I think it's hard to get great honest constructive reactions from people you don't know let alone the people you do know who just want to support you. With a startup (http://infostripe.com http://infostripe.com) outside the insider circles of the west coast (or even the US) it has been extremely difficult for us to get any professional response from the tech punditry so far. I think you face three battles in this industry. Creating something new, better or great, having someone on the inside pass a little acknowledgement to you early and getting (and accepting) good honest (negative) feedback. The lack of which can in turn lead you down the path of asking if something is any good after you have already built it. If you've gotten so far as to build your vision don't give up because every visitor or user does not get it or need it. Is your product at all useful to anyone, it's it reasonably priced? If it is then market it to those people, continue seek out industry leaders and the everyman opinion and don't give up in the face of the internet's vapid attention span too easily. If you haven't built it yet. Then consider getting to work on a prototype before spending months trying to convince anyone it's a good idea.
