Sounds as though there is a little animosity coming from a few jealous cynics. With the ingenuity and forward-thinking in which Christos pioneered E*TRADE into the forefront of the online banking and brokerage industry, I believe anyone who is in the “foxhole” with him when he comes out for the full attack, will be winners. Time will tell, so let’s give Christos and Moli some time.

Nice shill coments Moli is a dog actually on wall street we call it a pig. These guys went through $20 mil and now raised another $20 mil I would be scared!!!!!! What idiot spends that type of money??? Dont they know its web 2.0 I am adding MOLI to the dead pool this time next year. I hope Costakos saved his money from etrade because when he gets sued on this he will need it to fight.

MOLI certainly is “too focused on marketing” because they’re doing in part by using the very disreputable practice of astroturfing.

After a less than flattering review of Moli (in which I called them out on, ironically, some privacy issues due to immediate spam) Moli got caught astroturfing in the comments.

After a suspicious “MOLI is awesome!” comment, a reverse lookup revealed that the comment originated from Moli’s own network, as detailed in this post:

Moral of the story: $30m will not buy you brains. Or integrity.

The Moli.com astroturfer Hawk5721 turns out to be none other than Moli’s Director of Customer Care, Daniel DiFiore:

Awesome indeed.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for; as a designer I need to start selling myself and my designs and by having the ability to manage both in one place is ideal. It is light-years more advanced than Ning.
HOLY MOLI ROCKS!

Kudos to Cotsakos for coming up a business plan that generates income for NOT advertising. That plus the traditional ad revenue makes for a great way to make a profit while allowing users relief from the ad-driven web.
