I'm working on http://postcardsocial.net/ http://postcardsocial.net/ I'm building this for a couple key reasons: 1. I wanted a better way to directly get social content on my own website as I blogged less and less and used social media more and more. 2. I wanted to develop an open API protocol for social networking communications. The mobile app uses this protocol to communicate with WordPress sites that use the plugin component but ultimately any web server implementing the protocol could work. I'm actually now looking for people interested in beta testing both the WordPress plugin and mobile app so please sign up on that page if interested. I'm also keeping a blog with more information on everything http://blog.postcardsocial.net/ http://blog.postcardsocial.net/ Great idea for a HN thread! I'll visit frequently and comment on others' shares.

Wow, very cool. Though I'd suggest refining the homepage h1 a little more - is this a wordpress plugin (I know it is - but the h1 doesn't tell me that)? Maybe add a h2 that says: 'Get our wordpress plugin that ____' Where ____ == a very clear description of what this does. Good move on making the key point the value proposition, I'm just not exactly sure how it works.

  Thanks for the feedback, that's a really good point and very relevant to a challenge I see for myself. I think I still need to work on explaining it better and getting the whole point across. It's weak on explaining how it is actually executed.

I think you are trying to use full width of the browser. On my 27" iMac it looks a lot more spread out than it should. I would suggest using a limited width.

This is sweet. I think if you could extrapolate it one step further and let me sign in to your app, hook up social accounts, and let see a single unified timeline, you would be on to something huge.
