Recently, Cymric found an article on the story of Friendster http://www.inc.com/magazine/20070601/features-how-to-kill-a-great-idea_pagen_3.html
Ok while I am waiting for my computer to repartition its harddisk, let me continue on the Story of Fresbo ...
So the team is formed with 4 person, me, Gvinto, Cymric, and the graphics guy. I couldn't remember exactly when is the date but I believe it is around the month of May 2005 when the exams are just over. Gvinto and the graphics guy have officially graduated. Cymric and I are still going for our final year in university.
This goes long long way back in 2005 ...
Back then, suddenly, I decided to start a company. During that time, I was near the end of my third year in university, going on to the final year fourth year. So i thought, hmm ... what business should I do.
So a number of thoughts go through my mind. First, I ruled out B2B because I am still young and to do B2B well, u need to have good connections with the people in the industry. In order to build the connections, you have to be in the industry for a few good years, which I think is a too slow and vague process.
