   Thanks zarroba! Excellent feedback, I'll make it a little more clear what visitor is expected to do. On another note though, you not finding the hidden images for at least a minute meant the game worked ;). We're starting with iphone, but u

   yep, we used http://minimal.be/lab/jQuery.eraser/ and modified it a bit. We do plan on posting a full guide on what we did with a homepage, but it'll come at a later point.

   That's a very valid point. Our problem was solved, this is just another problem. I didn't just focus on a specific city, I chose SF Bay Area- this was because most people who tested this product were interested in meeting elsewhere (such as

   We didn't have prior experience with any programming or design experience prior to this app. While we are considering eventually learning Android, it won't be for a while because we'd have to start from scratch again and it would be better

    Yep! lesson learned. We're already looking into geotargeting advertising but it still seems that it'll be beyond our budgets before we can reach that tipping point where everyone can utilize it fully. We'll continue to think of alternatives

    I didn't realize that color.com had a similar problem. The only thing I remember about them is that they spent 350k purchasing their domain name. We did have features that allowed people to share events but didn't actually offer any incenti

    Thanks, we do realize now that no matter what, just like our first failed startup- it was a learning experience and will allow us to not make the same mistake in the future.

    We took our Facebook page down- it was mostly spammed by robotos and advertisements. We saw much more success by having just the tweet button alone.

    Thanks for the support! Well look into the YouTube videos and Adwords budget but it could be difficult to gain traction with many other similar advertisers our there(higher cpc and smaller budget to compete with), but I totally get what you

    Very good reading, thank you. We did launh an update to focus in only SF bay areas for now but will still need work to securing users.

    Fantastic advice from you and Instakill, thank you. I had never even considered starting in another country besides the US. It definitely sounds like a starting place to seriously consider. I agree that the copy on the site needs to be redo

    Yeah we originally planned to allow it for all of US but because of the sparse users all spread out, we quickly focused on San Franciso bay areas first. The niche does sound Like an idea to consider though, thank you.

    I could, but even with a new name and relaunch it wouldn't fix the problem of the users being too far spread out sparsely in te US

    I did consider it but it would still be meaningless because there would only be tht one person attending that event. The problem is that the downloads are too sparse within the US, so users aren't able to join each others events as they're
