Some context: Freezecrowd is a "coming soon" page which promises to eventually kill facebook. Development has been slow, due to a lack of developers willing to work for free.

But some progress has been made: the "coming soon" page now renders under firefox.

It's worth noting that this guy has called me a number of times over the past couple years, and he pulls the same schtick on everyone: tries to hire you as an "unpaid intern" to do considerable amounts of work that he plans to profit from.

I normally wouldn't have too big of a problem with that, except that I don't believe he's actually hired or paid a single individual to work on "freezecrowd," ever.

I have been paid by Eric as well.

False.

He paid people to make the Coming Soon page. It is "Powered By Launching Soon (v1.3)".

This content-free informercial makes me wish I had the capacity to downvote posts on the front page. I bet the four points it currently has aren't organic.

Dude, this video is hilarious. I voted it up..

Yeah, looks like I missed the point.

He seems he would do well on a salesforce evangelizing things, but seriously, 10 years from having a vision and still no prototype site?

For once a YouTube comment made me laugh rather than wish I had a YouTube comment blocker.

"You remind me of Michael Scott"

This really did sort of feel like one of the videos created by The Office writers for everyone's favorite manager.

Why do you only have "one shot"?

... which he illustrates by taking three or four shots at a basketball hoop.

Ohhh... So this isn't a joke?
