What is this? 1998? Because around that time there used to be a very similar startup called Chequemail. I got a cheque of Rs 300/- from them for not even checking my mails! Sadly, economics took over very soon (damn!). I think they were out of business (if I may call it that) even before the Bubble Burst.
I feel funny (and nostalgic).
PS: Things like these really make me wanna blog!

It’s nice to meet someone from those days. i worked at egurucool those days. Those where crazy days. I knew these guys who raised Angel funding for Mumbai based BBS.
