Thanks for the feedback and suggestions Ian, as for the design, well, it's a themeforest template ( http://themeforest.net/item/oneland-landing-page/156922 http://themeforest.net/item/oneland-landing-page/156922 ) and that guy seems to know his stuff. Glad you like the video, I wasn't sure about that, I had the choice between this and a demo video...RSS is very exciting for some folks, the guy love the service, so not much work to convince him. The pain we are solving: Removing all the ads and junk from rss feeds article, turning shortened rss feeds article to full text articles, creating an rss feed for a static page without RSS...that's just some of the problems we are trying to fix, have you tried it with the Hacker News Feed? here it is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/feedsapi/gakK http://feeds.feedburner.com/feedsapi/gakK you are fully right about having some example on the landing page, will update

You really have to demonstrate in which situations it is superior to just a "regular" rss syndication service like http://netvibes.com http://netvibes.com Maybe create some "cases" where you can show the true benefit from your product as mentioned before. At the moment the API makes it sound like a b2b tool (i.e. a tool only for those that work with APIs already?) and I am not sure in how far they would use such a service (familiarize with the API) over just coding something similar themselves. But what I could indeed see as a very successful service is something, where you just enter a shortned rss feed and it spits out solely based this information a full-text rss feed. You got to pick one of these aspects, focus on it and clearly communicate it - otherwise the API thingy is making it very tricky to interpret what it does. Oh and one more thing... the testimonial guy has in my opinion already a bit of "overexposure" through the web. Be careful about that. I hope you know what I mean...

  Yeah, got it with the testimonial Guy :) , will replace the video by a new demo highligting the features for normal Joe's. "But what I could indeed see as a very successful service is something, where you just enter a shortned rss feed and it spits out solely based this information a full-text rss feed." That's exactly one of thing it does, I will try to focus on that in the video demo-ing the product, and maybe write a new tag line focussing only on this feature. Thanks for the great suggestions.
