I always get unhappy, oddly disappointed and figuratively depressed when I see a new Web company launch with a cool intro page and blog…but then you don’t hear anything for 4 months. This is kind of like chalk: the landing page launches with some great buzz back in AUGUST:

The end product is almost ready. We’ve come a long way in a short time, but we’re about to graduate (hopefully with honors!). We hope you’ll be there at the ceremony so you can take Chalk for a test drive. Until then, sit tight and tell your friends - after all, thats what Chalk is all about, sharing.

And yet, there’s nothing there! Nothing launched! How’s that for “sharing?”

We don’t want to make the same mistake. And to avoid this mistake, we’re publishing right here when we will complete software components and when we will launch.

This may be bold or it may be stupid, but it’s different and it’s the way we work. Bold, stupid and different(ly). Or something.
