Hi Clossit - A couple of thoughts:
1 - Your blog post does a much better job at explaining what your website does than your actual home page. 2 - For a fashion blog I would have expected tons of pictu…

Great work - definitely going to give it a try. Also - thank you for not scaring the living day lights out of me by saying something like if you don't use our web app security scanner now - people wi…

Is this like http://artcards.cc/ but for all kinds of art events? Per shanelja's comment - put a 1 sentence description of what your site does. I looked up new york and found some interesting even…

To make it easier to ask for favors - it would be helpful to know whom to ask for favors as well as what specifically to ask. The issue with making it more socially acceptable is that people normally…

I like the pen drop effect. It might be worth detecting the browser as when I read the "put your finger on the screen" my hand actually moved to my laptop screen. Then I realized it was probably for…

I like where it's going, though didn't find relevant topics that I like in there. If you were looking to jump start it, perhaps looking at the "programming collective intelligence" examples with delic…

In addition to facebook, it would be helpful to have twitter, linkedin, etc involved. Also, if I belong to meetup, figure out what groups I like where I am and show me the meetups / events that are h…

Uncertainty is not helpful. If you subscribe to the YC style of startup landing pages (look at almost all YC companies), it is exceedingly clear what the website does in one sentence. Examples: Airbn…

You can know through the domain name. Then when it loads up, the tag line is "Making Apartment Hunting Suck Less" with google maps right behind it. To me that's pretty clear that it will tell me wha…

In order to find a good mentor you need to know what you need to be mentored on - that is, what do you want to get out of the relationship? As you are starting a startup you can possibly find a mento…

would love to know the distribution of money donated. is it a bunch of "1 beer donations" or is it more of a power law?

You should raise the price or multiply everything by a factor of at least 10 to 100. http://teamtreehouse.com/ just raise 4.75million dollars around the sandbox you are playing in and they have 10k…

If it's 3 people contributing 100% of their time to the project then it should be 33% for each. If you don't think they will contribute enough to the project for their 33% then perhaps you should be …
