Glad they are gone. I hope they burn in hell

still no mac version. Than we can talk.

Are you planning to have subscription plans or get income with advertisement?

God will punish you guys for hyping nonsensical ideas.
Gangbusters .. come one .. do you guys pay attention to what you are saying or doing?
There is a startup out there thinking they are Youtube of doc’s .. now pray tell what does it mean?

This was was even dumber .. Who wants to sync doc’s only .. Syncing has value if done right,
This idea of generating companies of vicarious living .. google doc’s was STUPID .. the vc’s who funded them were dumber than a rock; and you guys who push such drivel will burn in the infernal hell .. only worst than the one where the founders and funders of floundering startsup burn.

There are more dominoes ready to fall .. one should watch all those facebook widget companies leaving the garage doors open soon.

“That would be: real time automatic backup, ability to recover files from history, storage, easy sharing, transfering large files, syncing between computers and syncing between Google Docs and office docs.”

Apologies in advance for the plug. Like DocSyncer, Syncplicity does sync with Google Docs but in a two-way fashion with Microsoft Office. It also does all of the features above in one integrated experience.

We’re in beta right now, but would love any feedback you might have!

ANY startup that survives is an anomaly.

The odds are 8 out of 10 against success.

1) Failure is the norm.

2) Followed by a very slim chance of being acquired by an established tech giant before your funding runs out.

3) Followed by an even more remote chance of finding a sustainable business model to support ongoing ops, and perhaps make a small profit.

4) Followed by an almost 0% chance of a runaway success, a la Threadless.com, etc.

It’s easy to be an arm-chair founder and just hang out on TC and say “idiots” whenever something gets Deadpooled.

@Web 2.0 user

Most of the Net can be built by people with the right know-how, in their spare time. However, most users are total noobs, or don’t have the free time to do things on their own.

How many people you meet on the street will even know what a macro is, let alone know how to make their own??

However, they’ve probably all heard of MySpace, Facebook, etc. which really don’t do anything you couldn’t build for yourself with an open source CMS package like Drupal, etc.

this isn’t rocket science… if you want a successful/generates revs, you need to go ask your potential suppliers of revs (possible customers) what they want/need.

so if you’re going to have a biz based on advertising, you better damn well have done your homework to make sure you can get the advertising to support you biz. i know this part is hard/unglamorous. but i can tell you that walking in for a meeting with funding sources, and stating that you’ve talked to 200-300 potential customers about what you’re doing, and if these potential customers will pay, and how much they’d pay… this makes a world of difference.

don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of sites/businesses that you can point to, that went and built the product/site/technology and managed to be wildly successful. but i’m willing to bet that these are the anomalies as opposed to the rule.

or, on the other hand, you can talk to a few friends and convince yourself that this idea will fly, and go off and build the site/app… and more often than not.. watch it stumble along….

peace…

It doesn’t sound like he tried very hard.
