What exactly is Volley? It's not very clear as to what the purpose is from this page alone, and I couldn't find any links to learn more. Why would I signup for

  Volley gets you introductions to people you're looking for. We do this by helping you connect with people over actionable requests (Eg. “Looking to grab coffee with a developer for advice around building a NodeJS API”). These requests are sent to and acted on by a community built of your existing contacts and their contacts. By completing requests, the user gains karma (similar model to stack overflow) that could be spent on things like featured requests (think: featured listing on ebay) or held for community status.

    Sounds excellent, why don't you say this on the site?

  This. I went on the page and couldn't for the life of me work out what the service was for or about. I had been redirected to http://volleyit.co/sign-up http://volleyit.co/sign-up so I even manually took the "sign-up" bit out of the URL and tried again, but just ended up back at the same unhelpful page. I even tried to scroll up and down on the page in case it was one of these new-fangled non-obvious scoll pages - but to no avail. Getting introduced and paying it forward sounds all very worthy to be sure, but I'm not giving my gmail credentials to something when I don't know what I'm supposed to be getting in return. Did I miss something obvious?

  Yep. There is no way in hell I'm going to enter my personal information on a page for a service that offers no information about itself. This is new web service 101. Come on, guys.
