Hey Guys, Congrats for launching. Feedback: I personally don't find the "via x" text something that affects the brand of the company, I guess big companies might, but if that is the case - what is the point of launching a SaaS product? Nice design.

  Thanks for the feedback eytan :) I can see where you're coming from, but certainly to some brands, brand consistency is paramount and I suppose I would suggest that this attitude would be found in companies who have, or are seeking, a big impact or large following, and todays web based business models has brought both to smaller and smaller companies, with fewer resources (lean!). We hope this is useful to any business using social media but know it will be particularly poignant for those who are seriously brand orientated.

I like the design, and the cleaner look than Hootsuite, who’s usability sucks (for me at least) . But the Branding aspect means that onboarding process is a bit cumbersome. As it means creating new apps for both Facebook, and Twitter, it does make getting up and running take a while. I wonder if having a quicker way to get up and running - or at least take a look around - might be good for signups.

  Thanks You're right, this is the real drag but is the only way to achieve this as neither facebook nor twitter offer a way to generate apps programmatically (understandably). The process (or guide) we have at our end could definitely be improved, we have plans for a more interactive affair. I do like the idea of a demo, perhaps a quick video?

    Either would work for me. More hand-holding in the app creation process would definitely be good!

Just to note; this is currently powering posts seen by over a million facebook users and a quarter of a million twitter users everyday with great success. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, thom[[at]]seddonmedia.co.uk
