If you are looking for some constructive criticism, I would say Edgio could definitely improve it's branding. "Listings from the edge" is a very vague slogan and doesn't really communicate your value proposition as well as it could. Check out Al Ries book on Internet Branding, you can read the whole thing for free: http://ries.com/books-booklist-book12.php Hope that helps. Mike, congrats on the funding.
