Dear Josh Petersen,

thank you very much for your email.

Based on a market research we decided to redesign our website 2 weeks ago because of the fact that a large proportion of the German users don`t understand our original idea: “to match people and their goals and help them to achieve these goals”. The average German user is not familiar with concepts like technorati, meetup, et al. As a conclusion we will improve the user guidance and add more serious content. A comparison between your and our website has shown that a few users see similarities concerning the homepage but not concerning second level sites. Nevertheless, the redesigned website will be very much different on all levels and since we are already working on the new design you are kindly invited to visit our website in 2-3 weeks but please understand that we don´t see the necessity for any kind of “reporting”.

Best Regards from Germany
David Kuczek / Dr. Berit Ernst

It would appear they have lost their “advisors.”

Well, they didn’t listen to us anyway, so what.

Did you correspond with them

What do you mean they didn’t listen to us?

Interesting catch

Argentina, perhaps? jk.
