@Bill
Of course, Im here arent I? Im investing in the platform arent I? Maybe not the
part of the platform you'd prefer me to invest in but I /am/ an early adopter.
However, as far as Bill H is concerned, he has a point, you use a lot of marketing
mumbo jumbo and tell us there is some uber special concept that we all need to "get"
but when it comes down to it and those that don't "get" it ask you direct questions
you got insulting. Unless you can make the leap from a market that proactively seeks you
out to one that has to be sought successfully then you won't make the transition
from startup to successful consumer product.
Why?
I know you are not like this in private correspondance, so why do it in public
what on earth are you trying to gain?
I don't get /that/.
Sure there are trolls on this thread, they look like the same ones as are on
every other thread to me which is why I don't bother responding to them.
Someone said ( and it might even have been Bill H ) that in order to be chosen, you have
to be twice as good as what someone already has. Part of that is how one conducts
oneself on public forums. You need to be twice as good as the opposition, twice
as polite, twice as frank and twice as tolerant.
With a community that is this up close and personal, you can't afford not to be.
OR you have to have a product that is so blindingly attractive and a marketing proposition
that is so appealing in its clarity that you get sought out by consumers.
