Why can't everyone use the site right now?

Some of you may be wondering why can't I access the site? Here are the reasons.

At least to start, we’re keeping some control over signups for a few reasons:

(1) our product is in a testing phase, and there are a number of bugs that we are working through;

(2) to ensure Grasshoppers have Gurus in areas that they have questions in – we want to make sure that if you come to the site as a Grasshopper, there are Gurus that can answer your questions;

(3) we’re only releasing a few categories that are of interest to some of you, therefore it wouldn’t make sense to allow access to the general public; and

(4) so that we can scale the system under control (what is scaling? It means that if a ton of people joined all at once at the beginning, then our site might slow down or crawl… and that would suck for everyone).

So please bear with us during this phase. Thanks for your patience in advance.

In the mean time, register with your email address and we'll send you an invite to start using the site.
