Thanks for the positivity guys! Just a few points - we report on and work closely with the start-up community in Australia. To us, there is no 'outside', only collaboration and support.

Secondly, nothing is being sold on our site. All the information is free and doesn't require any sign-up. If you don't want to read it, fine, but many people find the info we publish very helpful. I'm sorry you don't, but I'm not going to force you to read or buy anything.

Thirdly, Andrewstuart, constructive point, but if you've ever been on Freelancer.com, watched TV or a movie on Fox or read a newspaper any time recently, there's a good chance you would've seen the work of 'massively successful' Australian entrepreneurs.

Fourthly, how about discussing the point and the issue in hand, rather than pointless backbiting, eh?

I know a lot of Australians look at this site and I'm sure they'd love to get the perspective of a country with a more switched-on start-up culture.
