just love how she sounds innocent and sort of a hippie but seems to actually be a shark deep inside :)

you are right. speed is my main focus right now.

I am introducing sprites everywhere, and implementing a lot of optimization tricks.

many thanks for the compliments.

The design was done by Julien Morel,(joolz.fr), the same guy who did the previous design of Matt Mullenweg(http://ma.tt/). he has done a lot of great design for a few french sites as well. You should check his portfolio. He is a nice guy. He is now working on a costumed page for my twitter account (@exaggerated_com).

Content creation has been a nightmare to produce this far. Spotlights are easy to generate, cause they are aggregated live in our admin database and are all pre-populated.

Original content however is something really difficult to produce on a daily basis. I had a redditor to produce the articles, I used to pay him like 800$per month. but he cashed in the money before xmas and never re-appeared... I have just found a great content provider now who is charging me 5$/article.

Definitely creating a startup has been hard as hell!

I am a private banker/ portfolio manager in Geneva Switzerland. I founded the site just for fun during my spare time.

glad you enjoy it.

I have fully funded the development of the site so far. It was launched a few weeks ago and has not been promoted yet, so it is still fairly confidential. I am now working on optimizing the site to fasten the loading of pages.

It's a lot of work by the way (over a year and a half of development.)

I would like to draw more traffic. What should I do from now onwards ? buy ads ? launch a thread on reddit ? ask each and every design blog I know to kindly talk about the site ?

I'd love to have some piece of advice from your community

cheers, Nathan
