Its amazing how fast SaaS companies or at-least good ones are growing..


It's that sweet sweet recurring + expansion revenue.

Edit: I should add -- this is what makes SaaS companies such a lucrative yet risky investment. It takes a lot of inside knowledge, and reading tea-leaves if a SaaS co will take off or not.


its funny that the published date on this article is Jul 27th.. I thought today is 26th!!


Probably a result of the common forward-publishing-date that a majority of the publishing industry does (magazines you receive in July dated August 2008, etc.) This story is probably set to be published and released on the print version tomorrow, the 27th.


NYT book review comes with the Sunday edition but is delivered to homes and published online with the Saturday edition.


It could have been dated in Australian time... given we appear to be a day ahead of you guys at times :)


Simple fun site to review companies.

http://www.pingmycompany.com


As I represent PingMyCompany.com so I will be honest.

All your concerns are true but the perspective of this site was to get all the possible views without the fear of finding out who did it.

Its just a fun site we put up in 2 days so we plan to make it more reliable if we get good response.

I will appreciate your suggestions if it can improve the sites credibility.


"... As I represent PingMyCompany.com so I will be honest. ..."

Excellent. Why not just say this is mine? Anyway I tried it. It reminds me as a cross between trumors and F@#ked company that was all the vogue after the last tech crash. The beauty of trumors is it's a vertical twitter. The value is both entertaining and the sliced categories ready made for advertising. As more users add & use the service there must be some interesting things you could infer.

Get enough stories and users and you can even spin off the data to another site. For instance ~ http://alltop.com/

  Put the site to work.
  I wonder how well it 
  would work as a tool 
  to measure company 
  problems ? 
Stand behind it. Make it clear what it is. And what it is not. Read here for an idea how trumors place the product and their company ~ http://truemors.com/about/


I represent PingMyCompany.com and yes I did asked/pushed everyone I know to vote for this, so I wont be surprised if these accounts were just created.

But to be honest I didnt pushed to write good reviews :-) they just did it in good faith.. i guess.
