anthony, could you screenshot the 'busted in chrome' issue and send to us at [email protected]? Should be working smoothly! Whatever the reason, it was one of europes leading writers on tech who interviewed and did the article. i suppose if someone writes a positive article it's overt marketing. Thanks for being on geeklist and let us know if you find more bugs! cheers!

Well, it looks like a standard PR puff piece to me - I'm not sure (from that article plus looking at geekli.st) exactly what the draw is, other than publishing stuff on the web? I can do that on my own site.

Plus your design kinda sucks, usability-wise - massive fonts, huge whitespace and line spacing mean that I can see the cards from my secret moonbase lair. I also have to scroll, even on a 1920x1080 monitor, and squint, because your colors are like, #999 on #EEE.

You also need to figure out a way to get people to fill in details about their cards, or kill the extra info part. Every card says "I did 'X', details: <no info> with: <no contributors>". (That's not a bug in Chrome, I just checked in Firefox too). So if you can't get one of the founding technical guys from Skype to brag a bit more (http://geekli.st/taavet/helped-grow-skype-from-zero-to-first...), what's going on?
