Re:The rise of the startup landing pages

I am currently working on my pre-launch startup and I would consider spending five minutes putting up a landing page like that. Not really to collect email addresses, but so I have something on my homepage, so I can go on worrying about the more important stuff.

I spent 5 minutes (and $4) yesterday doing the same thing for http://jsocial.io <- click here and be disgusted vantran.
It's (a) a placeholder, (b) incentive for me to stick to a launch date, and (c) it might, just maybe, collect a couple of email addresses.
I'm under no illusions that it's going to generate any sort of buzz, become vital, etc. It' just better than a 404 or something like http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch... :-)
