| First, as always, congratulations on launching and getting something out the door. I think that's one of the hardest things to do, so kudos to you for getting something out there. I kinda like this idea though I'm not sure I'd pay $9.99 a month for it. Also, if you were industrious enough you could do this yourself with a private WP blog that you email posts to, but obviously not everyone knows how to do that. A few thoughts about your web site that after a first look. 1.) The first thing that grabs my eye is the "A Diary + Twitter = LifesBook" yellow block in the center of the page and it immediately confused me. I first thought that the app somehow integrated with Twitter and then thought "There's no way I'd post my private thoughts to a Twitter stream." At this point, peeps who feel the same way might move on. 2.) The phrase "(SMS type functionality)" in the yellow box only confused me more and I still have no idea what it means even after realizing that you can text thoughts to your service. 3.) The next block under the yellow block focuses more on features than benefits. I wouldn't lead with "SMS Diary Entires", "Memory Bank", and "Locked and Secure". Those don't mean much to me as the user. Try something like "Post from Anywhere", "Never Forget a Thought", and "We Keep Your Secrets" instead. 4.) Small typo under the Spare Change heading on the home page. You end with "Seriously just got nuts." I think you mean "just go nuts", right? 5.) Others may disagree, but I don't love the name. I think my biggest fear of using a service like this is that I'd be posting my most private thoughts out into the cloud, so a name that somehow let me know that you're storing my secrets as securely as possible would be a plus. Sorry I don't have a good name suggestion right now, but it's something to think about. Anyway, best of luck to you. I think if you keep tweaking and iterating you'll find something that people really dig. |
Regarding 1,2 and 3, I agree Ill look into changing this now.
5. I see what your saying but I think its possible to put these concerns to rest by building a strong brand based on things such as security. I don't think a new name is what should express that, I think thats the brands job.
