*Firstly, don't characterize competition as a 8MM gorilla, when they are a start...

Even when they raised $8M in funding?

Yes. $8MM doesn't mean they have customers/users.

I dont quite understand the relevance of that? $8M is probably a lot of money from where this guy is sitting :)

It's amazing how much money rich organizations can waste, and how much time they can spend on the wasting.

They can get tempted to reinvent a better wheel for $$$, rather than reusing existing wheels for cheap; then they get sucked into a time/money sink of epic proportions while the simpler solution grows like a weed.

Not what always happens, but what can happen.

$8MM is a lot of money but that doesn't mean it will be spent wisely. During the dot-com days I worked for a company that had $30MM in funding and pissed every cent of it away.
