the $155k/m profit claim. 1) Assuming he got 100k visitors per month 2) Assuming each arb gets him $0.10 per click. 3) Assmuning 50% of the visitors click 1 ad (and that's wildly optimistic)

You can always add your users' emails manually & create groups for them. So next time when you want to mass mail them, just send an email to that group. Tried it. Works fine. Just a hassle to add the users' emails manually

I like it. It'll appeal to those who finds Yammer lacking (eg. no group features). But if i have to make a choice, i'll go with Yammer because 1) I don't have a need for those advanced features that presentlyapp provides 2) Yammer feels mor

If you come from an enterprise background, you'll find that most enterprises are really serious about controlling their network. So they will pay. $1/user is like tea break expense for them.

Fotonauts will appeal very much to the wikipedia crowd. Like wikipedia, I expect a small minority being responsible in generating most of the content. In no time, Fotonauts will start attracting the masses in being a reference photo site. E

Fair enough. You made your point and it's a valid one. But my observation is that it is very hard to beat the competition unless your product offers something compelling over theirs. Not impossible, but hard. P.S. Chill out guys. It's not l

Takeaway point is similar to what the others have said: - Learn from your competition and differentiate yourself from them - There are competitors all the time. So learn to live with them and out-execute them. - Being late to the party is n

Thanks for the sarcasm. I didn't know it was a side project. You didn't mention it in your first post. I thought it was a full-time thing. Imagine you know a friend who quits his job to focus on his photo-sharing startup that you know will

Yammer is Twitter for corporates done right. Funny seeing how the blogosphere slams them for being a ripoff of twitter. Hello! Facebook is a ripoff of Friendster. But Facebook is Friendster done right. Yammer totally deserve the award. Ever

Like i said, if his app brings something different to the table like Fotonauts, bring it on (read my first post: I said change the game plan only if it offers nothing different over the existing services. I didn't say forget about the idea)

Hey man. I didn't mean to discourage you. I just don't want to see you wasting your precious development time. The most precious thing to a developer is his time. So I don't want to see another developer spending a lot of effort on his baby

I'm probably going to be the sole wet blanket here. Ask yourself this question. Will your product be substantially different from this competitor's product? If yes, you might want to do something else. Like what you said, this competitor ha

Seriously? Yet another photo-sharing site? Unless it's a game changer like fotonauts, you might want to change your game plan.

You should base your startup where your market is. If your business is tech related, it would be best to do it in the US since they have the largest spending power for tech-related services. If you are a mining contractor, you should do it
