I totally agree with the comment ” you cannot build a profitable online business through offline channels”. This is exactly what we have experienced in the last 1 month.

Dear Prateek and Nithya, This is by far the best thing that happened to me and my tryst with music.. I love the simplistic way in which muziboo operates itself and the ease with which one can host and listen to music (one own and others too). I was away for a couple of months from Muziboo due to professional commitments ( I am patent attorney). I am about to upgrade to a Pro account and also introduce some of my closest friends to muziboo this week.. I now believe you are no longer a start-up…you are now a full grown legal entity ready to take on more… i am ready and willing to provide you all the legal support absolutely free..

I still bitch about the same things Anon :)

You need to understand the difference between consulting few months a year and working 5 days a week for 52 weeks a year. May be I should write some more about it in a post. As I see it, I am still walking my talk. Thanks for checking on me though.

What about all the bitching in the past about working full-time on your startup, and anything else being a hobby? You went on and on about it in the past isn’t it? So were you wrong, or what are you doing now that is still fits your philosophy from back then?

@Indus: Thanks for rewriting it :) .. the second year is certainly harder than the first and I think the third will be the hardest. I am hoping things will get stabler after that!

@Prof. Suresh: Thanks for your comment … good to have some people around who believe in what you are doing.

Good you decided to put the rumours to rest now. I think you and nitya are doing a great job building a community – that too one that did not exist earlier. More power to you!!

and btw in this connected world the likes of Alexa show how clothed the the emperors are.

Huh..this is what I wanted to comment originally, looks like the edit was too late while the submission was already on!
–
There are two reasons why people talk prematurely about success or failure (a) They hate you and/or (b) They don’t understand your model but still hate you. In either case your startup gets talked up!
So..don’t worry, stay put, slog it out — first years are not easy, anyway!

@Indus: Thanks for your comment. I think something got chopped off .. the part b. contradicts with and/or statement :)

@George: Thanks for your support man.

@Jo: I know :)
