Thanks for this list. I’d never heard of In.com. What a great URL.

The post is right on the money, all these companies have built “natural” products which people have liked and adopted at the same time all of them have used different techniques to get the traction they have.

Zoho
– fine product
- very low prices as compared to competition
- very much talked about in the influencer tech blogs of the world
- low or no marketing expenses

TringMe
- great product
- some viral built in
- excellent B2B deals to reach customers and third party developers
- low or no marketing expenses

In.com
- OK product
- find every thing in one place
- free new hindi music
- a lot of Mass media publicity to push the product and traffic
- The real test would be to maintain the visitor engagement once the mass media is over
