Kinda sounds like a reasonable philosophy for Micro-ISVs, eh? At least as a starting point for one.
Especially after today’s major Skype outage, previously mentioned over here.
I’m thinking that today would be a good day for uISVs to use this outage to contemplate where we are too dependent on someone else, and where we need to setup alternative arrangements. And not just for our VOIP needs either, I’m sure we all have other services which we may need to have alternative arrangements in place for too.
I’m sure Gizmo has received quite a few new signups today…

As I’ve been reviewing some of my old feeds and links, I’ve been surprised by the number of ISV blogs and domains that are non-existent. Wow! Has reality really hit that many people that hard? I realise starting any business on your own is hard, but I thought the dreams and ideas of people would be enough motivation to keep slogging away at this. Apparently not.
That is sad, as Ian Landsman was referring to recently regarding how different things seem to be among Micro-ISVs…
“I guess this goes to show you that starting a MicroISV is still starting a business. It still takes incredible persistence. The barrier to entry may be lower, but only a small percentage actually make it the entire way.”
Very true. Even more so when you’re bootstrapping! Although, I may not be as far along as I expected by now, I’m still here, the dream is still alive and I am still determined to succeed.
