I also think back on the AudioGalaxy days with real affection. Doing the accounting for you guys, watching you all straggle in, in the late mornings, looking down off the balcony when the music review room was full of reveiwers.. watching it rise to glory and holding our breath when it can crashing down! What a ride! So glad that I was able to be just a little part of it. Tell Michael & Geoff "hello" if you get a chance. If any of you ever get to Seattle be sure to look me up and say hello! Hey Tom,

It was really exciting to hear about the ins and outs of your startup. I actually went to high school with Michael in Houston. Even though he and I didn't really get along back in my immature days, I still brag about his amazing accomplishments. One question. Would you mind possibly writing a bit about the monetary side of your startup? I'd be interested in knowing how and where you got income from. Was it only ads on the website or what? I'm currently involved in my second startup company (as a side job), but neither are even close to AG or FolderShare. The first bombed near the bubble crash and the second is still growing, albeit slowly. Anyway, I'm glad I stumbled onto your blog. I look forward to future posts. A very interesting 3 part read.

I’m currently involved in my second startup company (as a side job), but neither are even close to AG or FolderShare. The first bombed near the bubble crash and the second is still growing, albeit slowly.

Anyway, I’m glad I stumbled onto your blog. I look forward to future posts.

I was in high school at the time, and we were on dialup at home, so every night my father when my father got home with his laptop I'd dialup and queue up songs to be downloaded the next day while he was at work. After a couple of months of this, my father came home one night and told me that for the last couple of months everyone at the office had been wondering why the net connection was so amazingly slow (it was just a small office with an ISDN connection). Well the day before he had been at a conference during the day, and suddenly the connection was flying. But the next day it was back to snail's pace. So the IT guy put 2 and 2 together and came and checked out his laptop and saw AG running in the taskbar. After that I would dialup at night to download songs... =) Silly anecdotes aside, it's great reading how you did it. Thanks for taking the time to write about it. Found your blog today and read every entry you've made. Keep them coming! =) I guess this is just a me too kind of post, but I absolutely loved AG.
