Intruders.tv interview on Kindo (about scale/product/marketing/revenue)

Was at Open Coffee last week (looking for developers), and did this interview with Vincent and Eugene from Intruders.tv on Kindo. Talked about how we’ve tackled some of the usual web app issues like scaling our userbase, internationalisation, product dev, marketing tricks, revenue generation….

From Ryan:

Hello!

I recently worked with the guys behind http://www.welovelocal.com who are giving away £10 Amazon gift vouchers to anyone who writes 10 reviews on local businesses in London (businesses include restaurants, bars, hairdressers, plumbers, etc) – easy! It’s like the yellow pages but with a community feel to it. Most businesses will already be listed in their directory but if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can easily add the business to the site.

The site is all about getting local feedback and as it’s new, the more reviews they get the better the site will be - hence the £10 gift voucher incentive. These type sites are pretty big in the valley but yet to take off in Europe. It could end up being a great resource for finding local businesses if people interact with it…

Feel free to let your friends know too.

Ryan

Give it a whirl if there are businesses you think deserve it!
