Instant feedback ...

I can't really tell quickly what it does, why I want it, how it works, or what benefit I'll gain. Here's a screenshot:

http://www.solipsys.co.uk/images/Squardius.png (that will most likely be taken down in about 24 hours)

I'm not into photo sharing anyway, and I can't see why I'd bother to look up anyone else's photos of where I already am. It doesn't solve a problem I have, and doesn't convince me I have a problem.

It's likely that doesn't help much since I'm almost certainly not your intended audience anyway, but I thought I'd take the two minutes to give some feedback.

The site is using Html5 tags, that's why you get that. Yeah, to just look on others pictures of where you already are isn't that fun or interesting, but we think it might be useful to see pictures of community meetups, sport or musical events, not all the people can assist to an event, Sqardius allows users to see what others have seen before.

Thinking out loud - I could be wrong - but ...

Your response sounds reasonable, defending your original idea, but you haven't sold me on why I might want to do it. You need to find ways to make it sounds interesting to look at photos others have taken in this location.

Currently, I have a complete failure of imagination. Sell it to me.

And consider, are you simply defending your original idea, rather than listening and responding to honest feedback?

But I hve to go do some work now. Good luck!
