Wow, thanks for your reply, really appreciated. And I'm glad that you liked the post. You make some really good points. I agree on the problems with only focusing on technology. I kinda did it myself on this project. As a programmer and designer (more designer than programmer actually) I dug my head in the sand and hacked away whiteout testing the idea and market early and often. I also learned that the B2C market is difficult, especially if you want to make money. B2C almost always require a critical mass of users, and that's expensive. Unless you're passionate enough to spend hours on Twitter/Facebook/Community sites to build that mass. Which I wasn't (in this domain). Having a partner would probably made things easier. And I will try to find one for my next project. Which definitely will be in a domain that I'm more passionate and knowledgeable about. |

There is an excellent book called Viral Loop that dissects past companies that were able to do this correctly in the B2C market. Also Mark Bao talks about this threewords.me has a double viral loop - which is fantastic that he thought of this - I wish I had thought and executed this idea ;)
