DISQUS

but... this is how it was supposed to go. Maybe nobody told you that someday you will have to restart from scratch. But it's definitely part of the release often process.

We are far away from the promised "Second Life for muslims"...

hey, there is somebody supposedly called "Yamout Salam" (literally : kill peace) on the organizers board. Is this supposed to be funny? or is it an agenda? :)

hey, guys don't fsck with symbols and arabs. they're pretty touchy on the issue.

done.

(actually it's been done since long time now but I just came across this page again)

now, THIS, is really weird :)

right. two words about the methodology should also help.

These numbers seem fictitious to me. Tunisian Credit cards can't be used for online payment and prepaid credit cards are not available in Tunisia.

this idea is crazy genius! especially considering that most arab people can't even vote in their country.

the site seems not up to date. the reseller for Tunisia has a dead link. after googling his name i found he was actually in Algeria.

for me, it's a fake reseller.

IMHO expect .ibm and .nokia more than anything else.

IMHO, the worst is when some company says it's "the first in ". the only thing they demonstrate is they don't have a clue.

come on. this, is the internet people. if you make a search engine, you compete with google. period.

congrats to yamli.
but... look at the complete list of winners :

there must be 100 winners, no kidding :)

I think it's not a really serious competition. I mean there is even a prize called "Best Website Built on Microsoft Technology". It's just like every website built in 2008 in the arab world has won :)

having done a business plan, I can tell two things :

1- it's painful to write

2- it's quickly outdated

If a VC asks me for a business plan I have to make a new one from scratch. my business plan is 6 months old.

I think this kind of things is for business people. And since I think only tech guys should make a tech startups. I think it's useless and VCs should stop asking about it.

hi Darrb people,
I think it's simply a great idea. Although I find the word "deliver" is misleading. "transport" would be more appropriate.

I think the service is a killer and that it would benefit from a better designed homepage.

Thank you Marwen for mentioning markkit. I really appreciate.

You're probably right, it's missing the "my highlights" feature. Till this morning, I always left it for later. But since you asked for it, I'm giving it to you.

I'll probably deliver it in a week or two. so stay tuned and follow the markkit blog.

Any other feature request in the audience? anybody? :-)

"Isn't that a little bit like saying that having the right idea DOES matter?"

exactly. if 1 right idea is worth $1000000, and if 1 in a 1000000 idea is good. then and idea is worth $1. that's nothing given the current $ course.

"It also requires good judgment in order to choose the right route"

of course. but this is not the idea value. it's the persons value. a person with good judgment is actually worth $1000000.

don't care about productivity. enjoy your freedom. and focus on making your product smaller, to deliver faster with less work.
