A Phenomenal Day for Spot.Us

THANK YOU ALL!!!

  1. Our first example of “community funded reporting” has been published.
  2. Our second example (which will be a 9 or 10 part series) has its first draft in and should be published on Monday.
  3. Our third example just got enough funding to start.
  4. We have a FOURTH example that just got launched. It may be our last pre-beta pitch.

And our future homepage is REALLY close to being finished. A couple touches – but here it is, the most revealing look of spot.us in the future.

    Congratulations David!! This is amazing.

    I wanted to donate for the next pitch but apparently only people from the US, UK or Canada can do it. Is there a way I can do that from Italy?
    Ciao :)

    @antonella
    Thank you very much. Unfortunately it’s limited to credit cards from the US and Canada. This is something that is beyond our control – I’m learning all kinds of fun things about e-commerce. No easy solution here. Sorry.

    But keep on rocking. Let me know if you move back to NY or come visit here in SF.

    I agree; but how come PayPal won’t work for ex-US credit cards? we use it here (in Australia) for CCs the world over.
