I agree we need a better promotional landing page; it would really help with referral marketing. Poor cass is great with the graphic design, but only can put up there what people provide, and it's been a while since a marketing person had any real hand in this. The best one we had was probably
@Method-X 's whatisbitusd.com, but I think it's no longer active. He did a good job explaining its features in plain English. As soon as we started marketing BitShares as a currency, though, the core team shifted focus to 2.0. There were so many problems with the technology then it was hard to sell anyway. Basically it's more of an exchange than a currency now. If you want to develop a landing site yourself, then check with Method, since he is a marketing pro and he may have something you can start with.
