Guruji to Launch Ringtone search

August 4, 2009
By sinha

Guruji is launching mobile ringtone search product that enables one to search for ringtones across the web and mp3s (as early as 1932).

Guruji, as we mentioned earlier has sort of found it’s mojo with music search (its’ a different matter that they got sued by Tseries for helping them find pirated copy).

The ringtone search product is currently on invite basis (you can jump the queue by inviting your friends).

While there is a general increase in traffic (triggered by spend on Google adwords), do you think these services will take Guruji to the next level?

    They’ve lost it. They have no clue.

    I think they should close shop and return whatever investor’s money is left.

    I agree with Ramesh.They should shut their shop.

    And what more funny is that still VCs are putting their money in this company.VCs should fund more innovative companies rather than this copy-and-paste company.

    Well,

    I have heard things are not good there, the co-founder is gone, a senior guy was recruited but left within months and all of a sudden there is exodus of engineering talent (I’m not sure if it is voluntary or forced).

    @ramesh So let’s see if “They’ve lost it.”

    Now Google Adsense is completely monetizing their revenues for web,city,music,image and movietiming products. Tyro has also manage to rule guruji on their music product.

    Interesting stuff is, sites like songs.pk and thehindimusic.com banned by google adsense due to piracy, guruji.com is helping them to earn from google adsense through their ad-network account!

    WOW Guruji! What an Adsense Premium Publisher !!!

    Yea, they have really lost it. Guess they never had it because the model was way too much of a copy paste. People are leaving the company regularly. Co-founder left and some other senior folks are on the verge of leaving.
