Because free shit don't make money, yo.



Neither does an obviously flawed business model. I can't imagine ever wanting to use this as-is. Horribly insecure.

I've been using gotty with great success for a while.


The truly evil business model would be to offer this as a free service. The company would be set up for a very profitable acquisition just by their placement in their customer's data streams.
