Like others have said, there is no apparent need for it when I can just Tweet/Facebook "Yaay! I am happy because....." My suggestions: 1. Make it more fun and social by changing the call to action from "submit" to "Tell the world", "let your friends" know etc. I am sure you get the drift. 2. Use Icons to depict the mood. This smiley --> :) is a LOT more fun than the word ---> HAPPY. icons are infinitely much more fun. If you cannot design, go to dribble and contract one of these guys http://dribbble.com/search?q=smiley http://dribbble.com/search?q=smiley 3. Your site should have a mobile version and should be fucking FAST! 4. Have twitter login too 5.You can seek advice directly from Mark Bao http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=markbao http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=markbao he launched Threewords.me that went 'ridiculously viral' (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2051288 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2051288) so he should have better feedback and suggestions. Remember, you should be thinking of building a sustainable product that is useful not just something that should go viral. Here is the very last thing you should do. In fact the thing you should never do: Pity yourself. You are a warrior for taking the leap. You now go and crush it! You can, and you will.

Thanks for the response! Submit is a pretty emotionless word- true. Twitter login is a good idea; icons to depict moods is something we have talked about but aren't sure if users will know exactly what emotion is related to a certain face. I remember threewords.me and loved the idea- I appreciate the links.

  As for the icons, you can put a word to the face. That is the designers problem. :). I doubt any real designer will have a problem of making smileys 'recognizable'.
