Michael Arrington went through the same ordeal trying to register for Glide Effortless as I did last week. Once you get to the end of the sign-up process, Glide wants your credit card - badly. Nobody knows why. It just seems like such a stupid idea. Comments on TechCrunch and Slashdot all went in this same direction. Earn my trust first - then we can go into business together. Here is an excerpt from TechCrunch:
The home page is a complete mess. This is the first impression a company gives to new potential customers, and Glide decided to pack everything in with 2,604 total words. It’s a damn magnum opus that describes everything Glide was, is and will become, without ever really getting to the point.
Clearly the mainstream media think it is the greatest thing. ABC/PC Magazine, USA Today, and the New York Times David Pogue article that started it all don’t go into the credit card issue at all. Sad…
