Marc, that's a really long explanation (iron man? microstore? a new form of marketing?) for something that's basically a somewhat improved alarm clock? Feedback: the homepage doesn't really explain what it is clearly. The wording can be better ("wakes you up verbally"?). You should show screenshots of the app, and try to communicate its value/why it's cool (with quotes from users perhaps). I couldn't even find a screenshot in the blog.

I didn't mention in the description of the post what the next general step for the company is. We're going to be leaving the morning space fairly soon, meaning we'll integrate with your calendar to let you know what you need to regarding where you are and where you need to be (both physically and metaphorically). We're trying to transform the moment of alert into a moment of informed decision making. We'll be looking at emails and other areas that involve alerting and decision making, too. We're aware of the lack of information conveyed on the website. That's on the backlog, but it's just recently been pushed closer to the top of the stack.

  ok :) To understand this better: are you asking for feedback on the plan/strategy, or on the current site and app?

  The idea itself, as it currently stands, is an amazingly strong one that is relevant to almost everyone. Are you sure it's necessary to get so complicated so fast? I worry that perhaps you'll lose potential customers and mindshare by being too quick to "web2.0 it." For instance, I almost stopped reading this post after the first couple sentences - the information was in the wrong order. Tell us the simple version first, then tell us how it will grow. I hope this doesn't sound rude - I don't mean it to be. I really like your idea.
