Took a look at your landing page - some immediate feedback - first thing I see is a popup with a video with the title 'the problems with social media'.

I don't think that's the best way to frame what you're trying to do. Don't tell me what it's not or about all the problems with current social media platforms (I already know), just get straight to what your platform does differently. I can then decide for myself if that's better or if I'd prefer it to what's already out there.

I see your point, but I wonder if that is just the nature of how hyper-aware most people in this community are of the problems. I don't know if that necessarily holds true for the general population. Thanks for the feedback.
Very good point and you might be right, but that said perhaps at least your initial audience is going to skew more towards those who are already informed and have opinions on the matter, so it might be something better for later?

That aside, very cool concept and I'll come back and check it out more tomorrow (late here). I find any effort to evolve social media pretty interesting, actually tried (and failed) with an idea in this space myself a couple of years back. It's hard and I hope you succeed. Also noticed from browsing the topics you're doing startup school - me too (Box CI) - good luck with everything!

Oh, that is a fantastic connection! We should exchange information. If you register I'll have a chance of contacting you or speaking with you on the site. (Spoiler it's mostly me interacting). Best of luck with Box CI, talk soon.
