My own take on the 10000 Startups. 10000 Sites, here I come.
Btw just wondering what does it take to rank for the keyword “Digital Marketing Portfolio in Vizag“? It is a super long-tail keyword and frankly I don’t any value or sense in it to rank for but someone was just trying to sell SEO services after ranking for this keyword.
It is just a little fun experiment to see.
Do Not Go Gentle into that Boring Sale
Do not go gentle into that boring sale
Founder burn and rage everyday
Rage, rage against the dying bank balance
Skill may help but the passion fights
For you will need to spend sleepless nights
Startup is not for the faint of heart
Do not get bugs into that code
Few men who caught the wave
Now drives thousands into that lane
Accidents are bound to happen
Drive, drive with headlights on
Though wise investor knows funds at stake
Worry not he risk away in hope
The hope is what drives all
Do not let that hope BSOD away
Do not go gentle into that great sale
Startup is not for the faint of heart
Rage, rage against the imminent Fail
Do not go gentle into that much needed Sale
When the Entrepreneur is Ready, the Funding Appears
Have heard of this “When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Appears” but just wondering (Looking @ IndQ) if that universal truth holds for Entrepreneurs too.
Automated discovery of Scams in Making – Idea 01 for Idea Garage
I recently read a pretty good article for raising funds and I am planning to incorporate some of the learnings for my own 15 projects 21 months experiment.
So I sent a mail sent to citronresearch.com about an idea someone suggested in the Idea Garage group. Actually the idea was discussed few days back for another company issue (acqafina tab water issue) but at that time, I didn’t knew how it can be implemented but seeing something happening live, I can see a potential for building a system which can uncover such signals or allow someone to do research effectively. Need to figure out what kind of solutions are available online though.
The following is the mail sent to citron guys and let us see if they respond back.
Hi,
I came to know about your site through this ycombinator thread. When I was reading the report, I felt what if there was some automated way to assimilate & generate warning signals for things like same policies/contact numbers etc. across different sites for public companies. I will be doing some research online to see if something like this already exists but incase there isn’t would you guys be interested to fund if I can build a poc.
I am a freelance web developer and currently am looking to get into building a product/saas offering and this problem seems interesting to me. I don’t have any experience building something at this scale but I am willing to spend few years of my life working on it if I can get a ready client.
Regards,
Alok

counter_circle wtf!
Some of the premium themes include the counter_circle shortcode and it seems, all hell break loose when the text is slightly longer. Why does the shortcode author assume that everyone will be happy with just a few character of text within the circle. Anyway if you would like to change the font-size or make sure more text is adjusted within the circle, use the following css.
#counter-circle-1,#counter-circle-2,#counter-circle-3
{
font-size:23px!important;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:30px!important;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
I am Back
After missing from blogging action for almost 6 months, I am back here. Not sure how many days I can sustain my blogging efforts since every time I promise myself that I will stick to it and then break that promise. It is kinda similar to what a student does when he fails or gets low marks and promises himself that he will study next time but after few weeks it is back to square one. But as Kabir said
Karat karat abhyaas ke, jadmati hot sujan.
Rasari aawat jaat te, sil par parat nisaan.
So I gotta stick to this blogging on and then blogging none routine until I
either get fedup or make it a habit. Talking about Kabir, I have found a recent love for him which is due to this video on youtube. When I listened to it for first time, I got so overwhelmed by emotions and I continued listening to it for almost 20 times on a loop. This seems to be recorded during an event called “The Kabir Project” and I wonder why I didn’t came to knew about it earlier. It would have been wonderful to meet people who love Kabir.
On another note, the sale of Wheat Germ is picking up but still a far cry from the 100 orders a day target set by myself. I need to figure out how to promote physical products more effectively on internet. I am sure the skills gained by it can be used to promote lot many other things online.
I think this will be it for the update today, will be updating some more things soon.
