So wait, let me get this straight...they don't even manage to fix a single link on a single site...out of four sites running that software, not a single is even close to feature-complete...no one really likes that software...
ReplyDelete...and yet they want to sell it to everyone?
EQAL truly is becoming the Microsoft of web shows.
If the creators become as rich as Bill Gates I don't think they will mind a few million bugs.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone pay for this software when they can already use Ning for free?
ReplyDeleteDumb move.
Why do I have a feeling that Umbrella's tech support is going to suck?
ReplyDeleteOh right...they don't know how to fix a single link.
Thanks Ren!
