Hey, just had a go at this for five minutes, and here's what I thought. I'm probably not your 'target customer', but here's my feedback anyway!

First impression: I'm not really sure what the site does.

The first thing I see is the logo, and I don't really know what 'Write better content' means. It's too vague.

I'm then asked to 'Enter three keywords for better content creation'. I still don't know what this means, or why I'm doing this, but I do it anyway, because I want to see what happens.

I searched for 'free online education', at which point it spent a bit of time loading, before coming up with ideas for blog posts (I think!). However, some of these were a bit nonsensical, e.g. 'Whose the inclusion of links to items do not reflect their importance', 'May students also search for courses by subject, language, and institution?', 'Did a few other universities offer online textbooks?'

Conclusion: I don't mind that the algorithm is a bit iffy at the moment, becuase some of the ideas for blog posts were fairly sensible. But the messaging on the site is unclear.

Just my opinion, of course -- and one that doesn't seem to be shared by others here!

Thanks for your feedback, Chris. Today has been a crazy day!
I'd like to echo these comments. Seems like a great tool, just needs to express it's utility to the user more clearly.
