Free lunch with XuQa

The SF Chronicle wrote how the founders of XuQa launched and managed their social networking site, XuQa.com "on the cheap." They've since become profitable and when we hooked up with two of the founders, Murti and Prosper, to catch up over lunch at the MarketBar in the Ferry Building, they even bought us lunch! And here's a picture to prove it!

These guys are redefining the way social networks can monetize their user base and they're doing it in very clever ways.

p.s. Remember my previous post about Fashion 2.0? Well, check these guys out -- the last time I saw them it was sandals and t-shirts. Now its sports jackets and sharp shirts. They could both have certainly won their own "XuQa Modelling Contest" which they held last summer!
