sq.com should simply be the defacto business model/standard with which any/all superior internet-related/software products/websites should be compared...one would have thought/hoped? one reason for the acquisition of Alpha would have been ensuing [cross-merchandising/development/infrastructure...] synergies viz a viz HMAPPS and ONLINE merchant perhaps...

Alpha Five simply and obviously should adhere to the same business model as HoTMetaL 5.0 website i.e.

alphasoftware.com and alphasoftware.com et al should have a comprehensive [developer program, resources, training, VARs, FAQ, press, WebFiler integration, ....] exactly like sq.com one simply does not get the feeling that any synergies have been established or even recognized...that Alpha simply had a mission to jettison SoftQuad [long ago?] and does not seem to even recognize its own strengths...

alphafive.com ala sq.com is staring the Rabins right in the face...take Sach's lead...this is a bigtime [shareholder value maximization] winning internet business model...even if to position it as a divestiture...another crown-jewel business unit acquisition...
