Am I Investable? 14 years ago

Thanks for your comments. The post wasn't written as a beg for money. It's more of a commentary of how I feel about all the startup advice. I fully understand a working product backed by good research is the ticket to get in the door.

I like it. A few suggestions though:

1) Warn people that they will need to login to Twitter to use the service. If my timeline is public, why do I need to provide my twitter credentials? Shouldn't my username be enough

2) Don't load so many stories at once. Maybe 20 or 30 at a time or for the last week, etc...

Anyway, thoughts in the first 30 seconds of use.

Good luck and keep us posted,

I really like the idea but I think your greatest challenge will ensuring the site doesn't get spammed by false reviews.

I have nothing to add as far as a solution goes but I can say that when I see reviews or testimonials the first thing I do is try and verify the online presence of the poster. Whenever I see a link to LinkedIN it shows me that at least there is a real person here who I can check out.

If you can solve that problem without involving Facebook I'll signup. Good luck.

You know, all up, I like the site.

I think the MOST obvious use is for Mobile App designers that don't want to deal with web hosting in the short term.

I really like the simple prettiness of the stats page. Isn't recognising AtomicWeb or Safari from the Ipad though.

I've been trying it out: (warning shameless promotion) http://faqme.com/howto http://faqme.com/earthshout

Thanks for putting the site out there Pud and I am happy to write your FAQME FAQ's...

PS: "an FAQ". You write it like you would say it out loud. Also, first post.... not sure about this news editor....
