New feature. New merchants. New possibilities.

Signed in. Still no info. No care. Will get spammed about it later apparently.

Why do people do this?

sorry- it's linked from http://blog.dwolla.com/register-for-beta/

I have no idea what this is or why I should care. I refuse to give you my email just to find out.

http://blog.dwolla.com/register-for-beta/ (sorry should have included- but only can give one link).

A vague landing page and a nearly as vague blog post.

Seems interesting, but only USA =/

we'll be out of USA in the near future. Sorry!

Oh goody, another cool design which requires me to be psychic in order to form a purchasing intention.

In all seriousness, what is it? I'd assume a faster clearance of some sort, but would it kill them to have just the faintest smear of explanatory copy?

There's slightly more information in the blog post about it. http://blog.dwolla.com/register-for-beta/

Thanks.

I realise that my comment up there will be downvoted into oblivion for expressing an emotion (and this one for remarking on the downvoting), but in all sincerity I don't understand why people do this.

A landing page is not a movie poster. It's meant to sell something. To sell something customers must know what that something is.

Even luxury goods companies -- the fondest of vague advertising -- have a picture of the product so you know if it's a handbag, a bottle of perfume, a watch etc.
