too late for this audience. maybe the mass market that has never heard of them will be kinder. but I doubt it.

too little, too late.

they didn't have the right people to execute on this, and from what I can tell, they still don't.



I disagree. The product concept hasn't changed; it's still the same idea that all these boo-birds loved a year or two ago. Maybe they've burned bridges with some early adopters, but the other 99.99% of America will never know about that.


The other 99.9% of the world will never hear about it because their early adopter friends aren't going to recommend this.


I made that point, so actually you agree.

I also made the point that they've failed to execute so far, which reduces my faith in their ability to all of the sudden start executing well. Perhaps that's what you disagree with? In which case, you are more of an optimist than I am. :-)


I don't think it's fair of you to comment on the people involved in the execution of this. What do you know about anyone on the WakeMate team?


It's entirely fair. If I knew them, I'd keep my mouth shut, because I don't talk negatively about friends.

And it's entirely fair because I know what I see. And that's more than enough to gauge their execution.
