You badly need a screencast or image-slideshow on there - show, not tell!
I had to force myself to read through that text-pitch - under normal conditions I'd have closed the tab after the first 1-2 sentences. Partly because it's not well written and partly due to the fancy font that makes it hard to read.
Your description text needs help, particularly the first sentence:
Socl is the social calendar and to-do list. Your calendar events will be posted to your social world(only if you wish)
1. Socl is not the social calendar, it is a social calendar. I don't know why the "-ial" in social has a strikethrough. 2. You need a space between the end of "world" and the beginning of the parenthesis. 3. Socl is in its early stage - something like a pre-alpha. Wait, "something like" pre-alpha? I think you mean "pre-alpha", right? It would be much more succinct and better in every way to simply say, "Socl is in pre-alpha release" or, alternatively, "Socl is pre-alpha."
Sure, can you suggest a better way ? will a internal support forum help. Google group was just a quick way as I did not have much time...thanks for review.
Just signed up. Neat application. I like the colors.
1. The font makes things hard to read. Have a clear font.
2. When I say "Next Wednesday" in the Event Time, it calculates the date for me, which is neat. But when you show the list of events, you show the date and not "Next Wednesday" -- which is the way I remember it.
3. An option for DD/MM/YYYY date format would help.
4. If I say "Next Wednesday", you'll assume "At around 12.00PM". I think you should just say "Next Wednesday", and show timing info only if the user has entered it explicitly
Agreed. I like how some companies get around the long name problem. The http://regionalhelpwanted.com/ sites all have the url http://[regionalname]helpwanted.com/ and the tag-line "long name... amazing results". Even if it's a longer name, it's memorable if you hear a radio ad.
Of course, everyone wants to be a household name like flickr and all.
Please have a way to follow people like on twitter. People want to know where their idols (the kind of people you follow on Twitter) are going to be. Expose your thoughts on twitter; expose your social geo info on socl.in.
I'm not sure what the value added is. It seems like it's a social calendar yet there's a note saying you don't have to share it if you don't want to so I'm confused.
Idea is that you are not forced to share every event. You can mute some personal events. If you notice twitter of facebook timelines, most of the people want to share what they are doing now or in near future. This is where the idea came from.

Also, "sign-in or signin using..." is awkward. Finally, the drop-shadow and strike-through (soc-ia-l) is a bit much.
