baseloop's comments

The general theme on the comments so far is that the homepage is not descriptive enough to entice anyone here to sign-up. It seems to be a consensus so far, so we will definitely go back to drawing board with the homepage design. I'm glad, however, that people feel that at least the general design is nice. I would definitely appreciate the same level of incisive feedback on the product itself, as opposed to just the homepage design, but I guess I can't get there until the homepage is redone.

Just to give everyone a datapoint, to-date we have about 30,000 registered users, so the current survey style homepage has been somewhat effective at piquing people's curiosity. We actually modeled our homepage off of hunch.com, a company that we really respect.

Point taken. How would you suggest we go about this? I look at other sites like Facebook and Twitter, and it's not entirely clear upfront what they do either. Are you suggesting something like an "About" or "Learn More" page?
