Hi all, My name is Andrew Goldstiver. My background is in engineering, product management, financial planning and now usability consulting. I've been on the group a little while, about time I spoke up!
I'm been trying to start my own web business for a while, the most success I've had is with Sprixi www.sprixi.com which I designed and built (in rails) with some hired help. Sprixi is an image search tool that focuses on free, creative commons images that are easy to find, choose and then use. Due to competing commitments I took it offline a few months ago but I'm going to attempt to get it up and running again over the next month or so. By "success" I mean I've built a useful free product that is in demand. So while I'm confident there is a return on investment somewhere to be had, I'm now trying to find it and grasp it! Hobby project + monetisation = business. In any case I've learnt a lot from the experience. Nice to meet you all, Andrew (aka Goldy) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list. Guidelines on discussion: http://tr.im/ujKF No lurkers!
