Its fine that the interface is sparse. The fact that the landing page doesn't imply "activity" is an issue and doesn't present enough of a benefit for the cost of a user's effort to sign up. Leave sign up for after someone gossips about a school (on the homepage). I'd also suggest some kind of "live" feed similar to digg labs for the homepage.
Check out my friend's site, http://www.couplespark.com/ http://www.couplespark.com/. Anonymous posting of relationship issues (developed through one of the popular startup clubs). The homepage actively promotes engagement.
- mtinkerhess 16y agoYes, I'm facing the chicken-and-egg users problem here, and a better call to action could help. It's complicated by the fact that I don't want to show a user any content until I know which school they're from, because I want users to know that when they post only people from the same school will see it.
