Such marketing strategies feel like they deserve a boycott as a matter of principle, instead of blogging about them.

I saw your site already twice, the first being the "exclusivity" message, where you told nothing about what you want to offer to those who join, and what do you want from those who join.

Asking anyone to join before telling anything is unacceptable. If you have something to say, say it. On the first page. In text.

Your 'prezi' looks exactly like those fullscreen-clickthrough ads that many news sites are using - so it gets skipped by users instinctively even if they don't use plugins like flashblock. Nobody wants to view a flash-demo if they weren't expecting it, people in that situation just look for a way to get through it, and do not look at the content.
