Protopage longevity
It has recently been announced that a competitor of ours, YourMinis, has shut down its start page, and we’ve had a number of emails asking nervously whether Protopage is safe.
We’re extremely lucky at Protopage to have very low costs and to not rely on venture capital or any external investors in order to provide our start page service. As far as we know, we’re unique in that we’re the only major start page that has not taken external capital.
Believe it or not, Protopage has now been live for over three years! We launched in August 2005, when we spent our first weekend as the #1 most bookmarked site on the “del.icio.us” bookmarks site. We’re cash flow positive, and we’d like to reassure you all that although we don’t always blog as often as we’d like, we’re here for the long run and we see no reason that Protopage will not still be around ten years from now. After all, we heavily rely on Protopage ourselves and that’s why we nurture it!

Thanks for the reassurance. As a consultant moving between sites (and home) my Protopage home page is an invaluable tool for keeping all my links in order. Keep up the excellent work.

Being a “long-term” (but not a “frequent) user, I really appreciate your commitment and the fact that you’ve issued this reassuring statement.

Thank you for all that you do. I use Protopage on a daily basis and if it went away I’d lose a lot of valuable data. Well, valuable to me at least. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. :D

Protopage is the BEST start page application on the internet and I hope that you guys get the respect and attention you truly deserve in 2009 !
If you’ve already tried the other start page applications, you know that Protopage is the best. Thanks again for all the great work you’ve done.
