Brajeshwar,
Let me congratulate you for the buzz that you have managed to create with oCricket. Ill savemy other compliments when the portal gets on rolling full on!
It’d be great if you can share your thoughts on the genesis of oCricket and how it would be differentiated OR the USP of the portal that would be projected to drive users.
Any insights into the not so obvious biz model (if any) would be synergistic with pluggD.in too
Good Luck!

@RC From our point of view, we’re doing the beta because we’re on a lean machine – slicehost’s cheapest hosting option. By way of invites, we can let only a handful during our initial start and see our growth prospects and thus also steer our plans according to user feedback. Moreover, in our current scenario, we’re moving everything to Amazon AWS – EC2, SQS and CloudFront. Thus, we want to take it slow.

@S It is barren because we’re just starting. I’m beginning to talk with media providers, et al but we’re just starting.

@mayank Well, let’s watch. I won’t even say anything at this moment even though I’m an insider and know what’s happening here. You’re are pretty smart to predict our stuffs by looking at our primary screenshot! Awesome.

I checked out ocricket.com.. must say the site is barren.. theres no content worthy of a dekho.. a google search on cricket can be more interesting. dunno wat are they upto.

@RC.. in my opinion a beta invite methodology will only work if ur product has/is able to generate a significant buzz… otherwise u are shooing away a potential user who might never turn up again.

I checked out the website. I have a question to ask. How much does this Join by invitation methodology have an impact? Or to put it in other words – Is it a good way to start?
