That's a great idea. I think it might be confusing for people at first, but somehow explaining how it's better will be very useful.

>- sell me on why this beats email

Centralised site. Communicate without email clutter. Easier to follow a site and receive regular email updates. It's similar reason that it's better to use Facebook than emailing your friends. Thanks for reminding us why we need to make this clear.

>- I like how quickly you can jump in and check it out

Great to hear. That's the kind of simplicity we're looking for.

>- why not auto-capitalize family name?

I'll add that.

>- do you really need time zone? if so, perhaps you could default via geo ip?

I was thinking the same, to try to assume via Geo IP. I'll look into it, but last time I checked, it was an insane amount of money to license.

>- the "keep my page" button is cut off in ffx 3

Ah, okay. I'll resolve that.

>- the "sharethis" option doesn't really make sense if you're trying to obfuscate these URLs...

Good point - we'll be removing those.

>- having the "post something" options as radio buttons seems kind of odd

We thought this would be a familiar user interface element for people to understand. Perhaps it's not – I'll think about what could potentially replace it.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback! Cheers and happy holidays.
