"Brand
is built online, not through advertising (a 'dire need' to
advertise is a sure shot indicator of likely failure), but
through word of mouth. Which in turn comes from a product
that is unique in some way globally. If you're a me-too, forget
it, there's no room for you online." ..........Mahesh
