Thanks!

While I can't share specifics of our operations due to privacy concerns, I can share some general thoughts ...

I've had a series of 'startup setbacks', but this time, I guess the one main thing we did differently was: to build something that people are not only willing to use, but also willing to pay for. We saw plenty of examples where people loved to use stuff for free, but didn't find much 'value' when it came to paying for it. If someday Gmail went paid, a vast majority of users will not pay and move to other free email services. So our challenge was to mould our idea into a 'product', not just a fancy application.

I guess the other reason we saw some success was because, although our product has atleast 10 competing services, but we focus on simplicity of use, which I think attracts a lot of Web users these days.

And yes, we didn't give up, even when things weren't going well. I kept saying to myself: whatever happens I'll not pull the plug.

We still have a long way to go.
