I've had "lifestyle business" used as an insult to what I'm building, Predictobot.com. It was from a guy who takes lots of VC money, builds big startups with a direct sales force, and then eventually sells them to Oracle. (At least he sold his last one to them.) It didn't bother me in the least, as that's not what I aspire to.

Excellent sign-up page, it describes exactly what it is in a succinct sentence, and puts the (very good) pricing right in front of the visitor. It enticed me to sign up right away.

When you reach launch, I'd suggest putting some examples on the site so potential customers can see your capabilities in some depth.

Absolutely love the robot logo. I'd wear that t-shirt.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm giving the first demo of Predictobot on July 28th at PyData Boston, so the "live" site should be up around then. It has nice demos.

Glad you like the logo. It is by the most excellent Ty Wilkins (http://www.tywilkins.com/).

Send me your mailing address and shirt size via email, and I'll send you a t-shirt, with my cool robot logo. My email in is profile.

(That applies to any of you other HN'ers out there that want a t-shirt.)

FYI: Your non-www domain isn't resolving to your site.

Aaack, thanks for the heads up. It is fixed, once the DNS propagates.

Don't feel insulted. Haters are usually busy doing nothing but focusing on others. Focus on your path, your bank account.

How did you come up with the idea for that? :)
