This is an interesting case. Surely it's not democratic, little global but innovative, yes, I like the idea. However the required questions for signing up are ridiculous and I personally wouldn't send in such information. Or maybe I'm being too critical: you do can choose whether to send in picture or not ;) I hope to see similar but more sane system on safe platform and underlying orgs before this gets too popular. jussi 2007/12/2, mark bartlett <mark@globalpostmark.net>: > i have to say that, after going to this site, i would recommend > strongly against it because it asks for all the information that > telemarketers do.
