Well, maybe it's in the Marketplace category, but I still think it's a little tacky to advertise a competing website on the competitor's discussion board.

Took a quick look anyway. I'm not fond of the header - to difficult to read and there are several typos on the main page: "messgaes" and "conduit manangers."

Lastly, I'd like to know your policy on your subscriber list before I sign up for anything. It may not be privacy stuff, but who needs the extra spam.

Someone Hit The Spot!

That is correct!

3 Months after Handspring first started!

After recently leaving Handspring Technical Support, The decision was to apply future career goals of being an astounding web designer/developer and thus have brought forth Visorosity.com !


We don't want to give you all of what is to come; in the first week of this web sites release! Stay tuned!

Answer questions about what? Tech support issues?

That sounds interesting, but if you left 3 months after Handspring first started, I don't see how you'd know a whole lot about the internal workings of handspring now and/or be familiar with all of the new models. That's not meant to be an insult or anything, I just don't see how being an ex-tech support person for handspring adds value to the site.

But, anyways, good luck with the site. I think you'll have some very tough competition from the already well-established VC, but it's nice to see someone else out there trying to do it better.

(p.s...you may want to turn off all of your table borders...they look a little out of place on the site)

I don't see how attitude like that is going to attract people from here to your site. Your answer was ambiguous and could have easily been interpreted as homer did. Granted, you don't seem to be a native English speaker, but still...

Whoa. Cool it, buddy. I wasn't attacking you. It sounded like you left Handspring Technical Support 3 months after it started, which to me sounded just like you said. I was just questioning why that had anything to do with anything.

Your repost makes a lot more sense, and clarified the issue. Thank you.

The point is, however, that your very first post to this community site is one advertising your own web site that also happens to be a direct competitor to this very site.

On top of that, the post said nothing about yourself, or why you were posting. It was basically an impersonal press release. How about a 'hi, my name is' to start things off?

You have done nothing to earn our respect. That's all. I'm not saying you are a bad person, or anything like that. I am just curious as to what your 'sales pitch' is. I don't see anything compelling on your site that isn't offered on this site.

Basically, if you are going to advertise to your target audience (us) be prepared to sell yourself.

There's been a handful of vendors on this site that try and hock their wares and services only to run off when we start asking questions.

I'm tough on salesmen/woman. Don't take it personally

My understanding is that he doesn't want to be flamed on his site. Not that you flamed him... and that jive about speaking Native english? That has nothing to do with the way we write.

It's a decent effort for something starting up. There's no competition if you provide an avenue to more information. It's sharing knowledge. People quote PDAbuzz and post here all the time. Fabian appears to be an 'affiliate' of VisorCentral so the News section indicates.

Yea well, if I came across too accusatory, Visorosity, my apologies.

Quite possible that's what he meant. The fragmented sentences make it a bit hard to determine for sure.

I didn't say that there was no way he was a native English speaker. His sentence structure and word choice just seems more reminiscent of a non-native speaker. Lord knows that native speakers can mangle the language, too, but there's usually an intuitive difference. Are you a non-native speaker that you seem to have taken the comment in a negative way? I couldn't care less if someone's native language isn't English other than from the standpoint of facilitating communication.

Took a look at the site and I hate the disscussion board layout. This type of layout where it is broken in catagories is much more appealing to me. I don't know it could be worth my time in a month or two once more people are on it. But look on the bottem of the news page. They copyied our news items and our logo. I wonder if they asked?

umm. We have our news feeds aviable to anyone who wants it in php, and xml versions. http://www.visorcentral.com/page/0-2-567-2.htm And I really don't see how they stole our logo. Visoroscity's is nothing like that. I geuss I'm beign so nice,, is I'm not a flamer.. and me thinks that visorcentral needs more competition were getting lax about things I think these next couple o months we need to show who's on top!

I liked Miradu2000's comment. I read VC every few days and enjoy the discussions. But lately there seems to be more chit-chat and less hard/useful information. Maybe I'm a little more sophistocated in visor use, but the 'competition' might be a good chance to see if anything about this site should be modified. Some specific threads for specific uses, like visor-medicine or datebook4 Q and A threads might be cool. Anyway the 'competition' has a discussion board with one post so far--not much competition yet.
