| (First off, Im not a big early adapter or regular web 2.0 site user. So some of these things may not be relevant if you are going for a tech savvy audience) So immediately I think "Four Square". I see you arent, but that sounds like it'll be your biggest competitor. How you plan to get users on board? B2B? B2C? Little things:
1) I like the map where I get to click on the bubbles of numbers to a point. But once I zoom in on San Francisco, its a little weird to still have bubbles over neighborhoods. At that point I'd rather just see a list of the top places on the bottom, with pointers ala Google that change as I scan through the list. 1.a) ah, and when I got too close, all the bubbles just go away. How do I actually find the places? I thought it would be through the map... 2) The white check is a little confusing for "I want to see it" Can it be a totally different icon? 3) Ah, was worried I would have to remember the address of the place I added. Love that you have ACCURATE suggestions. :) 4) Rating with the stars is a bit tricky. I love that you do %, but I was momentarily confused when it scanned back down even after I clicked. 5) Super easy to use, congrats. Your UI is clear and concise - I was able to post with ease. 6) Do you have a phone app? In the works? That seems like it would be your most important thing. I would never think to do this sitting at home, but I would definitely do it while just leaving a restaurant, or sitting in a park with friends. |
1.a) Ah, that's probably a bug.
2) Good point.
3 & 5) Thanks :-)
4) Ah, right. I can see how that could be confusing.
6) We have an iPhone app in the works. The site was actually built as a backend for the iPhone app... We're both ex-Apple Cocoa programmers, so hopefully that will be our strong point. ;)
