Mamma is musing about it, Robin Good is bitching about it and Geek News has a recording of it.

When they have something to say - they say it. When they like what they see - they say that - too. But we’re not firing anybody for saying negative things.

Now of course - there still isn’t a dabble mode of the product for folks to try out and use. I really believe that once we have that - we can start to generate some real leads and developer/partner interest.

And there have been a few bumps in the road - but hey - Marqui is a small company, they’re taking off and there’s bound to be some balls dropped and things that fall through the cracks.

At least they got their own blog now.

And wait till you hear about our “conversation coordinator” we hired! Waiting for results from her - as we speak.

Ever tried to contact SixApart lately?

All in all - I’d say the Marqui program has gone off pretty well. As of Aug. ‘04 - there were 450 mentions of Marqui in Google. Today there are 139,000.
