Kevin, I hear your concerns. However, if you take a closer look, you'll find this is not what you think it is. In any case, thanks for responding. ~ mel >> Definitely a nice try, your enthusiasm is appreciated but this is the wrong audience for your widget. I couldn't disagree more. Ponder Pearls has a content library that is very useful for the HN community, many of whom I've noticed are entrepreneurs like myself. Sales & success tips from Brian Tracy can be valuable in closing deals. Positive thoughts from successful innovators can help motivate someone who might be going through a bit of a financial roller coaster in launching their startup. I could go on and on. >> My home page is about:blank, I imagine this, custom pages, and netvibes/google are the popular homepages and I can't see why anyone would switch to your thing. Blank home pages work for some people. I personally used to use Google.com. I switched because you can't really get a lot of the positive content such as sales & success tips from Brian Tracy's book, quotes from The Peaceful Warrior, etc. This is like iGoogle/Netvibes/etc without ADD. It offers small bits of wisdom from some very positive people. >> Honestly I suspect you've been ripped off. The idea of a mediocre homepage being seen as a gift just seems incredibly fake to me and would only work on very computer unsavvy people. A lot of my clients use this and they like it. I figured you all would like it too. Take a quick peak. If you don't like it, no biggie. Just offering a gift which I think you'll find valuable. Chances are you'll love it if you try it. >> You're paying money to promote someone else's widget? Are you doing this just for pagerank? Or do you get a cut of the advertising money? There are no ads on the site or the desktop version. I pay for this so I can do something nice for my clients and stay in front of them in a positive way. My clients get positive thoughts. I get their loyalty. Ponder Pearls gets money from me. Win-win-win. Think of it this way, it's like getting daily coaching from wise people. Why am I "promoting" it on HN? I like the community. I hope it's not too hard to believe? lol No hidden agenda Kevin, promise. Anyway, I'm going to go knock out. It's 4am here in Cali.
