Hi all, Not to offend anyone with a vested interest or solid backing of the product, but at first glance, I thought it wasn't real.
I think it was the design. The placement of the 'Only $30' next to the explanation paragraph, and the rest of the design scattershotted across the page... it just didn't seem right. The other thought I had was.. what makes this better than Reddit? It ay be more targeted to specific feeds you subscribe to and aggregate the best ones, but for me personally, I can get similiar quality of content for free. I'd like to see how the product evolves. - Robert On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 10:30 AM, dave malouf <[email protected]> wrote: > uh?
