Quora - Yet another Q&A site? #startups

opinion, review No Responses »
Jun 222010

I’ve registered and even added a response to a question. I’m still not sure how this will differentiate itself from other similar sites – though I will confess to liking the User Experience quite a lot. I found it very easy to get started and find topics of interest.

Ultimately I suspect that the success of this site will be based on the (by now old) Web 2.0 cliche, the quality of the community.

Quora – How did Mint acquire 1.5m+ users without a high viral coefficient, scalable SEO strategy, or paid customer acquisition channel?.

The response to the question above is a good example, with the lead designer and one of the first hires, responding. Then again, my beloved FriendFeed had a great community and never achieved critical mass!

African startups - similar issues as in #srilanka ?

opinion No Responses »
Jun 182010

I came across these two excellent African tech sites – Appfrica & iHub – and they’ve got me thinking; we instinctively look to India and other South-Asian countries for lessons and examples in IT. However, I suspect there is much to learn from the (East & West?) African experience. India is so overwhelmingly established in its position as a technology hub and has access to such vast human and financial resources that I think certain experiences in Sri Lanka may be more analagous to the African situation. I’m thinking particularly in terms of start-ups where I feel the access to resources and infra-structure is really not comparable to the current Indian experience.

A few more links I need to explore:
