Mods - I think this should be "CMS" (content management system) instead of "CRM" (customer relationship manager), as it's a blogging tool.

Thanks for catching that. Was an early morning.

All I see is a link to a zip and a link to "http:///"?

The presentation is awesome. Super clean, I love the logo and the video's that let you know just what this thing is. The blurbs of text were enough to get me interested enough to watch the video. The videos were clean and to the point. Damn, for me this is what all landing pages for projects like this should be. I'm not sure if I'll use your product but I'll certainly bookmark the page to learn from later.

No worries! It actually got me to click; I was curious how one would accomplish that for a CRM, something that is nothing but a database.

The link is all JavaScripty, or you can just scroll down. I'm not keen on that UI.

Maybe "blogging tool" would be the correct description, a cms is should support much more than just one content type.
