Write off MeraVideo
Late last year, a supposed YouTube clone - MeraVideo, created ripples across the blogosphere and other media when they claimed to be close to receiving $1.5 million VC funding. To this date, there have been no confirmed reports that any such deal has taken place. MeraVideo founder, Kanwaldeep Kalsi, evaded the question posed to him by Kiruba as part of a PodTech interview.
Well, the site today is in shambles - sleaze and semi-porn content thrive on the site. I wonder why they’re even paying for the bandwidth and hosting expenses. I’m writing off them as officially dead ( probably we need to have a deadpool similar to TC 
).
Nonetheless, Kanwaldeep took the entire media and blogosphere for a big ride - got tonnes of publicity and got people talking. Well, in the long term, I think he’s hurt himself and his credibility.
A huge, huge HOAX.
I wonder how and why we (including Podtech and Rediff) fell for it. What should be done to avoid recurrences of such events ?

India’s latest and greatest Meravideo has had an unique concept and collaborating within the Tech network to bring an all-around conception of a vision not yet seen before. Kanwaldeep is bringing value and allowing the media to judge for itself as it brings out its brands new concepts in public. No Comments by Kanwaldeep Kalsi should speak for itself that there is more to come and not allow GOSSIP to overtake him and his creditability.
