]]> Comment on 2011 = The Year of the B2C Startup IPO by Roberto http://blog.gorankem.com/2011/01/2011-the-year-of-the-b2c-startup-ipo/comment-page-1/#comment-692 Roberto Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:13:32 +0000 http://blog.gorankem.com/?p=170#comment-692 I don't see facebook or zynga going public, but we can count on LinkedIn and Skype to bring some tech IPO headlines this year, I don't doubt. Quora has some competition as the 2011 breakout - namely the StackExchange, who recently secured funding and gets over 16.6 million uniques a month. The question and answer sites are plentiful, it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top, and yes Quora is a good one with educated folks on there, but stack overflow is still the go to place for programmers.

Sailer Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:14:38 +0000 http://blog.gorankem.com/?p=96#comment-47 Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Its a blue ocean and while it may not be immediately obvious how to monetize a new segment of the market, the opportunity is huge! Keep helping us discover! I found a great band (MENOMENA) this morning on album 88 from GSU in Atlanta, immediately found them on Google, then went to bittorrent (Vuze) to find some of their work and will spend the day exploring this new work. Its a fragmented process with lots of opportunity to deliver a 'one stop shop' promise as far as UI is concerned...I didn't (and the avg joe won't) want to use all those channels for making the transition from finding, discovery, to exploration...knowing how to receive and pass the baton from your neighbors is going to be essential to your success! I'll enjoy following the story here! Keep on exploring. Hey guys,
