I'm just trying to give feedback as a potential user from a non-technical perspective, which I think most developers overlook.
- PostOnce 7y agoYou can't beat Google by trying to be Google without having Google level money, and even then, you still probably can't, Microsoft and Yahoo tried. So, do something different. It's possible to grow by endearing yourself to geeks first. How'd Firefox catch on to begin with? Geeks, then they recommend to family and friends etc. Hell, even if geeks were their only users, it'd likely be viable. There are a lot of us.
