Startup.com was very insightful I imagine that it is hard to
start up a company and this movie shows that. There are a lot of factors that
go into creating and maintaining a business, not only that but you have to make
sure that who you are working for has the same plan in mind or you come to a
divide that could ultimately shut your whole business down, which is what we
kind of saw with the situation between the two co-founders, they were not on
the same page which was a main factor in the demise of this company. Another factor
to the website not being successful was the lack of uniqueness from other sites.
I feel like when you go in to make your own company you have to think about the
possibilities of other people doing or thinking the same things as you, I think
a little more research into the kind of work that the founders wanted this site
to perform and if others were doing it those things and how they were doing it
would have gave this team a better view on how they could be different and rise
above. One think that I was happy about at the end of the film was that both
co-founders maintained their long friendship that had got them that business to
start with. That made me happy because it showed a really good example of keeping
things professional and not letting the job in between personal relationships,
they are very strong people for that, and that’s what I commend them on out of
everything lol.
Okay but my question is what is Friendster? and when was it ever popular? Actually, scratch that I looked up what Friendster is/ was... for those who don't know (like me) what this site was, it was to begin with a social networking platform that was founded by Jonathan Abrams and the company had a goodish run till about 2015. The platform became a social gaming site, which originally based in California but now it is in Malaysia. Alright so enough with that, Epic was a very interesting short film altogether. I would have to say that maybe if I did not know what google and amazon were... maybe live under a rock... and that's not to discriminate in any way... but both platforms are enormously popular. With this film saying that these two platforms came together that's what made me sit in my chair and really think if that was a thing... which it wasn't btw, but after looking up if it was a real thing and all... ya know cause I didn't trust my mind at that moment.. ...
