It seems to be following a different path and more importantly, not evolving fast enough in what it does anyway(development cycles are too slow by looking at progress made as detailed in blogs, online, by product iteslf etc. etc.). Build fast using a agile/XP based on RAD principles and in no time scoopler will become leading. It is not starting first in a race that is important, but how fast you can run. Any comments etc. or further queries mail me at babulmiah at yahoo dot com. Thanks, Babul. Dont worry about shyftr.

It seems to be concentrating on sharing feeds rite? I haven't had a chance to try it out properly but it doesn't look quite the same as Scoopler.

Just put scoopler up on the live internet and let user demand determine the direction to take and features to build. That way you can really build what people really want and focus your energy into development and user experience rather than trying to create concepts that may not be wanted (yet) as they do not add value (yet). At least at this stage it will save you lots of time and energy :D Good luck in Silicon Valley and hope the YC/Paul Graham pitch runs smooth although you don't have anything to worry about as you and D will definetly get into YC even if not with the original scoopler concept. Take care, Babul. Hi AJ,
