I dont think Google bought Skype yet, as GTalk is a cmpetitor to Skype AND a quick Googling shows the following links:
and I also read that "Ebay has already stated that it will acquisition VoIP provider Skype to offer a new advertising service"


Anyway, consulting service is good idea....but I was thinking that if we can match our concept with adwords somehow....my idea is too vague right now........but somehow TBE and adwords can provide a great result, I feel.

Incentives should only be given after one gives rewarding referrals.....be it members or clients. Inviting 50 inactive users adds 0 value....but invitng a couple of enthusiasts who perform well sounds good. So that has to be worked out.


Also I was thinking about Exec blogs. We have talents from many spheres. So say we can engage three of them to write an online article on AskSpace. Say for example, the article in on new portable music players. So we let the manufacturers place a bid for ads on that page. We got expertise, so we can expect visitors. Also, the number of bloggers we have will help us achieving a HIGH google rank. So what say you?

Thanks for the kind words for Indian Team! I have become a great admirer of Graeme Smith's batting. Reminds me of the stories about the legendary Barry Richards.

Keep Talking.

Adwords sounds good. You've definately got something there regarding referrals from our bloggers.

In other words: We have to ask every TBE member to link a part of TBE/latest blog or whatever to their own personal blogs.

I agree that only rewarding referrals should be rewarded. Your idea about an exec blog is excellent. Importantly though: it has to be interesting and not just TBE focussed, but rather shouting out to the broader business/open source community.

I'm going to be away this weekend, but I think we have to put in some serious work next week, and try and have a report by next Sunday?

Are you up for a skype session...let's say monday morning early SA time, +/- 10h Indian time, or would 10h at night Indian time suit you better?
