First off, great design and layout, very clean and pretty too. It compliments twitter well. However, it's not clear to me what the service does. The first feature listed on the 'what you get page' says: PubliciTweet is a social media marketing tool that helps you leverage those followers with unique campaigns and tools to track your success.

This works more as an opening tagline and might be better suited to the homepage. From the homepage, I get the idea that PubliciTweet is a service where I can queue a series of tweets at various intervals . PubliciTweet then tracks and graphs which tweets by measuring clickthroughs perhaps. When I click 'learn more' - I don't learn actually learn any more. Maybe an in depth description could go here explaining the guts of it or a video demo.

Thanks! I've been wanting to do a video demo. That's probably one of the upcoming changes to the site. I agree that the 'learn more' page is probably too wordy as well. Hoped that the bullet points would help clearly define what the service does..but will add more clarity on the home page.

Just to be clear, I think the 'learn more' page is not wordy enough. I think you should elaborate more on what the service does. There is more info on the home page than the 'learn more' page.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I often shy away from providing too much verbosity in terms of text. Sometimes I think people's eyes glaze over quickly. Good to know you would like to find out more about the service and are willing to read about it. Can definitely expand the learn more section.

I agree with this poster - it looks great, like something I'd want to use, but I read the whole landing page and still didn't know what I could use it for.

Wow, that's bad! Thanks for the feedback. I was pretty focused on making the home page short and to the point. Guess it could use a bit of rework though. Good comments. :)
