Personal opinions - first impressions ...

I hate video - I far prefer a single, elegant diagram with a small amount of text:

    +---------+
    | Twitter | ------.
    +---------+        \
                        \                           Something here
    +----------+         \                          to show that
    | Facebook | -------------> Suplify Timeline    you can easily
    +----------+         /                          search or index
                        /                           in the timeline
    +-------+          / 
    | Email | --------'
    +-------+
I don't care why you did it - I really, really only care about the pain you will take away. Is this an aspirin? Or is it a vitamin? Will you take away pain? Or will you help me work stronger and faster?

Try not to say "Both" - try to be more focussed.

I've not watched the video, and you may answer this there, but how can I find things quickly and easily? Do I search with a text box?

These are my instant reactions, those were my immediate questions, and from your landing page I can't see how to get them answered. I can watch the video, but I have no idea if that will answer my questions. I'd like to see from the page a link or graphic that makes it clear that clicking there really will answer my question(s).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your feedback! This are some very good points you make. We will definitely add a diagram like that to our page.

Regarding your questions: We take the pain away of managing all these different channels. All the incoming messages are stored in suplify and you and your colleagues can reply right there. And you can see what your colleagues wrote.

Is that immediately clear from your landing page? Is that your main message? Shouldn't your landing page shout:

    Overwhelmed by input channels?

    Manage them simply with Suplify!
    Combine - correlate - instant access.
    Control and manage your information
    flow from email, twitter, facebook,
    and more.
Or something.
