No one is talking about it because the site design is horrible...

Clicked 3 links and I still don't know what they do or did.

That's true. but I believe the website could be useful if you know what it is....

a lesson we can learn from its failure...

so sad that no one is even talking about it, not on HN, not on Quora.

I had never even heard of it before. Perhaps that is the problem they ran into? (Not that I hadn't heard about it, but maybe nobody had outside of whatever bubble they grew in).

I start to wonder why everyone's heard of Tumblr but not Jux. Marketing problem?
