Thanks everyone, for your kind words. It’s nice to see people get behind the team – they have worked and continue to work, extremely hard. We’ve come a long way, but it’s a long road.

p.s. Mike – don’t forget to implement the email subscription for comments

@ Jim – that’s what I was going to say LOL.

Sounds interesting – there’s quite a few big players in this market doing the same thing as each other…someone doing something “different” is certainly called for, looking forward to having a gander at it.

“The amount of funding was not disclosed”

It says £150k on Paul’s blog

Cool.

Fabio – Allow me to explain. “Stealth” means the startup’s actual application has not been revealed on the public stage. That fact that the startup is in existence is NOT a secret. I actually haven’t seen the Wubud app, although I assume I am going to get to see it, and then write about it… assuming it’s worth writing about! It’s a bit like Powerset, the so-called “Google killer” in Silicon Valley. That startup is still in “stealth mode”, but is already being written about because the press have found out about it and it’s even revealed a preview of what it might do when (or if) it officially launches:

I hope that helps.

Well done Paul, chat about other aspects soon…..

Mike, first off mine wasn’t an accusation and most of all it wasn’t to you. I just find quite bizarre the way some people act sometimes.
If you want to keep everything stealth and secret to create expectation and hype around your company then do it, I have no problems about it. But this case sounds a bit clumsy to me.
Anyway, it’s not my business so I’ll just back off.

Fabio – What are you implying? If you want to make accusations then make them, don’t fuck around. If a startup is happy I’ve writenabout them, that’s their business. I couldn’t give a fuck either way about whether they are happy or not. A story is a story. Stories about people getting actual cash money for their startup is often more of a story than not.

Congratulations Pauls! Best of luck with Wubud!

Ironic, the start up is in stealth mode and the amount undisclosed but Paul Walsh retweet Mike’s tweet and says “Thanks Mike ”
Sorry, thanks for what? For trying to disclose something that you apparently don’t want to disclose? For the *hype*? Thanks for what?
