Chris Sharpe aka "Casper C." commissioned us to construct his site in March.
Chris contacted us using what he (at that time) believed was a concept to get a site. Their concept? Bob desired to produce a site that will permit individuals to quickly post and share movies on the web. Problem? (cough, cough, YouTube!)
"No, my concept differs..." He described."... Since people uses the movies to assist market material on Craigslist and eBay. I'll call it D-IT First!"
"Wait, what?" I had been considering.
"C-IT First!" He explained. "The 'D' means 'Bob' and it also means 'Observe' since itis a video-sharing website. Have it???"
Therefore, against my greater view we achieved with Bob and organized a suggestion. After buying our private suggestion to businesses half-way all over the world Bob lent $2,500 from his mother and http://CITFirst.com was created.
Listed here are the reality about Bob: He's a scarcely literate, middle-aged guy, who still lives together with his mom, and doesn't possess a banking account.in hindsight we never must have decided to use him, but, nevertheless fresh-out of college, youthful, naïve, and wanting to show our abilities we noticed this being an chance to increase our profile.
The web site was finished in 2 months. Despite Bob' peculiar demands we nevertheless were able to produce a attractive and practical site.By today, you may still see-the site at http://citfirst.com/. Yes, that is Bob starring within the starting movie - a genuine champion! As guaranteed guests may add, add, and share movies.
Matteroffact, Bob was so enthusiastic about his new site he published the next recommendation on 4/30/09 (in damaged language no less):
"Dani Marie Style U would be the best. Thank u so much for several u did for me personally. Its so good to work well with u and Wendall. The procedure for building my website was sleek and incredibly trusted because of you both. I'll be getting excited about dealing with Dani Mari Styles on my next task. U give me religion that their are great folks available. Cheers from Chris Sharpe with cit http://first.com"
End-Of the tale right? Incorrect! A few weeks later Bob discovered that beginning a company is difficult, referring to it's easier. The issue? Bob did not do his research. If he'd he'd have discovered that facebook may be the 3rd most widely used website on the web. Beyond that facebook can also be supported by Google. Finally, as though Bob required every other hurdles, he did not intend on preservation, advertising, or advertising.
Observe, in his brain, a good idea like D-It First might revolutionize the web changing him into an immediate billionaire. Thus in the place of acknowledging that D-IT First was a unsuccessful get-rich quick plan he chose to begin spreading rumors on the web. Pity on Chris Sharpe and D-IT First
