Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback. I agree - I did move the personal details to the back in order to make sure that we are only gathering from people that are vested at that stage. Also, I understand the value in explaining the idea on a landing page or similar, but at this stage, I am trying to first validate that what I see as a problem is in fact a problem - then I can objectively propose a solution. Again, trying to make sure that other people want or at least show signs of wanting what I do before I build something. :)

I see this new notion of interviewing people before working on an idea is becoming quite popular. I know it's useful to know if people would find something useful, but I think there's the danger of never trying out really innovative ideas. Much like writing, building things is an exploratory process. Typically my own ideas evolve and improve only once I actually start building them. This is especially true for things that are useful to myself and not just other people. There is the risk that you will waste your time. But doing something new and useful often involves risks. And seemingly silly or bad ideas are often the best - http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2007/06/three-types-of-ideas.html http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2007/06/three-types-of-idea...
