yeah, but so long as people are paid handsomely, why would the r and d staff care ? but this is a perfect set up, the notion that this thing may well be the walmart of the internet...how can anyone value that... but they do have bills to pay.... similarly, there is a newish bookstore in canada that is beautiful and is apparently spinning off a website biz too...i think its a great short, despite what they built, i think they, too , will not make money... so IMO it is a scam, a biz that looks beautiful, can't be easily replicated, but can't make $

I agree Michelle. Only fools and hypesters believe it is a scam. It may still fail, but there is no way in hell that they are just trying to pull the wool over newbie internet investors. jb
