      <title>Meet SmoothStart. Shake hands and start generating.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am proud to announce that our &lt;span style="background-color: #ffff99"&gt;private Beta testing has begun&lt;/span&gt;. After months of meetings, arguments, wire-framing, hand-wringing, Photoshop PSDs, pats on the back, AJAX development, sleepless nights, QA testing, spilled Java Chip Frappuccino&amp;#39;s, and more QA testing... SmoothStart... is... here...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 383px; height: 401px" src="../../../files/stackscreens.jpg" alt="undefined" title="undefined" width="383" height="401" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well almost. We&amp;#39;re perfecting it. We&amp;#39;re testing it, we&amp;#39;re perfecting it some more &amp;mdash; and we need your help. As developers, we&amp;#39;re familiar with what the market needs, but we also realize how close we are to this, and we don&amp;#39;t really know how it will really turn out until we let you... the end client... the end market, really take the keys, turn the ignition, and floor the pedal on SmoothStart. We think it&amp;#39;s revolutionary, actually, we know it is. We&amp;#39;ve made this product with you in mind, with your market in mind and with what you need in mind. Okay, so I&amp;#39;m biased. But you gotta trust me on this, if you&amp;#39;re even remotely familiar with the current crop of CRM&amp;#39;s you&amp;#39;ll be shocked at how easy, and how efficient SmoothStart works. It&amp;#39;s a crime to even label this a CRM, when I think of CRM, I think of an application I don&amp;#39;t want to use. Well I wanna use SmoothStart and I know you will too. So if you haven&amp;#39;t signed up already, get to it fast. &lt;span style="background-color: #ffff99"&gt;We are giving preference to those people who sign up early&lt;/span&gt;. Sign Up Today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>It works and it works really, really good.</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="left"&gt;I&amp;#39;ll tell you a little about the app since you probably want to know more. Pretty much &lt;span style="background-color: #ffff99"&gt;anybody trying to get leads or trying to sell something&lt;/span&gt; that requires that personal touch can use SmoothStart. From mortgage lenders to aircraft charters, powdered lemonade distributors to fashion buyers, this is an across the board solution that gives businesses an &lt;span style="background-color: #ffff99"&gt;easy way to generate and manage their leads&lt;/span&gt;. If you don&amp;#39;t have a website, create one in minutes that is instantly integrated with your search marketing campaigns. Don&amp;#39;t have a search marketing campaign? Don&amp;#39;t know what a search marketing campaign is? &lt;span style="background-color: #ffff99"&gt;SmoothStart takes care of all the hocus pocus behind setting up and managing Pay-Per-Click accounts&lt;/span&gt; with Google, Yahoo, and MSN.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is just the beginning. There is so much more to SmoothStart that it would just be unfair to tell about every detail in one posting. Actually I don&amp;#39;t think that would even be possible. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smoothstart.com/signup.html"&gt;Sign up already&lt;/a&gt;, Cheers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
