What it offers…

  • A way to get the latest Open source softwares at one place
  • Get the Open source trends and blurbs from silicon valley and other tech cities
  • A place to let Open source fraternity and discuss upcoming news and web products

Why it can be THE NEXT BIG THING !

  • Exponential Interest – Those days are gone when a handful of IT giants used to influence the software & technology usage in a drastic way. People are going OpenSource, thanks to their indirect monetization strategies.
  • Trusted Network – It is good to rely on the resources one trusts on. OStatic comes from the GigaOm network,which is a remarkable weblog in Tech Blogging arena. Hence, any news arriving on OStatic can be trusted with no doubts.
  • Heavily Stuffed – OStatic has launched around 150 K+ OSS(Open source softwares) and about 30K+ PSS (Proprietary source softwares), which is quiet a stuff to browse.
  • Propulsive Start-off – A good website with a great Launch makes a Deadly combination. A GigiOm backing and followed media & web publicity will definitely add to the OStatic ‘s reach.

Why it may prove to be a Web struggler !

  • Healthy Competitors – When it’s about Open source Blogs, there are some other ones which are already there in the market and having their decent presence on the web : TheOpenforce , TheOpenroad , Rand($thoughts)
  • Lacks conventional market – Inspite of Open source, being a significant player in IT industry, OStatic still has to grow in a situation where the majority follows the Proprietary softwares and technologies
  • Core concept – Core concepts are good but miss out from attracting the masses. An Open source technology blog has a market but a limited one. One shouldn’t expect OStatic to someday attract a huge traffic like Wired because of being non-generic approach.
