Thanks for the helpful posts. Also note that the developer has posted a white paper:

NOT a “very promising” web site, however. Not a single explanation of what it does or how it does it or why anyone should care.
That’s not just lousy marketing, that speaks to the developer’s incompetence. Pass

I found the website not very helpful.

These days a lack of slick marketing makes me a bit more trusting of the service. I’ve signed up for the beta and will be playing around today.

Hm. A developer can still be a good developer even if he’s not exactly good at marketing.
I am with you: He is good at hiding information. But the wiki system looks good to me - I only miss a desktop app or a browser app that lets me store files locally.
