Invite-only beta....

watch the hype fade away in a week and everyone will forget this exists (hello Google+)



Yes, I remember quite distinctly when that happened to GMail as well.


GMail was a completely different ballgame. This just looks like your generic domain registrar. There are thousands of them already.


There were thousands of email providers.


And they were all shit.


gmail completely upset the mail game, offering a product that was so outrageous that most took it as an April fools joke.

This...looks like a registrar + nameservers, and doesn't seem to really differentiate itself in any compelling way at all. Name serving + registration anywhere else, or at two separate places, isn't that different in price from the price they show in their screenshot.

Invite only for something like this is incredibly lame. I mean, whoever thought they'd pull that tactic again needs to seriously be corralled. It is amateur hour.


And Wave?
