We are still in Alpha and so there is a lot of things we want to still do but for now we had a minimum viable product and hope to keep developing it. We wanted to allow people to vote, just like they can on here, in case they wanted to crea

We set out to allow people to create their own news networks and incorporated the cms-style options and chat options later. We want to be able to create a secured Reddit - let people create their own version of Hacker News. I think the conc

If you roll over the different options 'post, share and chat' it gives you some more info about what we are trying to do. We will look to make it clearer. There is a return to neetly home in the top right hand corner (after you have clicked

Yes, it was even more buried before the start of the day and we moved it to what we hoped was a more prominent position today! We will make it more prominent, thanks for the feedback

Can easily implement the password change. How would you like to see chat implemented? More along the Facebook lines? Thanks for creating a network, is it something you could see yourself using?

Thanks. We will look to replace the word network then and go with something more appropriate. We had never considered that people would take it to be a VPN type idea and the fact that people are means that we will definitely change the word

It is similar to Yahoo groups but it can also be used like a secure reddit. So you can create a network, like Hacker News, invite who it is you want to join your network and then post (just like Hacker news) interesting articles that people

We will look to explain it better on the homepage - Our unique selling point is the ability to create private networks which can be joined by trusted people, and for the individual, the ability to be part of multiple networks which are sepa

Excellent, glad you like the idea. If after trying it feel free to drop us some feedback on here or via the contact us section the site. Thanks

Neetly enables you to create one or many secure networks. You can create them for your family, friends, for a large community or for just yourself. You control invites to the network. You can use neetly to post articles for discussion, you

Yes I definitely will. There is so much great stuff here that I can use. The quality of discussion within Hacker News never ceases to amaze me. I don't think big company execs realise this community exists, if they did and they asked the ap

Could Twitter be of any use to banks? I have noticed that very few, if any, banks use Twitter. If they used it in a Dell like fashion to promote banks products at a reduced price or if they used it in a purely customer help way would this b

If it categorises it correctly this could be a great tool. I could set a budget for say my food shopping and get push notifications when I am about to go above my budget.

BankSimple's founder has hit it on the head: "If you log in to say Bank of America or Chase, the application is clunky, it feels very fragile, it breaks all the time, it’s hard to find the information, it doesn’t work like a machine. If you

Excellent, thanks. I will check out those companies that you mention. As you say I think all bank website desginers must have gone to the same college and been taught by a flawed professer. I think the biggest challenge for banks is to prov

A really simple thing that banks could add is that in Englan when I login to my banks website and I then have a question, I have to pick up the phone, go through 100s of security questions and then I get to speak to someone and I get to ask

It is the same over here - I can print off Statements but they are not 'official' instead they are a list of transactions with the bank logo but they can not be used as a means of identification which is sometimes needed. I used to work in

That's a great idea. My housemates all use a notepad and pen to write their weekly/monthly budget out and like you say they seperate that into different categories. Their bank should provide a form for them to write in their budget and then

Sorry I misunderstood your point - you are right they don't have to. We don't want two sites doing the same thing. I think Twitter is doing a good job forging it's own identity, it is Facebook that seems to be borrowing ideas from everywher

Really fair set of comments. At times Facebook can feel like one big bolt on and twitter have done well to avoid that. I just wondered why when a feature as big as Facebook Like could work on Twitter why (if it hasn't already been) it has n

I totally agree. This could then lead itself to an improved likestream which could then take on Digg seriously.

They don't. However Facebook felt the need to borrow Twitters @replies ( http://mashable.com/2009/09/10/facebook-mentions/ ) so why can't Twitter borrow the Facebook like. Yes they are different sites and yes they serve different purposes.
