They launched a new service called "Howard" yesterday and invited people to log onto their site to use it.

I can't find it and an email to them has not been answered.

Unbelievable!

Who exactly is paying for this? They say their service is 'free' - but someone is paying for it. Who funded the website? Who's paying their employees?

This 'service' is not needed.

It's also completely anti-competitive, based on the criteria they judge websites by. It stinks.
 
So it does ajapale.
I wonder if this is ever used by anyone?
