If you don't mind my asking, is your name easy or difficult to pronounce? [In my talking to people, I have found, statistically, that people with easy names (e.g. Bill Smith) think there is no demand for this service, and people who either

Thanks for the frank feedback. Maybe in its current form it doesn't have much of a future. When this all started, my grand vision was the following: Imagine that soundkeys are common-knowledge and familiar to everyone. Then, you could have

Can you guys think of a way to say that without using the word TwitPic, which I guess gets into trademark issues?

Well, I do try to explain on the site that it's not just for pronunciations, but for any sound whatsoever (funny sounds, etc) It's like TwitPic but for sounds. You Record/Upload your sound and share on social media like Twitter, just like y

It seems to me just vaporware for now. Have they stated that they have working code?

The site is http://soundkey.com , and it aims to be something like flickr for sounds. So, the content it needs is audio (recorded directly on the website, or uploaded by the user) for any sound that the user feels they want to share. It co

I would wonder if you really need people to activate their account that early in the process Yeah, I agree. I'll see if I can remove the requirement to activate. EDIT: Done!

Do you have a way to shorten that link up some? I'm using Joomla, so I don't have much control over the content of the activation emails. I could go and probe to see which part of the code sends these emails and change it to something sho

Of course no analogy is perfect, but I fail to see the relevance of your point. Country roads can evolve into paved roads and content that is currently coded in Flash can evolve into content that is coded in HTML5. But today , when I want
