Some threshold has been passed when there is a startup for creating launch pages (launchrock.com)

A threshold has been passed but I'm not sure it's bad ... the whole "Lean Start-up" movement is all about testing and why not test your market before you've invested much time. I do wonder whether the pain of moving off the platform might not be evident until much later though.

I thought the same thing at first too, but then decided this was no different from any other startup providing services to other startups (like metrics, or novel databases). Unlike some of those services, this one at least eliminates an issue people tend to procrastinate around.

I'm really torn about LaunchRock. I think they're doing a great job at something that tons of companies have needed over the years and will need.

But I really hate seeing posts on HN that are just asking for feedback on a coming soon page.
