I am very much part of the organising committee for the yatra, but the chaps on the ground are doing a fabulous job, so am just advising right now. Speak soon.

Hope all’s well with you.

I am very much interested in this talk, but since I fast on Tuesday’s I can’t make it to the lunch. Just Kidding! Can I request you to blog about this or upload a recording after the talk?

I am on the board of Network of Indian Professionals in LA. We have about 2300+ people on our newsletter mailing list and around 900 on our facebook group. We market all of our events through our newsletter and fb, but I am not sure if we are doing it in an effective manner. And since you are an online marketing guru, I was hoping to learn something from you.

Btw, are you going to be on the yatra this year?

Thanks for pointing out the focus of EOS. Appreciate that the cost equation for media companies will make the investment viable. I found that some of the principles used in EOS of content oriented interaction, identity logic and modular design could be applied on a wider scale. As businesses become more accepting of the cloud - is there a play for the something similar focused around specialist content on a smaller scale?

As a Saas, Eos actually should be more affordable to media companies than the alternative of building and maintaining a custom-built platform — even if they’re licensing the major bits, but stuck with integrating and managing that system.

One nuance is that Eos was built specifically for media companies that want to deploy large PORTFOLIOS of community sites built around their content. A core focus of Eos’ integrated approach is to enable media companies to realize economies of scale in building and growing large number of branded, interactive sites. With that focus, the features currently in Eos may not be as interesting to smaller companies that only want to deploy a handful of sites.

Cheers.

Some other examples are sheer inspiration - the Rhino beetle, provides this to anyone facing a ‘unsurmountable’ challenge!

Thanks for your comments.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the following. Most of these animals possess a particular strength and they use it as a primary method for survival. A Leopard Turtle doesn’t get aggressive like an Elephant Shrew nor does a Buffalo Weaver go solo like an Antlion. Shouldn’t a firm focus on one or two strategies and make sure they are best in it rather than trying to implement several different strategies.
