My question was based on this crap article and the crappiest "First" paragraph I have ever come across regarding startups!

How can he say it's a vote of no confidence? It shows he has not experiemented with "single" founder startups or he has not learnt anything about how single-founder startups are run most effectively...(They have to be extra caution when taking decisions as they have to look from all perspectives)I can say much more but there is no use in "saying" this to bunch of people who believe that his article and words are like "Bible" for the startups.

I like to quote a proverb that says "What you see is a lie,What you hear is a lie,So do investigate and find out the truth"

Some founders doesn't have the goal to grow the company their goal is to bring in a change in the lives of people :)

How can you say it's as a stupid post?

Startup is all about taking risks.If you are not willing to see someone down with good idea and who has pitched it very well just because the startup has a single founder it shows how bad are you.

If he is not willing to take controlled risks then he should not in VC business itself.Someone comes to you with a good but world changing idea but will you reject the person just because he/she is the sole founder of that startup..that shows how bad you are..

Examples of Single founder Startups who became Large MNC's Ebay,Amazon etc.,

P.S : I waited for others to reply!

It's a Facebook app which allows you to browse websites and share links quickly.pls check it out

Yes that's right because I have android

Within 8 months I made 5 apps which would be useful to people in one way or another..

Stats are wrong..

It's not a RSS Reader/Text Browser..It's somethingt hing like Readability/Instapaper which would just display content of any article..(The problem here is I don't know by what name I should refer my app :D)

The apps you are referring to may do it only for certain sites with RSS feeds but not for all sites..That's where the difference between mine and others

This app gives you a readability experience for all websites(Just displaying the content of an article)

First it would display list of articles ---> Then Choose a article ---> Displays only the content of an article

I think I am communicating it in a wrong way...I think I should change the name of the app first!!

Yes I think I need to work on my marketing vigorously

It's not a RSS reader..It displays a list of articles from a site and once you click on article it would display only the content of the article..I have already listed the reasons above

Main features:Less data usage,Low load times for users,easier to read content

Business model 1:I am going to let website publishers display their textlink ads in between the paragraphs of an article (They would have their own links) My revenue stream: A link in the list of articles as well as a link at the top of article

Business Model 2:A single link between the paragraphs by revenue sharing between the publisher and myself

I already have mailed them and no response...You got to have friends in the industry or you got to be from Silicon valley to get into there

Features of my app:

a)It only presents you textonly version of any article (Only content)

b) Less data usage for users as the content is cached on my servers (Only necessary content would be displayed..No need to load images,css etc.,)

c) Less hosting costs for website owners (Again content is cached on my site)

d)No need for RSS feed, just enter the url --->Click on article ---> start reading

It's bit like readability..The basic difference between mine and readability is you need to input a url for readability whereas for mine it's not..You don't need RSS feed for reading articles,Enter any site's url and you can read only the content from articles,Here is a couple of screenshots for TechCrunch (It displays only the content of the article)

When I am saving data usage for users and giving them a good interface to read articles on mobile phones (android) why shouldn't I get a pitch?

If you need try it out here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly...

It works with most of the sites(80%) except the sites which have been coded badly...

Text Only in android browser which strips out unwanted content and it displays only the needed text in a simple format.It supports more than 80% of websites..

you gave me a better idea than what I am currently implementing..but the bigger problem is only few had tried placing bets via tweeting..
