I'm sorry to say this, but that is a lot of text for basically saying: "no market -> no sales"

One needs to be a good storyteller to be able to relate and communicate a point to an audience. I think this article succeeds in doing this.

I followed your link to your previous site, Kroomsa, and it proceeded to repeatedly open the site in a new browser window. I was forced to kill Safari, at which point it had 129 windows open. Not cool.

I'm sorry, wasn't aware of it. Does it happen on other browsers too? I didn't notice it on Chrome or Firefox.

I only seem able to reproduce it on the latest Safari for OS X. Even Safari for Windows doesn't do it. Weird.

There are plenty of articles that can be summed up in four words. That doesn't mean they aren't worth reading to get the bigger picture, details, examples, etc.

I agree, although I think the "bigger picture" is only interesting if the story is too specific and the "examples" part would only be useful if the subject matter was hard to understand. My personal feeling was that the whole text didn't really add anything.
