Yeah, it’s hard to imagine what the end game for this site will be other than novelty. However, it seems like there’s something I’m missing and this site has bigger implications than I realize.

My biggest pain point with open floor plans is this. Sometimes, I just want to put my head down and code for 3 hours straight. Doing this sends off an antisocial vibe to the other marketing, content, and SEO employees sitting near me.
It's a very young incubator, but the 3 founding members are really passionate about forming relationships with other Cleveland devs and/or designers and launching profitable websites.
To start out we decide to build something that could, in the loosest of terms, become a viable product. It was more important to launch something quickly then to sit around and not make any decision at all.
We threw around a lot of ideas and choose to do a Siri Humor site for our first project. The decision was made on a lot of factors, primarily being:
- The idea was simple and it could be launched relatively quickly.
- There is competition for this niche, but we felt that we could make a better product.
- The idea could, and eventually should, be turned into a mobile app.
- The site can make money with custom Siri quoted T-Shirts, ads, and any potential income from a mobile app.
- The three founders could all help develop it.
With that said, and with a lot of hard work http://siriously.co launched in public beta on Feb 1st. We are excited, but we also realize that there are a lot of features that still need developed and there are some bugs in the system; but overall the main functionality of the site should work. Getting it launched, since launching anything can be very difficult, was the primary goal.
Now, it might be ironic that we made a humor site, especially when outsiders throw Cleveland jokes around like its their job. But we don't take ourselves too siriously, so we'll just roll with the punches for now. And hopefully, one day, with a lot of hard work, our Cleveland incubator Blazooka, will be taken seriously as well. We're in it for the long haul.
It's relatively cheap, its residents seem very pleasant, its street are well laid out, it's biker friendly, it's in a beautiful area, it has great food ( loved all the food trucks ), it's youthful, it's walkable, it has great public transportation, it has a grassroots feel to it, it has a great tech vibe to it, it has great neighborhoods, it has great shopping, it seems unpretentious, etc, etc...
Ever since I left, I've seriously thought about moving there.
Is is just me that thinks this is that totally unacceptable, for this site is one of the only Bitcoin exchanges in the US. This alone could cause panic trades when they eventually do get back up and running.
Are there any decent SEO companies out there?
The perfect example being that dental insurance can work in some instances. I have personally used it successfully in the past in have saved a lot of money using it on a fillings procedure. And that is just one example.
Again the only reason why I am asking here is to find a solid company that a lot of others recommend. It looks like the latest comment is one of them.
You only pay $100 dollars/year on average. But that is just you. For instance, a good majoriy of people will get a cleaning and then the Dentist will find some decay or a cavity, which will require a second visit. That second visit is what can really put a dent in someone's pocket. I'll take the risk of buying a $100/yr dental plan for this case. If it the plan ends up sucking, then big deal $100 bucks down the drain. But that is one of the reasons why I am asking here-- to avoid throwing that hard earned money away.
What Dental plans have people had positive experiences with?
It just seems like a waste for one of the most trusted resources on the web to not allow its users to connect for one of the most important aspects of our lives--Jobs.
