now that's a great testimonial!

the first time i read about LaunchRock, i thought the idea was cool. the second time i heard about LR i thought it was odd but I couldn't put my finger on why. then, a while later, i saw someone say something like "why would i want to advertise for a site that i can't use yet, and am not sure i like?" in reference to LR. that stuck with me. KickOffLabs doesn't force anyone into anything questionable like this.

thanks for the tip! i'll get that done soon :)

... for anyone else seeing this: modelbinding allows your backbone models to be updated by form inputs, and vice-versa, as well as allows other html elements to be updated by backbone models, with little to no configuration or code

the creator of this site used http://kickofflabs.com to create the landing page. this service tracks how many people visit the site, sign up, open the email, respond, etc etc etc in order to give accurate and informative reports about the interest that has been generated.

i think the purpose of these types of "launch pages" is to gauge interest... to see if there's really enough interest to spend the time and effort creating the working system. it's also a great way to create a list of potential beta users. when something is ready, the person running the site can hand out beta codes to people that have signed up, and get real feedback at that point

interesting... i hadn't seen that before (not that i'm a total n00b or anything :D )

wow. you can't even man up and use a non-hidden font color? impressive.

plus - i really hope you buy / watch my screencast when it's done... you're REALLY going to hate my voice, and i can't wait to hear what you have to say about it :)
