We’re flattered by the fact that you’ve been tracking us for quite sometime. It took us time because there are lot more cool stuffs going underneath the skins that you see now.

Watch us further and we’ll surprise users with more nifty tools and dirt-easy to use tools.

About getting user base, user signups and content and how cricbuzz did the buzz! Well, we’ve a bit of a different business model and this place will be too small for that discussion.

We at oCricket will try our best to make it enjoyable for users.

Its easy to say that. It takes much more to actually launch something.

you put it quite succinctly. Lets give OCricket some time to give it a shot.

It took quite some time for Orkut to pick up in India as well. When I joined Orkut in the initial days, there were hardly any Indians on it. And look where it stands now.

It takes a while for the network effect to happen in a socio net.

I have been following OCricker for past 5-6 months when it was still in private beta and the speed with which they have been executing troubles me.
i expected them to go public a lot earlier, i am not sure what kept them so long.
i see a lot of social networks based on cricket already out there.

the differentiating factor between cric info and any other cricketing website is the content. the quality of content and interview is really good and none of the other sites are comparable to it.

they might take a clue from cricbuzz which has carved a niche by cric chat which led to their popularity rather than competing in content which is a very expensive affair.

i doubt a startup like OCricker would be able to compete as far as content is concerned. secondly social networks have no technical barrier. user base is the only thing which will be the differentiating factor and how they are gonna crack it, will have to wait and see.

all the best to OCricket team.

I think we need to realize what is a difference between a great app vs a company. So, far I don’t see a revenue model. I don’t see any ads either (I guess for now).

I understand that it takes a lot to get even a simple app on the web. It seems like Brajeshwar and his team did a good job in creating a good looking site with pre-populated and automated content. They might be able to pull off the traffic as well, but then what?

wake up people get innovative

good luck folks!
