It is a year for me here. A year of discovery so to say! A year of around 6000 blurbs and 200 bytes. A year of reading, learning, writing and in the process meeting some great people. People who are interesting, funs, sensitive as also people who are controversial, biased or just judgmental. Diversity as it should be. It has been a glorious joyride. Staying up at nights, searching for stories, reading great stuff, working hard...all at Xomba. Moreover, it has all been immensely enjoyable except for a few rare occasions.
Xomba is evolving, fast and furious. So where will it be one year down the line... ten years down the line...
What do we have now? A social network with say 15000 members (sorry Nick, if I have got it wrong), an adsense sharing site where some members have made really big money, a portal with the latest news and in-depth reviews, lately a Xomba shop with special edition (sounds good) items and all these combined with Abmox and contests to keep even the dead interested! That’s a big deal to have achieved in a little over two years. One year from now… maybe we will have a fantasy league to draw in a more loyal sports crowd, a more evolved shop, some more in looks and features to rival the Big Ones and much more.
But ten years from now? Well, I see Xomba in the league of Google, Microsoft, Yahoo (as they are now; I don’t think these three will still be ruling the roost in a decade.) And why not? Our CEO is only twenty plus and has already shown tremendous vision and looks set to rule in the long run. Google started as “The Perfect Search Engine”, so will it be Xomba- “The Perfect Website” in a few years?
Three Cheers!
