I have a comment about your site: (full disclosure: I don't have any expertise about marketing, or entrepreneurship or anything at all really) This may be my stupid showing through but on the front page, it looks like a piece of software that simply schedules tweets. That is a useful tool, but not something i'd pay $20 a month for considering I would probably just do it myself. It would be good if there were a little user story or something about how this service will make my tweeting easier and save me a ton of time during my daily life on the world-wide-inter-tweets... Also, it would be good to have a price on the front page. I'm hesitant to click the 'try for free' button, because if I like it, it might be too expensive and then I would be sad.

This may be my stupid showing through but on the front page, it looks like a piece of software that simply schedules tweets. Fair enough, that shows that I seriously need to work on the wording of the site, as it has several features more than that. Great point on the pricing call-out as well, I'm going to work soon to give that its own dedicated page to try and make it a bit more obvious :)

  I think `follower` had it right in another reply to the GP, be careful about pricing your service and developing features against the crowd on HN. It doesn't seem like they are the target market for your application, so make sure to read opinions you get here in that light.

> but not something i'd pay $20 a month for considering I would probably just do it myself. Keep in mind that if you're reading HN you're quite likely not to be in the target market for the site. Coders are probably notorious for doing everything themselves to not spend money & get the chance to write something themselves. There's a whole bunch of people who use Twitter for marketing and promotion who wouldn't think twice about $20 a month given the time saving and flexibility it provides--especially considering their alternative isn't a 5 line shell script but a minimum wage underling (or intern).
