I intentionally pass by any opportunity that requires me to write in a certain tone. I considered doing one on a site that wanted reviews, positive or negative, but after the third failed Rails initialization when loading the page, I decided to pass. How is that foolng anyone?

Others are asking “How many credible bloggers would sign up for this?” I’m also wondering how this company is going to “fly”. Continued loss of credibility by the company and the bloggers who work for them will mean the the investors might not ever see a return. Trying to make a business model like this work by starting $3 million in debt will be disastrous. [...] [...] Some, including me, are interested in what Payperpost will do with the cash.
