My goodness, that couldn't possibly have been the plan all along! Nobody would want to work for an evil corporation like Google. Also, acquisition is not a viable exit plan. Last but not least, they don't seem Googley enough.
Oh, wait -- you were serious? Because I wasn't... I will feel a teeny tiny bit bad for these guys if Google doesn't buy them, because it's so obvious that acquisition is their desired endpoint. Not that they haven't created a desirable product for people to use and Google to acquire, mind you -- it just doesn't seem like any sort of an afterthought.
Do any of you guys use it? I do, and so far it has worked. I created a smart list that shows all the tasks I have completed so far because if you only make it show you what you have to do, it can be overwhelming, but if you use it to show also what you have already acomplished, that sort of balances out the effect.
nice little story, they were a bit slow with the pro accounts but I like the pricing. If they get 1 percent of their 300k users to upgrade thats $75000 a year.
