First of all... good blog post. Money quote: "Your universe is small and very hard to sell to."
Secondly, I hope I am not misunderstanding your comment, "... completely switch the CMS platform."
While it may not be clear in the slide, this is not a new CMS. It is a backup and security service for popular CMSes.
Secondly, I am not aiming this service at other developers. It's partially omitted in the slide but the market segment is administrators of sites that receive >15K uniques per month.
Administrators != Developers.
15K+ uniques per month implies traffic is high enough to monetize which means uptime is critical.
Does that alter your opinion? Or generally, are there any parameters on the slide that could be tweaked to reach a threshold of viability in your opinion?
