custom landing page for press day -- wise or unwise?
We knew we were going to get a bunch of press today after releasing the news of closing our round -- so we decided to build a custom landing page for folks coming from the publications that ran stories about us. (You can see it here: edulender.com/march8. Our normal home page is here: edulender.com/) We will publish some summary stats here in an update in the next day or two -- but we'd like to know what y'all think about this method. Wise or unwise? Enlighten us.
custom landing page for press day -- wise or unwise? launched on March 8, 2011 with 15 votes, #65 of 272 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Edulender created a custom landing page to direct press traffic from news coverage of their funding round announcement. The page serves as an alternative entry point to their standard homepage, designed specifically for visitors arriving from publications covering their news. The creators sought community feedback on whether this targeted approach was an effective strategy for handling surge traffic from media coverage.

Waiting on hold wastes your time AND your concentration; you can't be coding in the zone when part of your brain is waiting for an operator.

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each.
