I hear lots of excuses from startup founders, like “I’m too busy,” concern over IP security, can’t afford an agency, and it’s too early. Start writing a blog, speaking at local groups, and conversing at networking meetings about the need you see in the marketplace, before you pitch a solution.

This was not so illogical as most companies didn’t even run TCP/IP—they ran proprietary networking protocols such as AppleTalk, Netbios, and SNA. Average of 3 chat conversations per user through RockMelt each day. In fact, to a large extent Mike created the war by launching a withering PR attack that Microsoft couldn’t ignore.

In the middle of a serious conversation on the joys of motherhood or the stress of a career you might realize that the person you’re talking to is only 15. But to your point, you can't even have a conversation with them, they have made their decisions and moved on. But it also has some drawbacks. IMVU is one great tornado.

Conversely I offered the same deal to another entrepreneur who decided to shop around longer. If it’s a biz deal you might care about IP protection, revenue share, investment commitments to joint marketing – whatever.

there are start ups who are legitimately using.net because they don’t need to look directly into the tcp/ip stack. Purchase IP from the vendors. I tried to continue reading but it is obvious that you are closer to PR or marketing than to the tech area. of course, you’re allowed to have your opinions. What did we do?

That's primarily because Tide does not truly understand how to do Conversation Marketing. They manage to get hundreds upon hundreds of comments ( Conversation Rate ) and thousands upon thousands of comment Likes ( Applause Rate ).
