"Bookmark your favorite places, and explore places your friends like to find new favorites." What? I think this line needs to be rewritten. Your map is a little confusing for me. Clicking through to Texas shows me 32 places in Austin and 10 in San Antonio. I assumed this meant that there were no places listed in Dallas, but if you continue to click down, 2 show up. I probably wouldn't have gone that far if I wasn't exploring. On the plus side, the design is great. There was just an article at the top of HN that mentioned being "Pixel Perfect" in web design. Your site is a good example of that.

Yeps - I also thought the map was a bit confusing to use. It was great until I got to the city level...then it was weird. I didn't read the catch phrase, but totally agree with you. Thats a mouthful, and it makes me think too much. Something like "Share your favorite hangouts, and discover new ones through your friends." or "Find and mark the hottest hangouts in your hood" Heheh

  Not sure why you got down-modded. I agree with you about the maps, and am trying to tweak the clustering algorithm to be a little smarter about which zoom level it's at, how many places are in an area, etc. Also, yeah, that wording on the front page is weird. Oops.

Wow, yeah, that is confusing. Seeing it out of context makes me wonder what I was thinking when I wrote that. And thanks for the feedback on the map. It looks like I've got some work to do there. As for the design, the credit goes to Metalab for doing a great job: http://www.metalabdesign.com/ http://www.metalabdesign.com/
