That highlight makes my eyes jump around the screen too much, it's bothersome.

As for the content, I don't think App.net is dreaming to hit 500m users. They're dreaming to hit a select few, intelligent users, to use their beautiful ecosystem of an API. I don't want them to dream big. If they were dreaming big, they'd cater to advertisers, which is exactly what they don't want.

I'm sorry you don't like my design.

If they honestly think 500 million people are going to pay for their service, they are greatly mistaken. I can dream 100 billion people are going to give me a dollar, but that's not going to happen for many reasons. The same is true with their "dream."

Did you even read what he wrote? They DON'T aim for any such amount of people using it.

Design is quite nice. I really do like your stuff, Sam. Colors are very pleasant, but I think the highlight is a little distracting from your content. Goes against your design principles, in my opinion.
