Here's some concrete suggestions: Instead of : " What is MindWallet? blahblahblah " Maybe something like: With MindWallet, you can socially or privately organize your plans and goals. Simplify problems by breaking them up into subtasks and coordinate with friends to complete tasks on-the-fly. MindWallet enables you to manage your to-do list instead of having it manage you. MindWallet: * Displays your current tasks and lets you break them into subtasks * Communicates with friends within your to-do list * Integrates with social networks * etc...etc...etc...

Instead of: "Get addicted to MindWallet in 10 steps: blahblahblah" Make this be a direct link that says: (Get started with mind wallet.) Then, this link opens a view to facebook connect. When the user completes that, show them an automatically-created first task list. For the first time creating a task list, show them guide indication arrows to important CRUD operations (e.g., "Create your first goal =>) Think of this like a videogame tutorial, you have to show them by making them do it. Continue down your list, implementing each task as a tutorial step that you hold their hand through. As an anecdote, my grandmother recently couldn't figure out how to click a recipe link on my facebook news feed. I said "Cool recipe" and had the link posted. She couldn't figure out that blue text was a link. You have to really help nontechnical users.

  I actually do that. If you sign up you get a filled out list that has 'create my mindwallet' crossed out and a space to put a todo list for the day. I'll consider getting rid of the list. On the splash page. The more I look at it the more I realize it is too much.

    Yup, less is more. Especially on an application main page. If you explain it somewhere else, just put a huge pretty button to click to find that guide, and don't give them directions anywhere else except the FAQ/Documentation page you have.
