The Opera landing page is not just disappointing, it's downright offensive.

As someone who never used MySpace and is a fleeting Facebook user, I would've been interested in seeing the new product and willing to sign up and see if it's improved at all.

As it stands right now, not only am I not going to use it based on this stupidity, I'm going to make sure none of the people I could've brought over from Facebook don't either.

Way to alienate people before you even finish the new design. Bravo. JT must be so proud.



Why on earth are some of you guy's egos tied up in your choice of browser?


> fleeting Facebook user

> Opera user

You're clearly not the target demographic though, right?


I might not be the target demographic, but when you're trying to revive a dead horse, you would think your target demographic would include people who use any browser, not just the ones you approve of.

If there's one thing I do know, Opera has a very large, very loyal following. Not sure what motivated them to simply discount these people as possible users. Not smart IMHO.
