A comment on Ask HN: What elements can I add to my website to make it more social?.

The site is amazingly beautiful. But I don't immediately get what the point is. I do have a MySpace and Facebook account but rarely log in. I don't have a twitter account. So maybe I am just not the target audience. But I am wondering if some kind of info (on the front page) about what you can do with this would help? (Or maybe I'm the only twit who just can't figure it out -- I also had difficulty adjusting to the spare design of HN and your site is similarly clean-lined and elegant-looking.)

From the feedback I've got so far it looks like you're not the only one. I'll definitely be addin some better info on the front page to let people know what it's about and how to sign up etc.

And perhaps a Snapfinch sign up for people without other social accounts?

Yes, a Snapfinch sign up would be great. I would be more likely to sign up for it if I don't have to first do some other social account. It's not like I haven't tried others out, but they just don't seem to click with me.
