So, this is "let us track all your browsing activity" with a reward system and marketing that tries to leverage the trendiness of alternative currency, right?
Actually that's way off, sorry :)

PIXDO is not selling/renting any private information - just to put this off the table.

It's about content discovery and fixing the broken bounce rate of the internet.

You might just as swell say that reddit/hackernews/stumbleupon/pocket are tracking you by voting up certain posts and all their features are mere "marketing". On PIXDO you 'vote up' by visiting for 24 seconds that is all.

The main difference is that PIXDO give a full experience. It's not a utility, it's a seamless part of your browsing.

You can contact me directly at info@pix.do for more information, ask anything you'd like.

Hey! That's my startup and I didn't even post this! How awesome is that? Thanks jphallain
Impressive beautiful page.

Looks like a remarkable interpretation, or btc/alt-currency net original creation.

Not sure what it does --that's Ok, I like the mystery.

Before someone gives you their email, shouldn't they know what is being downloaded, and that it is compatible with their OS or browsers, or what?

Thanks for this honest comment. I agree, I should definitely be more clear about that in the landing page.
I'm using it for awhile and I can definitely say that I recommend it.
