Even if you have to go through the arduous task of typing a website into your browser's address bar to get from YouTube to eBay, it's still a fraction of the effort required to get from Ace Hardware to Target, no matter how close the stores are situated to each other. The Internet doesn't need a one-stop shop as badly as "real life".

If that was THE website to go to for all of the services they offer, saving a couple seconds of typing might be advantageous. But they're not. Why should people switch? It's not particularly superior, as far as I can tell.

I applaud the effort, but will most likely never use it, and I doubt I'm alone.

I'm not sure on you guys reasoning, but this could work. You can't get a job on Facebook, or post your classifieds on Google, or Fiverr on YouTube. If it becomes integrated seamlessly with one login and you can do the same things as the other sites then it may work...just maybe, but I don't think this guy really knows what he is doing.
