As silly as it sounds, dubstep and other fast-paced, energetic music. I find my pace of coding often matches my internal energy so that I start to slow down and get less done when listening to relaxing, meditative music.

I imagine if the execs in charge of "encouraging" M-Edge to play along hadn't been so heavy handed then we would have never even heard about this.
This is very reminiscent of the slapfight that the Bing team had with Google over Microsoft possibly stealing Google's search results. In the end both companies came off as childish and petulant.
My comment on the blog posts appearing unprofessional just meant that I can't take a casual, conversational approach to blogging which makes posts a lot easier and more fun to write. Everything has to be written from that anonymous company-as-a-person perspective so the resultant posts are dry and difficult to write.
I like your idea about providing thorough technical content though, I'm going to keep it in mind the next time I write one.
It's a triple whammy. Very few of them follow blogs (you're lucky if they own a smartphone) and any posts come off either as tacky schilling or unprofessional commentary. That being said, we still blog for the purpose of content and keywords for SERPs.
Your blog still has the starter Wordpress post in it. I understand if it isn't finished yet, but you should remove the link to it until it is.
It wasn't immediately apparent to me that this site's hook was getting entire groups of people together. The tagline sort of hinted at it ("Have your people meet my people") but I still didn't know if this was a standard one on one matchmaking site. It'd get the point across better if you showed entire circles of people on the landing page, not just one member.
Even if they DID need a license you are out of line to suggest they are automatically infringing and didn't just purchase the commercial license.
