That guy does seem to be creating a lot of "vaporware".  He seems to 
be of the school of thought that holds that the way to launch a 
project is to first get a lot of "buzz" going about how innovative 
it's going to be, and afterward start thinking about actually 
launching it someday.  In contrast, Wikipedia got started by actually 
getting started... the hype and chitchat came later.
