The revenue model of these services is not clear to me.

It seems like they are thriving on ad revenue only which is not the best way to go about. Morever, with so many sms application coming, it has become really irritating to receive only ads in SMS. The users who are joining MGinger are joining to earn money to receive ads … and not actually to get offers. This is not good for the advertisers as well.

I like the model of 160by2 to some extent. They are selling tag words to advertisers. If an user to sending a SMS to his friend and that word is present, the ad appears on the next 80 words. Only the limit of 80 words seems to hinder here.

I tried that a few months back(probably 1 year back) and i used to get ads of Dairy Milk, for key word “Love”(no prizes guessing what i was smsing.)

But this is a very good concept coz, the advertisers gets to build a good brand name in this.

Lets us see some more innovation in the mobile advertising field.

Second thing which baffles me is the amount of funding these companies get. Are the investors seeing something we are not able to see. May be some investor lets us know, what are looking at.

Lot of websites these days send spam by asking readers to share their gmail user id and passwords. These sites send unsolicited spam invitations in the identity of user to all entries in their address book.

Few legitimate ones let you select whom you want to invite while others invite entire address book…

Bad that mginger also resorting to such cheap and dirty tricks.

Gosh.. I knew it…! That sucks so bad.

Yes, Shrinidhi, I see most of the social networking and such new startups resort to illegitimate ways.

Even some apps in Facebook! Won’t name’em here.

The problem in India is that Venture Capitalists in India seem to reward steep subscriber growth numbers without adequate due diligence on how those numbers were achieved. Atleast one social network that I know spammed me with fictitious names was acquired by a spam-friendly mainstream media house which is currently busy spamvertizing their shiny new job portal. With VC money and quick exits at stake who cares about outdated Internet e-mail ethics.
