…lay off the Krispy Kremes.

By the offer, I mean the offer to have us cart our gear to your data center and use your private cage at your data center for over 1 GBPS of bandwidth.

Not the offer for 0.5% equity in our company.

Public offers for private equity are illegal and that’s not what was offered in the post directly above this one, or the one below M. Arrington’s “yeah, but the last thing you want is thousands of inbound requests to invest, followed by hate mail when you ignore it. easier this way.” post.

If you take this offer by sending us an email you must be in California, you must have over 1GBPS to give us, you must have at least 2 large AC power plugs, and you must have building wide backup power.

A non-equity compensation can be discussed.

Again public the offer above was NOT for the 0.5% private equity but rather for a non-cash service trade.

You have until the end of May early June.

Obviously we don’t want to pay cash for bandwidth unless we absolutely have to. $1500 a month can buy some really good pizza.

Thanks, appreciate the offers so far.

offers > 1Gbps ONLY please

So according to you, Microblogging (and Twitter) will be extinct in about 3 years.

So why even start an internet company?

To say it’s “all in the microblogging” is pretty ridiculous. There is no proven revenue model. Nothing.

Neither LinkedIn or Facebook are going anywhere. The Diggs, Slides and Nings of the world will come and go. LI and FB are at a different level.

I could flat out spill the beans and tell everybody what it is and it still wouldn’t matter.

You know how a lot of people in the IT industry say, well, it’s all software, we can host 1M people with a 1U in colo…. ect….

It’s all about “the concept” or “the idea”

Well, this isn’t that. This requires pure band and storage and power. Like telecom. It’s a simple concept that just about anybody “could” implement but could never scale up to fast enough. At least not anybody smaller than Yahoo.

Elastic cloud computing wouldn’t scale on this either and would be just about impossible to set up without access to the hardware.

This is gonna rock when we have both coasts set up. I am going to blast some wicked heavy metal to our opening campaign. LOL.

Somebody googled “the staff of mr. ____” and I saw it on my referrer list. LOL. The people I work with are the same people I have always worked with. Searches on our project have become more and more retarded. I guess that means we’re going to have a big response.

Users don’t care about Techcrunch. Our product is aimed at the MySpace crowd.

It is a utility and has very little to do with having a flawless ivory tower upstart image.

It’s like a door handle. If there were no door handles and the invetor of the door handle talked about his door handle business before launching it, would it really matter to the people who would buy and use door handles?

Of course not.

Our product is of the class of door handle.

You are clearly missing the point here. I will invest in LinkedIn if the following happens:

1. Complete Management change
2. Disclosure of number or percentage of paying customers. (This is very important) Linkedin keep claiming they are profitable. Yet, a number of sources “inside” LinkedIn claimed that the “profitable” talk is all just marketing. They were close to breaking even last July 08 but that was how far they got before the economy turned sour.

But hey, I think i have a better chance of seeing a flying pig than the 2 points above fulfilling.

But there is one main thing to consider. The whole Networking site era is gone. It is now about microblogging. LinkedIn, MySpace and all other networking sites are pretty much on the downward slope now. Only Facebook will survive for the next 2 years, that if their userbase is maintained. Most Web 2.0 sites lifespan is only 5 years. It has been that way for a while. Instead of investing on LinkedIn, I might be more interested to invest on the next big thing – Microblogging
