It would also make Zmai very happy.

Hopefully at this point we only have less that 24 hours for the big introduction!

It's up, and pretty impressive to say the least! Hope they pull it off!

You have to be a moderator or admin to view the beta stuff it seems...

Well.. it is hard to use and navigate now.

Yeah, very poor UI I think, way too much white and HUGE icons are distracting; however, the new "free" feature set is absolutely amazing if they can make it work and stable...

It's a bit of a mess right now. I figure the powers will work things out during this "Public Beta" period. The new features will be awsome when it all smoothes out though!

How do these guys make money? I don't see any ads on their page.

They are talking about hosting this whole thing on 42 dual processor servers and giving everyone 100MB of free storage. Thats a ton of startup costs and then long-term costs.

Are they just going to sell your information when you sign up?

I don't get how this is free... didnt the "give away a whole ton of goods and services for free" business model fizzle out in the late 90s?

heya Mr. Enchanting

yeah, i'm trying to get adjusted to the new look, compared to version 2 it seems a bit cluttered, but the new features are amazing, hard to believe they wrote all the code from scratch.
