Yo! This is "pitch-night", right?<p>Ok, either I'm the greatest lier in the world or this is a great idea.<p>People of ages 12 and 79 and your daughters or sons, are not the same consumer groups and neither are sixty-year old Islandians, so we have a very large world market with one market leader, Google, and this market has many segments, language, culture and age wise and a segment that is the market of Sweden. This is web search for Swedish students.<p>It's a small segment of the world market. We don't need a lot of money. Instead we want to start with Swedish, English and Nigerian. Here is how we beat the leaders of those segments.<p>We work with open source, cutting-as-hell-edge of course, Very Good UI (TM), and as openly as would possibly make any market sence, which is MIT I think, the "do what the fuck you want" license, because that is our intention with the tech, that our tech should be everyone's tech.<p>Once a year we contribute whatever closed source we've been working on, unless we feel that source is what gives us an edge. If we feel we have source code that all of a sudden contributes to positive trends market-wise for us, then that code will not be released openly.<p>If we're way ahead, way, way ahead of the market, well, then that code will be our's but just for a while. We need our pay-day. We need to stash up. We need to get a little ahead, tech and money wise. Then after a while we'll release, whatever code we feel we can entrust you with, because, haha, we have something even better. We'll make it so that you never catch up.<p>Will we be evil? Who are you or, can say at this point in time? Not me. I don't think I'm evil. But who knows when a complete shitload of money drops on your ass. A shitload times a shitload. Like him Zuckerberg. Look at him. Turns out, he's evil as shit!<p>So most likely we'll be working fully in the open for a while, code wise. How much does that cost?</pre>
