Over the last few months, I have met many interesting people through Twitter, and the two @MumbaiTwit tweetups that I organized (1 and 2) and I’m amazed by some of the cool things these people are doing. Take Aaalap Ghag (Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter), as an example. Aaalap, a developer at Web 18, is also India’s most prolific Twitter user (3400+ tweets!) and the creator of the really cool link aggregator LinkBunch.
LinkBunch is a nifty new service that allows you to bunch multiple long links into one tiny link like http://linkbun.ch/3ox (which is a bunch of all my blog, feed and social network profile links). You can then share the link over IM, Twitter, email or even a mobile phone SMS. When the recipient clicks on the LinkBunch link, it opens up into a page that contains all the links that you have put in the bunch. They can then open one link at a time or all the links, all at once.

Quick Summary: Businesses based on the influence curve of an idea cluster are likely to be more robust and less risky than businesses based on the influence curve of one idea.
- X - X - X -
Ideas have a bell-shaped influence curve. Over time, ideas gain influence, reach a peak influence at a point in time and decline in influence thereafter. If your business is based on an idea, like all businesses are, your business is limited by the idea’s influence curve. To build a successful business, you would like to identify an idea early, build competence/ credibility before others during the growth phase, make money at peak influence, and exit/ diversify during the decline phase.
Different ideas have different influence curves. You can think of an influence curve in terms of height (peak influence), gradient (rate of acceptance) and width (life of idea). To build a successful business, you would like to identify an idea that has a fast rate of acceptance, a high peak influence, and a long life.
