interesting..

Update: so far no spam.

None at all. Just communicate via email (per the website instruction) and get tips ($) for interesting discussion.

Jesus just get in there and start emailing buddy. :)

Thank you for your response and thanks for checking the service out. It may be prohibitive for many people who do rely on a personal email account rather than a secondary one.

Um...okay

Honestly, only a couple people have emailed in so I can't offer you anything concrete. The goal is for users to reply to the forwards so that anyone involved in the topic is updated.

I dunno...seems succinct enough: pick a topic, send us an email, and we forward emails to you from emailers discussing same topic. I only suggested creating a throwaway because people worry about spam.

Oh lord...

Thanks for your response. Just select from those email address that hold potential for interesting discussion and communicate with them directly. Forwarding enables you to pick and choose from people dropping in to comment on the topic.

Okay. Good point. How would you describe it through words? Keeping in mind people don't want to use their personal emails. Suggestions welcome.

The concept of the site, or the description of the site? What seems taxing?

I would suggest you set up a throwaway yahoo email and email the site. I understand it may be confusing but all discussion happens through email and the focus shouldn't be the homepage. We can demo thru email once you set up a throwaway account. In addition, you can use the throwaway email to actually use the site if you have an aversion to using your personal email.

from the forwards, select those email addresses you wish to communicate with, and ignore the spam email addresses

yep, it's a bare-bones design. The purpose if for you to communicate through email with other users. The blog is merely for posting topics.

If users want us to weed out emails that we feel are spam we would do it.

But hell, no one's used the site or email yet so we can't anticipate anything.

Additionally, you could choose to just communicate with whomever the sender of the email is if you find their email interesting.

It is likely...but we don't want to weed emails in order to preserve the experience. You're still gonna get a lot of insightful discussion. But unfortunately, spam would come with the territory.

Thank you both for the info

Just to be clear: you filed on behalf of someone? And would the office allow you to add/update with additional owners?

Is the paperwork involved laborious? I ask this because I think it would be interesting to streamline the process and create a marketplace where conceivably tens or hundreds or more people could 'own' a copyright and/or trademark, grant licenses and divvy the profits among themselves whenever the license is evoked
