Congratulations on the launch! I think the concept is great, but your site is pretty bare. I would suggest adding more info to get people through the conversion funnel. How it works, case studies, who the influential people are, etc.

Most probably they will add that once they get the initial feedback.

I tried Sunnytrail about 6mths ago. At that time it appeared to be focussed on funnel and cohort analysis (the latter being why I checked it as at the time neither MixPanel nor Kissmetrics had it).

So this looks like a bit of a pivot?

This seems to be a "feature" existing in other products such as intercom. Not sure I'd want _another_ user tracker just for this purpose.

This is just the beginning. You can follow us to see further development.

I actually found it pretty easy to understand, but it wasn't clear that it was the Klout score. I half thought you mined a ton of celeb emails and were checking them against what I send.

This is awesome though! Great idea! I'm already up and using it!

The service was just launched and is looking for feedback.

Can you explain how this works? I couldn't find any info on your page.

The chat feature is pretty sweet for a new service. That's a nice job on the part of the founders doing the extra work to help people out. Nice job guys, and good luck!

Yeah I thought it was, I ended up at SnapEngage because of it and It seems like a great customer service tool. Definitely seems like something I would love to have when we go live. Customers first!

Do you really need to use CAPTCHA? It increases the bounce rate needlessly in most cases.

Interesting. Is this opt in on their part or are you doing some form of online stalking? I'm curious how it works the site has a very clean design. Good job.

I'm curious as to how it defines identity. If handled through email or domain, I'm sure many influencers have non-public spam-catcher gmails; if done by name alone, there will be false positives due to matching names or pranks.

If I met the threshold for an influential person, this would probably make me more than a little uncomfortable, and I'd start signing up to services with fake info.

It's not opt in. We add context to a user based on public information about him available online. Being able to opt in is an interesting idea.
