Quotes

Gall Brill, CEO and Founder of MySiteApp, developer of Brow.si: "Web browsing is one of the most popular activities on smartphones. With Brow.si we are giving mobile users as well as publishers the ability to bring together different features and experiences that until today existed separately or didn't work inside the mobile browser at all. We believe our platform offers website owners the tools they need to give a dramatically better experience to their audience. Two weeks into our closed beta, we have already seen over a million users try our product. What is most exciting is that sites that participated reported a growing number of users sharing content and returning to their sites through Brow.si."
"Even if a million people left, that’s just about a week’s worth of signups" Mullenwag wrote
"We still need this platform for longer forms of self expression, and a place that people can have their own domain on the web, that really belongs to them, that they have complete control of it, all the way down to the software, the actual code executing on the server someplace in the cloud. You should be able to control every single line of that. And that's the beauty of open source."
