Monday with the Editor: Apologies for delay in replies to e-mails.
|
Hi
everyone
|
We have
noticed that more students from the tertiary institutions
here in Singapore, as well as in some other countries, have
come into our website in search of information on Singapore.
|
We know
that these chaps, in surfing the Internet for whatever they
are looking for, are looking out for information needed for
their curriculum projects.
|
A number
of these students have e-mailed me to get assistance. I have
tried my level best to respond to some of their e-mails, but
as I am running this website on minimal resources, I have
had, in the past, sort of eh "forgotten" to reply
to some of the e-mails.
|
For this
I wish to apologise whole-heartedly. At this juncture, I
still find it very difficult to spare time to respond to all
the e-mails that we receive here. And I still have this bad
habit of conveniently forgetting to reply to e-mails. What
makes things worse is we can't hire staff. Why? To be frank,
we haven't made a profit from this website to date. Our
income in 1999 & 2000 was just a little over a hundred
dollars. In 2001, up till today, we have only received one
order for goods/services, and even then, we made a loss on
that one.
|
So you
see, running a dot.com business is not a lucrative business
at all. However, there are some of us out there who seem to
harbour this delusion that a dot.com business is a gold
mine. I would say this to them - Stop Dreaming!
|
I, for
one, have not been paid a single cent in salary or
commission or any other form of reward or incentives, call
them by whatever name you choose, up till today.
|
Why, you
may ask, do I choose to go on giving this free service? You
may have been aware that Getforme.com is all about
Singapore. Being a Singaporean, and a proud one at that, I
think it's my duty to provide the information that I have
collected and collated here for your convenience, whether
you are a local or a foreign visitor.
|
It's a
joy to share such knowledge. I am also proud that the
information we have put up here is useful to those who surf
by our website. We know so. We started with getting just 400
hits a day back in November 1999. Now, we are getting an
average of 13,000 hits a day.
|
This may
be a pittance compared to the biggies, such as Lycos and
Yahoo. Even then, we are quite happy with the response to
our hard work. Today, this website is 3054 pages thick. It
is not a plaything anymore. Updating the webpages is pure
hard work. We are struggling along so if you notice that we
have been slow in updating certain sections, it is because
we do not have enough hands to do the updating quickly. Bear
with us. We appreciate your understanding. To those of you
who have written in, I have this to say - I will try to
reply as soon as I can. If you need to know something
urgently, just keep sending e-mails to me.
