Bad things happen to the layout if the screen's vertical dimension is not large enough. The semi-transparent screenshots at the bottom move up over the text.

Also, I didn't like the bar at the bottom of the screen. If feels strange and also gets in the way. Personally I feel that the design could still use some fine tuning.

Yeah, it's a bit over-designed. The giant purple signup button draws the eye so strongly that at first I didn't notice the existence of a video and screenshots, or the little strip menu along the bottom.

It's kinda like a sales assistant that rushes up to ask if you're finding everything before you've gotten halfway from the door to the shelves...give me a chance to indulge my curiosity first, eh?

The bar at the bottom is meebo's in-site-chat script, it can probably be blocked.
