Feedback and testimonials


  • Alex Brosio November 15, 2008
    257 video views out of 2026 site views. That's a a greater than 10% response rate, yet your idea has no comments. You seem very motivated and passionate, but perhaps you should redirect your energies to a better idea. For $50 a month, how many hours of hand-holding can you afford to provide? Your pitch states a 50M addressable market. WRONG! You're assuming they WANT to use the internet. Many elderly do not. And, you should not have mentioned "truckdrivers", as I'm sure many of them may be more tech savvy than yourself. Another thing, a video pitch should NOT have any background noise. Was yours filmed at a grad student party? Also, your website domain expired on Oct. 30th, by the way.
