I have to agree about the signup page appearing out of place. I'd keep it in the same style as the rest of the site. The About page has "About HumaLogger" as the header. I'm assuming you guys changed names once or twice ;)

Thanks for the link. I took a look and it's a pretty cool plugin. I'd make the animation faster. When I want help, even that .5s delay is frustrating. For your reminders, maybe you could partner up with a reminder service? Could save you a

What are you using for that help function? That's pretty well done. I like that it shows help relevant to the current page. I don't really get the reminders. I can't set the date they show up so they're not really that helpful to me. I made

Probably because your comment lacks information. "Tufte rehashed" tells me nothing. Who is Tufte? Is that a company? A person? A blog? What's their link? Is it just an inside joke I don't get? Just adding context and links to your comments

Really well laid and easy to understand. Your landing page was great for showing me exactly what it was and what the features were. One bit of confusion was the "View Demo" link on the Pricing. Because it said "View" AND had a picture of a

"Share secrets that launch and expire." I'd probably reword that. I wasn't sure what "launch" meant. At first I thought it was submitted to news sites and blogs and twitter automatically. The UI is pretty good though. Question: How do I see

I have no data to back this up but I think this is a trait of web developers and startuppers. We're all curious about new sites and business models and how sites make money. I know that as soon as I come across a new site that is at least s

I'd be interested to know if they did any usability tests and what the results were. Even just the basic cheap usability tests like describe in Don't Make Me Think. If anyone has any information on their testing process, please share!

I'd change "Unlimited FREE Voice" to "Unlimited FREE Voice Chat". I wasn't sure what the site did right away. I'd also add a link to the pricing page. I was on the Features page and wanted to know what the pro plan offered by I didn't want

This is actually pretty neat. Your textboxes on the home page are practically invisible though. If I don't enter my email address (I shouldn't have to by the way) then I get an error saying that the person wasn't found. The error should say

Here is my thought process in trying to navigate the new site. I'm typing it up as I go through it so it's very rant-like: This new UI is a nightmare to navigate. I was trying to listen to some songs I had saved. Where are my saved songs? I

I like the clean simplistic design. I also like that you have a short "privacy policy" right on the page. I'd so some testing on the "Where Are You?" button because it might confuse users into thinking that they have to put where THEY are w

I find this UI very confusing. I think some usability testing is in order. I used to go to the Recently Posted page and see a list of new songs. Then I'd take a look at song names and artist names and listen to a few. How do I do that now?

Of course, that makes sense. How about a "Preview" link that uses Lightbox or Fancybox to bring up a cropped screenshot of the cheatsheet? Just so I can get a look at some possible things they'll cover and the format of it. Not a huge deal,

Like it. There's a lot of content and it's well organized. It would be nice if there was more information on each cheat sheet before I clicked it. Maybe a list of things that are in it (Class Functions, String Functions, Regex Expressions f

I'd recommend adding a video tour. Right now I don't know exactly what it does without signing up and toying around with it.

I was confused by the video tour. I clicked watch video tour and was given the option of who to narrate it. Unfortunately I didn't know what that was. I thought I was looking at a rhetorical question along the lines of "you pick your favori

"MeetTheBoss TV is where future leaders learn." I think this is a bit ambiguous and sounds kind of marketingy. What does that it exactly? I think something along the lines of " learn how to be a better boss" or "how to climb the corporate l

I'd move the "Take a Tour" link to a more prominent location and make it a button. It took me a while to find it. The tour was good at showing me what this was all about though.

I don't think they fit your list because they're supposed to be standalone ones. Your second one is actually six words, not three, because it needs the first to have context and make sense. Still great advice though. "Find a customer" is de
