Bottom line, I think the site needs to be much easier to use. There are already a few apps like this, but one place you might be able to compete is on convenience.

First off, you might want to consider letting people play with this more without making an account. The registration was short, but making yet another account is still a big jump for some people (like me). You should let people enter cities and put pins in the map before they register so that they can play around with it and feel more comfortable. I think that would increase your conversion of visitors to sign ups.

You should find a way to add accounts via SMS or even the iphone GPS. That would make it way easier to track the various places I go than going back to the website. More moible integration seems like it's a good idea...these people travel a lot right?

I think your social system (the list of thumbnails when you click on "viewed by __ other people") looks pretty cool. Only one thought: That method of listing people places a lot of emphasis on the photos. It might be better to show more information about less people so that people can scan for something other than an eye catching photo.

Nice guy, keep it up guys

Thanks for your feedback!

Letting the people to create their map before signing up is an option we take into consideration but finally dismissed. Perhaps it's time to rethink about it.

The mobile integration sounds great! We had thought about making an iPhone app in the future but I think that there are more mobility options to explore.

You're right about showing the photos of the people who have visited a place. It's great for places with a few visitors but it becomes too much information for much visited places. We are going to remove that ajax for the next version but I think we should keep looking for an information design which would fit both cases.
