Here’s a nice analogy that I came across between Gardening and Managing : Any good gardener knows that the secret of good gardening, the inescapable foundation for excellent results, lies in soil preparation–unglamorous as that may be. No matter how good the plants are, no matter how much you water or fertilize later on– unless you start by creating a rich, open environment for your plants to grow in, you are likely doomed to failure.

I am sure that the site launch in India will draw HUUGE amount of users ..Another orkut success story will unfold..Any myspace imitators still in stealth mode ..please shift gears faster..

I always had an issue with this service execution. In a place like India where piracy is rampant and where I can get DVDs for 35 bucks, how can a service like Seventymm survive..In one of ther ecent articles, the founder was talking of breakeven…It surprises me .. One of the comments on contentsutra seem to air the same opinion

Here is a site which is social networking + Digg based feature for cricket fans..It is based out of Hyderabad.In the words of the founder, the site is doing extremely well in its second quarter of its operation itself !!! Some of the metrics quoted are 69 days to reach one million hits .100 days to reach 2 million hits .. This makes me think that social networking for the heck of it might not work , unless there is some product based on which a community can be built.

Wow!! Kudos to the spirit behind this person Link : The inspiring rags-to-riches tale of Sarathbabu
