I'd love it if you liked us on facebook.com/utellit, followed us @getutellit and signed up for the beta at utell.it so we can send you the app via Test Flight (if you have an iPhone). We'd love for you to start sending a bunch of utellit messages and give us feedback on flow, design and what new features or changes you would like to see. Please send feedback to feedback@utell.it. What you are doing is super cool and I deeply appreciate your time.

I'd be VERY happy to help you, but your approach is completely wrong. By asking me to "Like" your facebook page and follow you on Twitter, you end up losing more than you could have potentially gained. I'm very supportive of projects which I believe are interesting and helpful to my followers and will add them willingly to my incoming content. If you coerce me into it before deciding that on my own, individuals (like myself) will use other factors to decide if they will take your desired action (like your request = pushy; or our past relationship = n/a).
If you want people to take your desired action that will affect them long term (like including your project in my twitter feed), give them some incentive! ;)
I also do not have an iPhone to test your idea with, unfortunately. And your blog link at the bottom of the page doesn't work yet. Also, I think your homepage is somewhat misleading. Even if you're trying to be funny, your mentions of high profile blogs and quotes of yourself may be more harmful than humorous.
