but everyone tells a new parent that their kid is cute even if he or she isn't :)

the only ones you need to worry about liking your product are your customers. but i do understand what you mean.

Svetlana - you gotta believe in your product :) - don't worry about the blogosphere so much - your users are in the mainstream. And you are welcome - thanks for saying my review was professional - I really try hard each day!

I can confirm that this post was published several hours earlier than the one on Techcrunch – I watched it closely, of course as I wanted to know which blogs would cover our alpha release.

We do believe in our product because if you don’t there’s no sense in developing anything and generating buzz about it. But naturally we were worried about what others will think of it. You know, when you love your child you are sure he or she is the best and most talented child in the world. But other parents may well think otherwise ;)

For once I liked your coverage better than TechCrunch.

Yeah this one was first, I half expected the TC article to reference this one as it was done afterwards.

How is this more closely a Squarespace competitor than other publishing platforms — or am I misreading that? I’d actually argue the opposite — as we tend to branch away from just blogging towards other sorts of content above and beyond those other platforms.

Uhm – you do realize my story was live 4 hours before the TC story was? So perhaps if anything, they copied mine but I doubt it.

Man, how come you dupe the TechCrunch headlines with your own story, and then backpost on TC with ‘your version’.

You write well, but maybe you should be a bit more original on the topic or something.

Allen, I wanted to thank you for this excellent coverage of the Profy alpha. Before I saw your review, I expected to have more negative impression on the blogosphere but after it I was very relieved.
Besides, I wanted to say that at the moment you are 100% right about one thing – Profy platform will suit the basic bloggers as it is today. But in the future as we add more and more advanced features, I hope we will be able to get more experienced bloggers in as well.
Again, thanks a lot for your time testing the platform and for the professionally-written review.

But our customers are actually bloggers themselves so the initial reaction from bloggers was extremely important to us. And this is why we are so happy about the initial feedback and reviews from the blogosphere.
