Just a lot of work to do. Of course we got the first version finished much earlier but decided to build the product much further before going public. All the things done in the backend like the recommendation engine and natural language processing that aren't necessarily instantly visible to the users caused a lot of work for us. 2) Use a good PR agency. :) We hired a very good agency that understands our service and knows the industry. They have helped us tremendously. Hi Felipe,

A couple of questions for you... I'm just curious: 1) Two years? It sounds like a lot of time to me. Did you guys have any issues that came up that might have delayed your original plans (that you can/want to share)? Or any other reason for it? 2) Any marketing tips. You guys were on techCrunch 3 times or something (besides the fact that you know Erick)? Anyway, site looks great. Looking forward to seeing where it will go.
