I'm not sure how to say this nicely (obv), nor preempt the problem ahead of time, but the comments section is being drug down. I may as well stick to RSS and never bother to click-thru.

As you might have found from reading our blog, I've been writing for months about Publish2's private beta, which launched late last year. For example: http://blog.publish2.com/2008/02/10/the-pace-of-innovation-in-journalism/ A number of tech/media journalists have been beta testing the product, with agreement not to write about it just yet -- it's tricky, you know, when the journalists who cover your industry are also part of your core user base. I would love to have you as a beta tester, if you would agree to that. Cheers, Scott Hi Mike,

However, I'm pretty confident that there is plenty of space in the market for the right product (still holding judgement on Publish2). The reason being that 95% percent of internet users probably haven't heard of digg or propeller or mixx. It all comes down to a product that the mainstream can understand and want. Coupled with solid execution, there are opportunities abound. Of course, I may be completely wrong, in which case my startup is screwed!
