Downward Spiral

The idea seems like a bad one. But if it does have a chance, they
certainly are blowing it with their site. They've been working on it
for how long now? Yet there isn't even a way for a user to discover
what the service is without signing up first. I mean, really, if you
want to attract users for your service, putting some information for
them up on your site might be a good place to start. Bad idea +
bad execution = Spiral Frog won't be around for long.

Are idiots. There are a lot of interesting startups run by honest people who wouldn't even think of paying themselves anywhere close to $400K+ while their company careened towards death. Some of those would lost your investment money to, but they'd at least try to get their biz going; others would actually do well and give you good returns. Whomever gave money to this thing (four years: no website!?) deserves to lose all of it.

wow they have the business plan from the 2000 boom.

Me: What's you business plan?

Them: I sell dollars for 75 cents!

Me: How do you make money on this?

Them: I make it up in volume!

useless POS website seems to want to install cookies - so let it, Cnet's ccokies seem to work. Why not theirs? Obviously not paying enough in consulting fees. Where is Anderson consulting when you need them?
