The Fog of Secrecy
suhail: I've read from others and experienced personally that being more open about your startup is more useful. By being out there, you have the opportunity to be first, make current/potential competition re-evaluate their business, and building a loyalty and user-base takes time so get started fast. Merely, being out there, you might have opportunities come after you instead of what you're doing now (i.e. seeking them).
