A bunch of random thoughts: - good idea, seems like there would be a market for it - I think I get what you're trying to do with the login / obfuscation system, but it's non-standard and that makes it somewhat confusing for me at first glance. perhaps sell the benefits on the homepage? - sell me on why this beats email - I like how quickly you can jump in and check it out - why not auto-capitalize family name? - do you really need time zone? if so, perhaps you could default via geo ip? - the "keep my page" button is cut off in ffx 3 - the "sharethis" option doesn't really make sense if you're trying to obfuscate these URLs... - having the "post something" options as radio buttons seems kind of odd

>- I think I get what you're trying to do with the login / obfuscation system, but it's non-standard and that makes it somewhat confusing for me at first glance. perhaps sell the benefits on the homepage? That's a great idea. I think it might be confusing for people at first, but somehow explaining how it's better will be very useful. >- sell me on why this beats email Centralised site. Communicate without email clutter. Easier to follow a site and receive regular email updates. It's similar reason that it's better to use Facebook than emailing your friends. Thanks for reminding us why we need to make this clear. >- I like how quickly you can jump in and check it out Great to hear. That's the kind of simplicity we're looking for. >- why not auto-capitalize family name? I'll add that. >- do you really need time zone? if so, perhaps you could default via geo ip? I was thinking the same, to try to assume via Geo IP. I'll look into it, but last time I checked, it was an insane amount of money to license. >- the "keep my page" button is cut off in ffx 3 Ah, okay. I'll resolve that. >- the "sharethis" option doesn't really make sense if you're trying to obfuscate these URLs... Good point - we'll be removing those. >- having the "post something" options as radio buttons seems kind of odd We thought this would be a familiar user interface element for people to understand. Perhaps it's not – I'll think about what could potentially replace it. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback! Cheers and happy holidays.
