Very slick pre-launch signup form. It’s amazing how many sites basically ask for 1/4 of a profile to sign up for pre-launch. All you need is an email address, seriously.
The blog they use is tumblr, super-simple to sign up and alias to a subdomain. Posterous is another good one. Looks like Fabulis is running everything off of Amazon Web Services.
Keep an eye on this one, got my spider-sense in tingling.
