hello world my name is Mike plugger and, here at vis me we want to help you take, the proper steps in brainstorming is the, perfect logo first impressions are, everything for people this likely starts, with our appearance you likely made an, initial judgment on me just based on my, hair color or my black vis me polo, online first impressions come from our, social media profile pictures what's, that one picture that you're okay with, the entire world seeing now for, companies a first impression is often, made from a logo yes a simple image can, either direct an individual towards or, away from an entire company just like, pictures do with people the average, person might not realize it but logos, are also representations of what a brand, stands for everything from their values, to their mission to their story this is, why it's crucial to have the right logo, for your brand so where do you begin, don't fret in this video I'll give you, some ideas to help you realize your, perfect logo let's get started, brainstorm brainstorm brainstorm I, cannot say it nothing while it seems so, obvious and easy I have a couple pieces, of advice to ensure you're making the, most of your time first find the right, time to sit down and let your creative, juices flow for me it's often right when, I put my head on a pillow to close my, eyes and go to sleep for others it might, be when you're on your way to work with, a coffee in hand then whenever you're, feeling the most creative let it rip do, your best to stay focus in avoid, distraction brainstorming can often lead, to a chain reaction once an initial idea, comes to mind, more will start flooding in and hey, don't just let your ideas hang out in, your head put your thoughts to paper, whether a brilliant idea or something, that you're a little hesitant about, making note of all of your ideas will, come in handy later on down the road and, lastly when you're all tuckered out from, your brainstorm session let your ideas, marinate get away from it for at least, 24 hours and then revisit your ideas, you'll have fresh eyes and this will, help you decide what will or will not, work when it, comes to the branding portion of your, brainstorm a challenge for any company, is determining its brand what's the, story what are the goals moving forward, is there a mission statement what does, your brand stand for these are all, crucial questions to answer when, deciding on a logo that resonates with, your brand it's okay if you don't have, the answers to these questions just yet, because after all that is what I'm here, for so I have three easy steps to help, you get on a brand first write a list of, adjectives that you feel best describe, your brand maybe your brand is delicate, mature or unique and original write a, minimum of 25 adjectives to start before, narrowing it down to the five that you, feel fit best next write down how you, want people to feel about your brand, maybe you will others to see your brand, as fearless or dependable or adaptive, create the ideal perception for your, brand and lastly for getting on brand, what emotions do you want to instill in, others from your logo so they be excited, should they feel a sense of calmness, maybe you want them to feel all warm, inside whatever the case may be this, will help shape your design later on, now that you know the feelings that you, want to exude create an inspiration, board like Pinterest you might be asking, yourself in my answer to that is yes, it's just like Pinterest find designs, colors fonts images styles anything in, the design world that grabs your, attention and put all those inspirations, into one place like on a physical poster, board so later you can identify trends, that you like the most as you're looking, for inspiration keep in mind if you'd, like an image-based logo text-based logo, or a combination of the two there's, seven different types of logos each, emphasizing fonts colors and styles just, a little bit differently there's letter, mark or monogram logos and some of the, more famous letter mark logos include, HBO CNN in a personal favorite of mine, KFC a second option is word marks or, logo types these are quite similar to, letter mark logos except these logos, focus on the name alone as the companies, have distinct names several social media, companies use pictures and logo symbols, these are most often used by established, companies who are instantly recognizable, abstract logos can be completely unique, to your brand think of Pepsi I have no, idea what their logo is exactly but I do, instantly recognize the brand the second, I see the logo mission accomplished and, a job well done maybe you have a mascot, associated with your brand if so why not, make the mascot your logo they're, recognizable and fun think Pringles, kool-aid or mr. peanut from planters the, combination mark logos are exactly as, they sound, take the name of a company add an image, to it and you have the combination mark, logo in the last logo type that we have, is the emblem these are much more, traditional and are often used by, schools or massive organizations such as, Harvard and the National Hockey League, there's three aspects of your logo that, you want to carefully consider the font, the color in the style the typography, that you choose can help reinforce your, brand story make sure that the font that, you choose matches the adjectives you, use to describe your brand when you look, at your board, are there particular colors that you, favorited more than others maybe you, like bright reds and blues or maybe you, often pick from the greyscale the colors, you choose can help determine how you're, perceived lastly what style trends do, you see on your board vintage looks, floral style may be hard lines in a more, modern look, make sure the Styles you liked factor, into your design all right you're in the, home stretch once you've developed some, ideas invite some others into designs to, add perspective it could be family or, friends previous clients mentors you, name it find someone that you trust and, get a second opinion then take a look at, what other logos look like in the same, field, this can help draw inspiration or it, could help show you what you don't like, just whatever you do don't steal other, people's designs another thing you can, do is to put yourself into your, customers shoes just like when analyzing, their feelings try to put yourself into, their minds do you like your logo then, and lastly the final step in the, brainstorm extravaganza is to not forget, the end game where do you see your logo, going on the website on business cards, in front of a building soon your logo, will be much bigger than a thumbnail on, a screen or a doodle on a piece of paper, okay it's time to stop watching me clear, yourself a distraction and submerge, yourself deep into your own thoughts and, hey once you nail down an idea look no, further than with viz me to help the, design process take flight don't forget, to subscribe to our Channel to see how, we can help you in your design life, we're always creating new content just, to help you thank you so much for, watching and good luck brainstorming for, now I'm Mike blogger with viz me helping, you make information beautiful, [Music], you, [Music]
What will be the top 3 trends in 2016, that shape how we build our startups?Hey there,
During the holidays I was thinking about how 2016 will be different, better than 2015. There are a lot of articles about emerging markets, technologies, but those are the focus of entrepreneurs. But I'm interested in what will change in how we build startups...
Here are my top 3 guesses.
1. Augmented productivity:
I'm a fan of the gig economy ever since I ordered the first $5 logo design from fiverr. And I'm just starting to explore MTurk. This year I'll put a lot of effort into learning how to combine these with workflow automation services like Zapier, and new AI stuff... I think such methods could multiple personal productivity. Inspired by the guy who automated 90% of his work.
http://www.businessinsider.com/programmer-automates-his-job-2015-11
2. Improved startup-building platforms:
It would be such a blessing to multiply the ratio of successful startups, and lower the pain of failing. I mean, 9 out of 10 startups fail even in developed startup hubs. That's one metric that we need to fix. Traditional incubators and accelerators are nice, but not too effective in mitigating risks. I loved how YC started Research (http://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-research), and even more, that there are now so much more startup studios (http://buildtogether.co/startup-studio-list), and finally there's a booklet (http://laicos.com/anatomy-of-startup-studios-is-out/) that explains in detail how these venture builders work.
3.Crowd*:
Besides perk based crowdfunding, there are more and more platforms where you can offer equity in your startup for support. That just adds to the option of the founders to get the money they need... who know, maybe even faster than angel money and with better than vanilla term sheet conditions.
What do you think, what are your picks?

,Ask HN: Shady or entrepreneurial approach to design?I am not a designer and I don't have gazillions of dollars to pay for a logo, but while I was researching about how to find a designer for a logo, I stumbled on this post:
http://startupbros.com/how-to-get-the-perfect-logo-designed/
I know of various critics about 99designs already, but this guy takes it to the next level. Ethics no more?
"and then messaging them to rub their ego and beg them to join your contest"
"I make it known that I like their past work and tell them they have been on my watch list (even if they haven’t)".
,Ask HN: Built a prototype for getting leads from social networksHello HN Community,
We recently built a prototype which helps get leads for businesses from social networks. By social network, we mean any places on the social sphere where people are genuinely raising enquires. Example: nowadays, a lot of Facebook groups for entrepreneurs and freelancers have grown so much. On these groups a lot of people post their queries and look for references. Example, someone might post that they need an Android Application done, a logo, content writer or even require an event agency. Being a service provider myself, I have received genuine leads from these groups. We are looking at smartly data mining these enquiries and showing these leads to the relevant business owners.
Our target audience would be SMEs and freelancers. They will be able to add the keywords associated with their business and leads associated with them will automatically appear on their Leadify dashboard. Then the business can contact them via our dashboard and try to close the deal.
We really want some support from the community in getting feedback. nHow can we improve it further? nWhat relevant data would a business owner want regarding the lead? nHow can we improve the lead generating experience of any business owner? nWhat problems does one face in normally getting leads? nHow much would a business owner be willing to pay if the product gives genuine value and helps convert 1-2 leads per month?
Here is the prototype version of the product - http://leadify.in
Looking forward to your valuable comments :)
Thank you.

,Show HN: TractionVC – Weekly Growth Challenges for Product-Focused-EntrepreneursAfter a couple of iterations the v1.0 of Traction.vc is now live.
Check it out here -> http://www.traction.vc
Traction.VC helps product-focused-entrepreneurs make a habit of working on growth. Many entrepreneurs randomly read something about marketing but fail at experimenting on different tactics to see which will help their startup grow.
It's very satisfying to work on a new feature, a nicer logo, a new website. Because you get immediate results. But it doesn't necessarily help your business grow.
Solution: Work on growth weekly. Traction.VC is all about forming the habit of working on growth. There are no silver bullets. However, a disciplined approach to growth will help you stumble upon the right channels that will push your business forward.
would love to have feedback/thoughts.
,NuNeMe like TechCrunch but for Latin America. I need your opinionI just started a project on my own my blog is http://www.nuneme.com. I'm really interested on startups from Latin America, what they are doing and where are they going. I'm writing it in Spanish for a couple of reasons:
-First i'm trying to reach mostly people that speaks spanish.
-There are a couple of sites out there about latam entrepreneurs, but i don't want to just make reviews about startups, i want to connect them so they can check if they can help/need each other(future plan)
-Latam needs right now are all about first steps in tech, first steps in entrepreneurship, etc, and i want to be part of that, i really want to help companies to grow and reach their goals
-Most people around the world have no idea what is going on with Latam Startups, not even Latam startups so i think i can help with that
I already have 3 companies for an interview and of course i need all the help i can get, i'm not doing this my full time job right away, but i've got a 6 month target to build this site and community and make a living out of it.
Btw I'm looking for a talented designer for my logo and general page design
Is the effort worth it? Am i going to be able to make it as a part time job?.
,Looking for CoFounder / 2cents?My name Will. I am 23. I live in LA. Going to school for marketing but also thinking about dropping out to join a startup or CREATE a startup. Im in the process of gathering advice. Im an aspiring entrepreneur! Not the 'idea man'. I dont have a get rich quick idea. Looking for someone who is willing to hear out my ideas and work with someone who believes in them or meet someone to tell me im a f*ing idiot. Anything works.
So, read below to check out projects I've worked on in the past or are currently working on now.
I am constantly thinking of ways to better the world and make certain things in life less complicated or constructive for the mass.
Ive been passionately trying to start a business since I was 18...and failed or pivoted many times. This is the order in which they have originated from.
I am still working on a few of them! Looking to hash them out more with other Entrepreneurs that believe in my vision or engineers that would like to assist in wire framing or designing beta sites/apps.
1st idea - MealDealz: Dining deals. Coupons and discounts for all the popular restaurants and fast food places. Now there are many alike.
2nd idea - MiServices: Directed toward younger individuals trying to make money on the side walking dogs or putting up christmas lights, etc but would like to be accredited through ratings. Something better than Craigslist but you're not licensed so you can't technically be on Angies list or Yelp.
3rd idea - Readr: Discover and share books you love and start a book club online. Have authors start a book club for their new releases, or fans start one. Now alike Goodreads.
4th idea - Betsy: make bets online and through our application with others on any topic from the Tech world, Entertainment, Sports, Politics, etc. Earn points, humblebrag and use the points to get cool rewards.
5th idea - standUP: organize all the online campaigns into one place. Enlighten people on common issues and how to take action through either petitions to congress, sharing the message or supporting the cause, etc. Show all the trending topics currently going on: Occupy Wall Street, GunControl, Internet Control, Oil Spill, Education, War on Drugs, etc. Then the main objective would be to help people establish their standpoint on the issue by showing all the different points of views and how they could easily take action all in one simple organized application. The app would be like the One campaign app.
Plus many other ideas! But these are the ones that I've either already worked on or are currently working on.
I am fascinated with the concept of building businesses, the surprises with successful marketing, and the power of social media and how much impact it has on the world.
I can assist in creating a business model. Assist in product design. Make Logo. Talk to potential customers, test design hypotheses. Figure out sales and marketing strategy, find beta users, warm up early adopters, performance tracking, online profiles, help create a blog. Research. Checking up on competitors and how they do business. Or help collectively create a meaningful mission statement explaining why we give this service/product.
Any advice works. Contact me:

,Ask HN: How can I “share” part of my code with a client?I'm bootstrapping a software project as a solo entrepreneur (currently closed-source, owned / written by me) and I soon plan to take on some consulting work on the side where it looks like it may make sense to let them use a small portion of the code I'm working on.
My question is, is there a way I can actually do that in such a way that I make sure they have the rights to use it however they need, without giving away the right to use my own code however I want in the future?
I'm starting with something that represents, say, 5% of my own project's code base, and part of what they're paying me for is to flesh that out in a way that's very customized for them.
My client is pretty accommodating and I think would be open to any reasonable suggestion, so my question is just about what makes sense to cover everyone's bases.
Something I'm considering is making that "5%" I start with open source, and using it as a package- anything "generic" goes there, while other things (like client-specific UI details / logo, or anything with sensitive client info) can just be totally owned by them.
Any suggestions about how to approach this, or resources / links that might cover this sort of situation?.
,Which color best represents an entrepreneur?A friend of mine, who is a designer asked me this question.
Actually we are trying to make a universal icon/logo to represent entrepreneurship or e.g a CEO's blog.
So this question just came out..
,Jumpstart BundleI work for the Entrepreneurship department at my school (clarku.edu) and am putting together a software bundle with apps that will help students get their businesses off the ground. We will make these bundles available to student teams that are ready to launch.
I already have 5 free accounts to Less Accounting and am looking for other useful apps. If any of you would like to donate 5 free accounts to your app please let me know. I will also put you down as a sponsor at our next big event in march and your logo will be featured on all the flyers and posters.
It would be great if some of you could help out.
Thanks, guys!

,Offer HN: will design your corporate identityI’m a professional designer with 10+ years of freelancing experience. I will help fellow entrepreneurs by designing their corporate identity for them for $1000 (normally $7000+). This includes:
Logo design
Letterhead design
Envelope design
Business card design
Notebook cover design
Company t-shirt design
So here's basically what you'll get: http://imgur.com/a/CLdKW
How it works:
Mail me ( johnyboltid@gmail.com ) your startup name and some information about what the business does
I will send you a link to complete a small upfront payment (So I'm sure you're committed, but no worries, you'll get a full refund if you're not happy with the process or end result)
I will then dive right in and start working on your corporate identity and when all the designs are finished, I will send over all the files and you can finish the payment. Again: Money back guarantee if you're not happy.
First I'll be working on a logo if you don't have any, based on that, the other designs will be rolled out rather quickly.

First come first served
Will only accept a limited amount of people in order to handle the work
Looking fwd helping you out..
,Ask HN: How long should it take to build this web app?Hey all,
I am a new developer, a first year CS student, and an aspiring entrepreneur. I am building my first 'real' web app this summer, and I am just looking for some general guidelines. I really don't know how long it is going to take, and I know a lot of this depends on the experience of the developer. So let me give you a little background on me:
I have been programming for about 2 years. I feel like my knowledge of Python is pretty good, although I never stop learning! I have been reading up on Django and have done the tutorial on models/views/etc. I also have done front end stuff, mainly playing around with HTML/CSS/Javascript, although I could definitely spend more time on learning Javascript/jQuery. I could go on, but I don't want to bore you to death, and I just am looking for an estimate anyways.
My app will handle many users at one time. It will basically be a CRUD app. The two things I really have to add in are Geolocation, and payments, both of which can be achieved through integrating third party services/API's. Everything except for logo design has to be done by myself.
So if I threw this at an experienced full stack developer, how long would it (approximately) take? How do I break something like this into smaller chunks to estimate the time it will take? And most importantly, how do I know which technologies I should brush up on prior to doing this - or do I just hack it and learn as I go?
Thanks in advance! Any tips - relevant to my question or not would be helpful as well!
EDIT: I am focusing solely on the tech side of things. While I know our product better than him, and very much contribute to our vision, he is responsible for handling business/legal/marketing etc..
,Ask HN: Should I Not Be Sad About White-Labeling My Product to a Fortune-50?Some context: I started a company over a year ago and having been busting my ass (along with my team of course!) to build and sell. I'm not the CEO, because I absolutely hate meetings. Along the way, a fortune 50 company came to us and after a series of meetings our CEO decided it would be best to white label to them. This company is absolutely stoked and is promising to turn this into a billion dollar a year revenue stream over the next 5-6 years. Seems good, right?
Wrong. With this deal comes the inability to sell to anyone else. We also are not allowed to place our logo on the product anymore. Essentially, our company disappears in the eyes of the public, only to exist to serve this larger company. They have already begun dictating features and designs of the product since they will now be taking "ownership" of it worldwide.
From a business POV, I know this is a smart idea because it gives my company the leverage it needs to break into the global market and actually compete. From an entrepreneurs POV, I'm fucking sad. Our vision, our brand, our name...all gone. I feel like we sold out. But I can't say no, because I'd be an idiot to say no to this deal.
Anyone else have experience in this area? Can anyone else relate?.
,Ramaze needs YOUTL;DR sissies: We need a designer for http://ramaze.net/, send an Email to info@yorickpeterse.com if you're too damn lazy to read this post.
Ramaze is a Ruby framework that while generally underrated has a lot of potential. Compared to other Ruby frameworks it's probably the most Ruby-like framework as it does not enforce a new way of thinking and developing applications, instead it adds a lot of functionality to Rack and Ruby to make it easier to develop MVC based applications (although you don't have to stick to the MVC pattern).
When looking at other frameworks, regardless of their language, I personally think Ramaze is the most flexible one out there. However, there is one big problem: we're not widely know. This issue is caused by multiple things but the two most important ones are relatively bad documentation and a website that isn't very informative when it comes to helping newcomers. While the documentation is something we've been discussing for quite some time and actually are working on it the website is something we need to let somebody else do. Not because we don't want to do it ourselves but because we're developers and not designers. So far I and several other Ramaze members (manveru, Pistos, etc) have had a few chat sessions and we agreed that the following has to be done regarding the website (ramaze.net)
* The homepage should show a basic example about how to use Ramaze, a good example would be the website of Sinatra (sinatrarb.com)
* A blog to keep people up to date with the latest Ramaze news
* A showcase of Ramaze applications
* A userguide, either in the form of a wiki or something else. Currently there's book.ramaze.net but it's unorganized and out of date
Based on these ideas I made a few rough sketches as well as an initial design, which can be seen here: http://cl.ly/5aKi
While the other Ramaze members liked the design I'm not that fond of it myself and I'd rather spend my time coding and improving the actual
code rather than making a website :)
What we're looking for is a good designer who's willing to contribute to an open source project by designing the new website for Ramaze. I'm going to be honest with you, there's a good chance you won't earn a penny from it but keep this in mind: you're probably using open source software (Chromium, Firefox, etc) as well so you'd be a big hypocrite and a dick to say 'Meh, open source is for fags'. Other than that I might be willing to pay money for it based on the results but that's something we'll discuss once there's a better idea of how the design will look, how much time it will take and so on.
What we're not looking for are 12 year old entrepreneurs who think that using a few gradients equals proper design. This may sound rude but I'm going to say it up front to prevent any misunderstandings. Now don't get me wrong, if you're young like me (I'm only 18 actually) this doesn't mean you're not welcome it's just that in general people below a certain age (usually 18-20) don't have enough real-life experience to know how to handle clients. I might have experience in coding but since I've only been doing it for a few years (5 or so) and only about a year on a professional basis I still don't fully get how to handle clients and such. To cut a long story short, here's the type of designer we're looking for:
* Decent amount of experience, knowledge of the web is a big plus
* Understanding of how open source projects work
* Proper knowledge of color theories, we don't need pink + green
* Well organized, I'm not going to wait 2 months for the design so don't bother replying if you feel that it's more important to teabag people in Halo than to finish that design you were supposed to finish 2 weeks ago
Do note that you don't have to slice the design into HTML as we'll handle this ourselves, as rude as it may sound designers tend to have very limited knowledge of how to organize your HTML and CSS in a proper way. We're just looking for somebody to create the actual design.
In order to make your life easier here are some extra details about Ramaze:
* The color scheme is red and gray mainly but other colors are welcome as long as they mix with the logo (https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/efb21e9eb7a8ced4c808086b77cd86d0?s=140)
* Ramaze is an agnostic framework, this means you can use pretty much anything the way you want it without breaking things
* The GitHub account is located here: https://github.com/ramaze
* Ramaze is mostly a community driven framework, while there are a few 'core' contributors a lot of the code has been added by 'regulars'
If there's anything else you need feel free to ask. I would prefer it if you would reply in this thread if you're interested rather than Emailing me, this makes it easier for others to see who's interested plus it's easier for me to share everything with the other Ramaze guys. If you insist on Emailing me my address is info@yorickpeterse.com..
,A Startup’s Most Valuable Asset: The TeamStartup ventures are exciting, dynamic, and risky. They require a balance between luck, skill, and timing. Of all the essential elements regarding startup businesses, there is one particular element that remains paramount: the team members.
For many “financially-deficient” (aka bootstrapped) startups, choosing the correct team members/founders may be the most important decision the young company faces. Despite this truth, it is all too common for startups to constuct their team with insufficient or unsuitable candidates. This type of behavior is not just harmful, it’s potentially deadly for a young upstart business.
I see many startups invest most of their focus on things like: marketing strategies, business name / logo, and market position — before ever really considering the composition of their startup members. The fundamental problem with this is simple: idea and strategies mean nothing with the wrong people in the driver seat. It is critical to place the correct individuals in the correct positions in order to achieve maximum efficiency. This becomes difficult as a startup begins developing ideas and executing particular strategies.
Here are a few aspects to consider when constructing your startup’s fouding team.
Is your friend the “right” choice? Friends are the easiest and most convenient individuals to bring aboard your startup venture. Friendly conversation does not necessarily translate into smart business tactics, however. Your friend may be a great person to bounce ideas off of, but not the right business partner. Take advantage of your friend status and mentally project them into a startup role. From all that you know about that person, think about a few scenarios:
* how well do they handle stressful situations?
* do they possess perseverance or do they stop at the first sign of hardship?
* are they trustworthy?
* how well do they communicate?
* how do they handle uncertainty or chaotic situations?
* what is their level of dedication or passion towards projects?
No money, no problem. Lack of cash is often considered a major startup obstacle. And while this may be true in most circumstances, it does provide an indirect benefit in the case of bringing aboard team members. Startups with little to no working capital are fueled by one thing: passion. Bringing aboard individuals with no promise of monetary compensation ensures that they are in it for all the right reasons. You can worry about salary and payroll after you ship your first unit.
Previous entrepreneurs welcome. There are certain intangibles one learns from operating inside the trenches of a startup company that cannot be learned anywhere else. This is why you should always look to bring aboard previous entrepreneurs given the chance. The company benefits greatly from the individuals’ prior startup experience and you gain a trusted business partner who understands the difficulty associated with launching a business venture.
The most important point to remember is this: your startup’s most valuable asset is its team members…so choose your partners wisely! Remember that at the end of the day, you and your team are the ones putting the ideas and strategies in place. It’s not enough to have an idea, you need the physical manpower to execute them effectively. A founding team needs to have the right balance of intelligence, innovation, and drive. In order to achieve the correct balance, your team members must share a common passion while working towards shared goals.
trueventures-teammembersI saw a great affirmation of this belief when I came across a particular venture capital firm’s website, and noticed their portfolio companies. True Ventures, an early stage tech venture firm, showcases their portfolio companies in a refreshing way. If you notice, all of their investments are accompanied with a picture of the founding team. Although it is just a picture, it establishes the old investment addage of: “We invest in individuals, not companies.” This is something that we as entrepreneurs hear, but sometimes overlook..

,How much this virus scaning web project can cost?Hello. My project have got unique design and text, logo and firmstyle (visitcards, proposal submissions design, presentations for customers and investors), own analytics system of scaning, contacts, services and promo pages.
Main idea is in virus scaning, if site is dangerous for users, after scaning system will offer removing services. If site is not dangerous, system will offer secure services for more higher protection. Peoples can tell about their safety resource in social networks or with banners, which they can install on their website.
All dangerous sites goes to database, if peoples are not making an order, you can sell proposal submission to them, if you want.
The projects works in two languages (english and russian, I was translate it in english few days ago). Project was started in Russia and gave interest to peoples, customers and investors, but not give big money for me. I think about selling all to someone with domain, site, code, phone and may be with registered russian company for this project.
I have got a lot of ideas, but not have some time for this project, so, I want to sell it. For example: spider, which walks in internet, scan all of it and collect infected, then send to all info about virus activity, offer services. Or mobile applications for scaning, browser plugins, which scan opened website before page loading.
So, this project can be very interesting for IT professionals or enterpreneurs. I will be happy to sell it to good arms. But I don't know how much it can cost. Can you give some advices to me about it? And where I can sell it?
