Fab is testament to the fact that those annoying Launchrock type pages can help you launch a startup bigtime. I hate signing up to mysterious new apps with content-less landing pages as much as the next hacker on HN, but they can work sometimes.

We didn't use a launchrock page. We built our own viral mechanics. But, honestly, it's the products that get people to share.
I'm sure once you had the products, that's what drove engagement. You did a great job of curation there. But before you launched the ecommerce side of things, you clearly got lots of signups just using a landing page.

You guys have that rare combination of good product sense and marketing genius.
