Go to the Fididel website and attempt to sign up or login with blank data to see the following:
“Your eamil address is not avalability. Please try again!” and “Your password or email is wrong”

Hopefully with that $1 million dollar investment they can employ spell checking on their content before it is published.

While this may seem like a small blunder to some, it is very telling of the things to come for this company and doesn’t show well for the quality of the rest of their service.

the future of ecommerce? please. i hate sweeping statements like that, especially from companies who have 16 year old web designers. here is the future of fididel: they raise their $1M in this bloated investment world and create a quirky useless product then rattle the swords as much as possible to generate free PR which leads to some initial traction by the curious crowd of startup watchers so they raise more money based entirely on their alexa graph which soon reverses course as everybody goes back to life as normal and fididel struggles along for another 6 months of finger-pointing and renewed business models at which point tech crunch throws them in the dead pool and the main engineers from the project form another similar company so they can rinse and repeat.

I found Fididel’s advertising in craigslist. It said that their business model was based on real time negotiation, i.e. the buyer can chat and bargain with the seller to make an immediate sales in real-time. Moreover, they also offer a service where sellers can outsource your negotiation duties to a trained and experienced negotiator. See at : http://detroit.craigslist.org/biz/589986032.html
(I am not sure whether this is the Fididel you mention, but the email of the contact person has @fididel.com)
