re: why? how?
A few emails asking "why we want to compete" and "how can we expect to succeed" against juggernauts like Google's BLOGGER, MSN's Spaces, etc... simple... we're not trying to steal marketshare away from them. We only want to get a slice of the pie, not the whole pie. A tiny foothold is all we need. But comparing us to Blogger is not completely accurate... we're focusing on being more like these companies:
www.weblogsinc.com
http://news.google.com/news?num=100&...nG=Search+News
www.gawker.com (fleshbot, gizmodo, etc)
http://news.google.com/news?q=gawker...&sa=N&tab= wn
and adding elements from Blogger.com and other services like
www.MySpace.com &
www.Friendster.com
So check out the corporate sites of weblogsinc & gawker and look through their network of blogs. If you like what you see, share the same vision and want to play a major role in what we're building, then sign-on.
