SECOND: WHY THE LOW SIGNAL?

However, sometimes Entrepreneurs can be grumpy’ and the connection signal ‘faulty’, resulting in more online ‘Noise’, than online ‘Signal’; Something which forces the interviewer, to edit and ask several times the same questions… which can create awkward interview moments, like that one below with Anuj AGARWAL, CEO of US/India outfit, Feedspot:

1. ADMPawards : Hello! Can you introduce yourself ? Can you tell us about your early career, before Feedspot ?

There’s isn’t anything worth talking about before… Nothing much we did before Feedspot, really. After University graduation, we vaingloriously failed and crashed one startup. And then, Feedspot happened ! !

2. ADMPawards : …Or ‘History in the making’: You came, you saw and you are still alive! → What does FEEDSPOT mean to ‘Real’ people ? Where are you actually based, please ?

The company is based in the US, in the Bay area of San Francisco in the United States of America. We also operate from Mumbai, India, too. It is a US-Indian joint-venture, almost.

3.What do YOU do on a day-to-day basis, to make sure Feedspot stays ‘in the Zeitgeist’ and relevant to web surfers & browsers ??

I’m not sure I’m getting the nexus of the question, here…

4. ADMPawards : Us neither! No worries. (#GrumpYEntrepreneur) – You seem to be busy and the connection is not as good as we thought! How does Feedspot, work ?

Feedspot ranks websites and Blogs. But it is also, to put it ‘simply’, a reader. Call it even a ‘Smart reader’: You can add any number of news website or blog which has a valid RSS FEED.

Feedspot gets new updates from all the websites we do rank. Feedspot is your one-stop news stand, where you will gather all the relevant news feeds to you or your organisation! ⇒ So that you can read it all, from one place.

5.You seem to be using similar technology as the now dead Google reader? What was your relationship with Google RSS Feed team ??

Feedspot is independant and intend to remain so. We have no affiliation with Google reader.

6. We wouldn’t get the info either ways! Let’s hope the relationship is still going on between the two of you, at least through secret channels! ==> You could probably assist them in their ‘Fake news’ department!:)) – How many companies are registered today on your platform ?

FeedSpot is open for all consumers. Businesses and individuals, Bloggers, Youtubers, #Instagram models, whatever…! Companies do not have to register in any ways shape or forms.

7. ADMPawards : How can one, become a member of Feedspot? How do you pay and what would be the benefits?

You can simply Sign Up, which is as easy as you say it! Then you can choose to use our premium version called « FeedSpot Gold ».

8. We still don’t know the price, but we courageously plough in, with this awesome follow-up question: Do you plan to one day, accept cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin payments?

We use to accept #Bitcoin payments, …when the current scales issues did not slow down the entire system. Now, it is a different day and we can not use it anymore for Business!

“ Bitcoin payments are no longer an option on the #Feedspot platform: BITCOIN? OUT !!’

9. ADMPawards : Haven’t heard of Bitcoin cash? Nevermind! : Sir, what is your plan for world domination’ in the future?

We have no plan to dominate the world, yet. We are simply focused on providing a top quality reader service and be the best at what we do, in that particular field.
