Dear Fedora User:
I'm a Fedora User Just Like You and I Love Helping Linux in What I can. Getting straight into the point, I work in a Startup with some people here in my country and by now, we need access to a service called "LaunchRock" for one of our projects.
Someone in the Fedora Comunity LATAM once said:
"In OpenSource World, maybe sometimes who you know less is who can help you most" Trying to explain the idea of No matter how far we are between each others, the love for the community itself can Join us in one same spirit.
Today I come to you asking for your help. If you'd like to help us here, just go to:
http://launchrock.com/fqdkp (My Promotional Link for invite users)
and insert one E-mail adress to "apply for an invitation" Unless you invite many people using your own link the service will never contact or spam you in life, don't worry.
it Would be great if you share the link I gave you above with other people asking them to "sign up" for the service, it is just to help our project in this side of the world and it won't take you more than 3 minutes to help us sharing that link I gave you :)
Thanks and God Bless you.

No offence, but how do we know this isn't some kind of phishing scam? I for one have no intention of signing up for your service unless you *at minimum* describe what it does, which you seem to have neglected to do.

I took a quick glance at it and it looks like a pyramid scheme of some sort. No thanks!

@Patrick: it is not my service, it's a Service I need to my service :S (it sounds confusing huh? :S) See, I'm working in a webapp with some people and we need to have a "sign up" solution like in that link I sent. (Obviously explaining the product) The thing is, that Service Launchrock it's a startup that let other startups create their own "viral coming soon pages" but the only way to use it is inviting some people to get access

Two comments: first, I presume that the people running that service are making money out of it and second, how hard can it be for a web designer to create your own custom page? It sounds to me like a solution for a non-existent problem that's designed strictly to siphon money out of suckers.

Update: I Got Access. Zero money earned by the service of that guys and it fits my needs great (The point was avoiding the creation of that page from scratch)
Thanks!

You refer to me but respond to Joe Zeff's comment rather than mine, so I'll rephrase my point: how can you expect people to click on a random URL without even explaining what it's for? Saying "it's for my new app" is simply not good enough.

And I'll take it a step further, Patrick. Why do you expect random strangers on a mailing list to give their email addresses to an unknown website that doesn't explain what it's going to do with them? For all I knew (or, for that matter, know) doing that signs me up for a spammer's mailing list that's impossible to get off of again. You may trust the people running that site, and you may even be right to do so, but I know nothing about them and have learned over the decades why trusting strangers I can't even see (such as the owners of a website) is generally not a good idea.

I needed that service LaunchRock to use it on a new Webapp I'm helping to develop here... But well, anyway, I got access to the service
Thanks, problem solved.

And we are left none the wiser.
You can lead a horse to water, even force its head under it, drown it, and it will still not drink. Some people are like that. Super-thick is what we call them in the Security world. Fun to watch them, not fun to work with them.
