If you'd bothered to look into what Ginzametrics actually does, you wouldn't have left an uneducated comment like this. Next time, I'd suggest you do some homework on the company you are going to troll on. Just because it's in the SEO market doesn't mean it's doing anything unethical.

TL;DL: Thumbs down.

"Unsatisfactory" would be the word I'd use for the new outlook.com. Slow, terrible UI and UX, and I see no improvements on the junkmail filter at all.

I really would like to see MSFT getting better at this (or at anything, really; they are the underdog in so many categories of tech now). But they are not. I'm a Mac/Apple fan by choice. But I like competition in the market. And I do wish MSFT the best in getting it right (or somewhat right). But this is so far out there that I just don't know what they are thinking. To use the words "We think the time is right to reimagine email" is simply disingenuous -- the site didn't reimagine anything -- it looked like a re-skinned old hotmail to me in every aspect.

I will check it out again in a couple of months. Maybe they'll have time to fix enough problems that I'll change my mind then. But until that point, thumbs down.

Funny. I'd just talked to a friend about the need for such platform. Unfortunately when I tried it (just now actually), the app failed to return any results for me (for strings I know for a fact exists on my feed). But no worries. Keep hacking. And I wish you success at this because I WILL use it! And I wish FB would just remove this friction so that we wouldn't have to even think about this!

All I can think about is his four young children. The man took his own life, and that's that. But his kid didn't do anything to have deserved a childhood knowing their father committed suicide. Some of the kids may even blame themselves for a big chunk of their lives for what happened.

I wish he could have found a way and the courage to live on -- for the sake of his children.

A man having committed suicide is sad. But four children growing up without their father is a real tragedy.

It's probably worth the way. It takes time to work out the intricate details of transactions and UX. I, for one, am excited about this. and I look forward to finally ditching my bank of 10 years!
