I would have been more inclined to provide my email if I knew or saw more about the product. I understand people want to do customer development and such but I think I have launch rock fatigue. Without more info this feels too much like testing out an idea to see if people even care.

I am part of this team. We are already funded and building the product right now. I understand the concerns about just testing out an idea. But we will be rolling out the launch in the next couple of months.

Thanks for replying.

After registering, a link to "blog" appears, but there is no blog. Will there be? And if so, when?

Is there anywhere else to find information about xfluential beyond your 207-character comment above? I see no status updates on Facebook nor tweets on Twitter.

Yes, we will begin posting on the blog in the next couple of weeks. Plan on sending out updates to the emails that register for updates. These updates will also include at times screen shots and additional information on the feature set.

Is this launchrock thing the reason their signup page has some meta crud and a little bit of javascript but no actual content? Either way, exceptionally poor web authoring on somebody's part.

This is a subject that nerdy hackers could always use help with. This launching page doesn't say much about the actual product though.
