Neat idea... Why does it prompt to join mailing list when clicking 'Order one now' and if I close that annoying pop-up nothing happens (still on main page)... Clicking the button again does work though. Latest Chromium if it helps

As in the previous thread I made http://www.watermark-image.com that makes 3000+ each month. I am using the money to build http://timeblock.com that currently makes around $350 a month.

Interesting. There are tons of image watermarkers, how do you differentiate in terms of marketing/promotion (and maybe pricing)?

How do you sell? Face to face? Phone? Word of mouth?

Looks very useful. Is it only twitter and Facebook? Had a guy from Google tell us we should maintain our Google+ page for better search ranking but I really can't bothered, since nobody views it.

Can it maintain picture galleries across accounts?

What makes it UK specific?

1) It does LinkedIn too - I can add Google+ if a customer requests it though - fire me an email if you're interested (in my profile)?

2) Yes, when you include a picture in the status update it goes across accounts.

3) It's UK specific purely because of my location and the high touch sales process I have at the moment - there isn't anything stopping the product working in any timezone.
