Google Search Engine with all its promise as a cure for all information ills, on hindsight, proved to be just a colorful pre-(GOOG)IPO glitz. Post-IPO, Google is a donkey in many respects. The GOOG style FaceBook IPO build up formula is simple: Get a working prototype with a lot of promising possibilities. Build some traction - Universities with free Internet connections are good starting points. Use Tom Sawyer tactics as needed. Entice the 'responsible influencers' ( Read CIOs and such, JP for Example) with projection and future possibilities. Make them talk nice things about the possibilities - even if a small percentage of what is promised is delivered it is a good deal for them: good return for just good words! Engage the geeks at large - another set of suckers who will fall for Tom Sawyer tactics - entice them with rotten apples and dead rats - they simply love them! Build revenue. Just add disruption and create more revenue. Create more hype. IPO. Consolidate. Promises? What Promises? Let the promises remain unfulfilled - lest the breeding ground for another pre-IPO glitz dry up. And lest the influencers have nothing topical to sing in praise. -Balaji S. Chennai, India.
