I just went to the site and looked at it.

Your demo is confusing and not very communicative to me. Even after seeing it I couldn't figure out what you were trying to communicate with it.

I think you'd do better to have a video demo showing a specific use case, and explaining better how it works.

Also, Facebook sdk is complaining about an invalid app id.

BTW -- I am on a mac using chrome on the site, if that helps as far as the demo experience.

No, I don't want video. Tell it to me in simple words and pictures.

I have two complaints about video: 1) I don't want to enable JavaScript or use Flash. Most video fails one of those. 2) I don't want to spend the time to watch a video. Tell me in words and pictures, in less than a minute. I.e. an "elevator pitch".

I'm absolutely astonished at how many companies have horrible websites. In many cases I can go to Wikipedia and learn much more about a company, much faster, than from that company's website.

Major FAIL!

Understood. You're right, a video is definitely better than the current demo for showing how it works. I'll look into the Facebook problem too. Seamed to work fine. Thanks a lot for the input!
