The landing page is here: http://productmap.co
Is the landing page too simple? The concept is to consolidate the way different companies share their product updates (release notes, emails, changelog, etc.)

#2My first reaction: Is this something that companies actually want/need? Have you validated the market? That's ultimately more important than the v0 landing page design.

You're right. I have talked to a handful (<10) of potential customers already. They're willing to try it out and going to share with them over the course of the next week.

#4I wish there was a bit more information to be honest. Is this a patching system? Or is it just like an alert system for updates? I'm not really sure what it is.

Sorry, the site is a bit broad at the moment (will fix). It's to post new features and product updates in one place. The idea is to replace changelogs, product update emails/blog posts, and release notes.

It's interesting but I don't know if its such a jump forward that I might pay for it. But if you included an API for binary patching to distribute updates I would pay for it.

Changelogs as a Service, eh? The idea definitely has potential!
Somehow I've signed myself up for a bunch of newsletters from various companies whose services I don't even use that update me on new features they've implemented in addition to blogs from their employees. It's an interesting read from time to time so I haven't unsubscribed.
If you can provide a service which can guide other people through publishing the same type of useful/interesting/insightful information regardless of the size/scope/nature of their project/research/work/business/hobby...
This idea is actually really exciting the more I think about it. Keep at it!
But the landing page needs more information, yes.

Out of curiosity, how would this be different from a blog?

There's much less overhead (simple setup, easy posting, chronological display). I'll also be building out a set of features that help customers provide feedback.

#10where is your productmap?
I liked idea personally but I would like to see your own productmap first.
