    I agree with mdvaldosta. You should be very clear about why someone would want to use it. You might want to give some concrete examples of when it would be useful.

    here was the orginal thread about the site itself http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=63791

    This one is supposed to be in the marketing forum

    Basicly the idea is you can just easily spam the site with your viagra links without any tools and without being afraid to get caught or that your post will be deleted.. :p


    ok, really it's not an easy thing to explain in webmasters forum lol but most people are not very tech savvy and it's an easy way for them to publish some content online, to share ideas, to write down something, so that they can just keep in mind the 5 characters and not the full 10,000 letters of text..


    Shortly, just go and try it..


    Anyways, as the original question was, I'm looking for some ideas on how to promote this thing.. :)

    I dont think this should be in General Marketing as your being specific about your website and looking for help with it specifically and not talking about general marketing methods/services.

    Anyhoo, your site looks like a text equivalent of an image upload host site where you post text that wil be hosted for you, I dont get it, I think I would need to know why it should be used or what cool purpose it could be used for.

    Maybe like "{Name of girl} will you marry me" used wisely you could get publicity, but really what benefit has the site over IM/Email?

    sji2671... you think too much, the site is just for fun :)

    You can post there whatever you want, including spam, some crap or complete BS.

    The thread is here, because it's about ways to promote, there's a thread in a site review forum about the site specifically.

    thanks

    sure, that's the point..
    but you can't get links from this pages, html code won't work, so only text ;)

    I'm not really seeing the point either. Especially now that you're telling us that users can't use code in their posts. You're actually defeating your point about being able to spam because spam is worthless without linking code. I don't really see the value of a service like this, for spam or anything else.

    The usefulness of your site seems limited... but talking about on forums like this one will obviously get you traffic to it.
