2\. You suggested people "filter content by calculating influence". That's too

I have a few quick thoughts about why you're not getting many sign-ups.

The copy on the landing page makes sense, but it's still confusing in a way.
Maybe if you had a small diagram or brief description on how this is done,
people might be more interested.

But, if I was interested I would be weary of oauthing on twitter because I'm
still not sure what or how you do what you claim to.

The video should probably be less than 60 seconds and should answer what the
service does, how, why, for who in the first 20 seconds.

Stumbleupon traffic doesn't work well. People are simply browsing from one
site to the next looking for articles or funny cats and your bounce rate using
SU is probably 100%.

Google ads might work but you might be better off getting on
<http://betali.st> and <http://startupli.st> to get those early adopters.

Best of luck!

Just my 2 cents,

Your join button is pretty muted- it's gray, it's small, it's in the corner
and it's surrounded by the same blue color that sits in the background. Try
A/B testing by moving the join button to the center of your top banner, making
it big and green.
