Some context: Freezecrowd is a "coming soon" page which promises to eventually kill facebook. Development has been slow, due to a lack of developers willing to work for free.

But some progress has been made: the "coming soon" page now renders under firefox.

It's worth noting that this guy has called me a number of times over the past couple years, and he pulls the same schtick on everyone: tries to hire you as an "unpaid intern" to do considerable amounts of work that he plans to profit from.

I normally wouldn't have too big of a problem with that, except that I don't believe he's actually hired or paid a single individual to work on "freezecrowd," ever.

False.

He paid people to make the Coming Soon page. It is "Powered By Launching Soon (v1.3)".

I have been paid by Eric as well.

This content-free informercial makes me wish I had the capacity to downvote posts on the front page. I bet the four points it currently has aren't organic.

Dude, this video is hilarious. I voted it up..

Yeah, looks like I missed the point.
