I would like to see a blog post describing how it has worked for the company, with a link to the CEO page.

But this seems like a great idea!

The "products" page, however, does not work: http://www.rsync.net/products/index.html

Extremely slow for me, http://rsync.net.nyud.net/products/ceopage.html works.

... just tested and works just fine ... just a static HTML page that's been in place since 2006 :)

Now it seems to work for me as well. Thanks for the update!

Maybe I'm completely out of touch but what is a "CEO page"?

The short answer is that we've made a (philosophical) decision to stay right in our highly technical niche and not gussy up our site, or product, with all of the things you might expect to see.

This resonates very well with the people that find us and will eventually use us, but the people that make decisions and pay us are not impressed with what they see.

So if we're not going to put up the PDF whitepapers and the product tour videos that they want to see ... how do we bridge that gap ?

That's where the CEO page comes in.

A page to provide to your CEO (as a technical person) that will get them past overly technical/marketing speak. Basically a "I'm recommending this software, an here is an easy breakdown on why we should use it," page.
