Is Spottt Actually Going Anywhere Or Is It Just Me?
Back in early November of last year, I preempted the launch of Spottt. Spottt is a free link exchange between sites via a 125 x 125 widget. Spottt is developed by the guys over at Adbrite, so they have a product that needs to work and actually launch into something worthwhile. Since Adbrite has had a lot of VC Funding, they will be really expected to not just launch a product for the sake of it, and actually turn it into a commercial entity.
This brings me to the all important point, is Spottt actually going anywhere? Currently, the site is so simplistic and has a lot of competitors doing exactly the same thing. So where is it unique selling point? If I was the VC in Adbrite who put in a slice of the money, then I would expect an out strategy for Spottt and within a year or two at the most. Will this actually happen? and what features are really missing from Spottt or sites like Spottt?

I think the guys lost their focus. working for a company, normally won’t allow you enough time to fully dedicate to a community. and I believe that’s the main reason.
and you’re right, there are a lot of competitors out there, but I wouldn’t say they are all doing exactly the same. well, the output is free web promotion, but the means are different
so, spott was a good try, but looks to be over
