Hey,

Really cool app (and great timing!). I have some feedback though about the website (haven't used the product):

* I can't find anyway to contact you guys directly. Checked the Twitter page for an email address (no luck). Checked the blog for an email (no luck). Couldn't even find anything in the WHOIS (no luck, privacy protection enabled). You should add for a way to people to contact you (if not an email address, then at least a contact form)

* The Developer features look awesome! I am interested but I don't see any way to get more information.

* Seems like there's a lot of demand for more cities (while you're at it, add Toronto and Ottawa please :)). I think you should capitalize on the demand and add a form on the website for people to sign-up for notifications. So, something like "Not yet in your city? Enter your email and select your city and we will notify you as soon as it's available". This should help a lot with marketing once the cities are available.

* Little design nitpick: The text under "A new kind of city map" is hard to read because of the white-font. It might make it better if you make the background image a bit darker.

Otherwise, the app looks amazing and I can't wait until it's launched in Canada!

Thank you. The private messaging stuff is inside the app/ on Facebook, but feel free to use rafer at [companyname] dotcom.

The developer site will go up when the iphone5 rush is over, just so we don't screw up on support. I can send API docs to people who need them sooner.

Good call on the city form.
