UPDATE Feb 9, 2013: People have been (understandably) very anxious as to why the site has been down, and no idea about how shares will be handled since GLBSE disappeared. I'd like to provide an update. I also encourage anyone interested to chat with me on skype (acc: evoorhees) 1) I'm current working to get the GLBSE FZB database from Nefario. Once I do, we'll get it re-listed, likely on BitFunder. 2) I'm paying to have the entire site redone professionally. It'll be very nice. 3) Once the new site is up (1-2 months) and the shares relisted, I'll start marketing it again. It will have a live support agent to help newbs learn how to use it. That's the plan. I apologize for the months of sub-par service with this. The FZB holders deserve better, so that's what I'm doing now. Thank you for your patience thus far. --------- Hello Community, FeedZeBirds.com, the Bitcoin Twitter advertising platform with nearly 3,000 users and over 40,000,000 ad impressions served thus far, is launching shares on Thursday, May 24, at 15:30 EST via GLBSE.com.

Now *THIS* is what a prospectus should look like. It almost sounds like you have a business plan that extends beyond the IPO period! |

Bold pricing, considering you earned 47.5 BTC in total in over half a year so far... At least you're honest about it and produced a nice document to read. Good luck and it's great to see something different on GLBSE too! |

I'm disappointed that I didn't get in on the pre-IPO. It's one of the only pre-IPOs I haven't bought into.  Good luck, though! |

Earn BTC by retweeting it! Can I earn a few shares instead of BTC? I have a large following. |

I'm interested.
I see no mention of salary costs for the upkeep. Are the two of you working for no fixed salary (i.e. you earn just return on the equity you retain)? If so, how sustainable is this as the service grows?

The system pretty well runs itself. For the foreseeable future, Erik and I will continue to work at no cost to the company. For the duration of the plan outlined in the prospectus, this means I will manage the software development and design team. Erik will implement the marketing plan and take care of public relations. Nothing we have planned will require a significant increase in man hours after this build out. It is conceivable that we would hire someone to help with administration and support if the business grows much faster than expected. |

I'm somewhat surprised there isn't more excitement for something that isn't pirate related, but glad that it looks like I'll get all the shares I can afford.
The more real businesses we get on the exchange, the better.

I think they're all being quiet in hopes of the same. We made a new campaign for a last minute marketing push. Everyone tweet! http://www.feedzebirds.com/3g9lk |

I really like that you can retweet this and have the proceeds go straight into your GLBSE account where you can use it to buy FZB. You can bootstrap into bitcoin stock ownership without ever having your own wallet! |

Can someone please tell me why are there bids higher than 0.08667? Is there any advantage in doing that? Thanks.

You can bootstrap into bitcoin stock ownership without ever having your own wallet! With a 6 conf requirement, and 1 hour left, this is your last chance to get the money in time. Can someone please tell me why are there bids higher than 0.08667? Is there any advantage in doing that? Thanks.
I was wondering that myself... |
