Social twist to calendar+todo list - http://www.socl.in/ A few good social features - still in very alpha stage, your comments are welcome.

You badly need a screencast or image-slideshow on there - show, not tell!<p>I had to force myself to read through that text-pitch - under normal conditions I'd have closed the tab after the first 1-2 sentences. Partly because it's not well written and partly due to the fancy font that makes it hard to read.

Your description text needs help, particularly the first sentence:<p><i>Socl is the social calendar and to-do list. Your calendar events will be posted to your social world(only if you wish)</i><p>1. Socl is not <i>the</i> social calendar, it is <i>a</i> social calendar. I don't know why the "-ial" in <i>social</i> has a strikethrough. 2. You need a space between the end of "world" and the beginning of the parenthesis. 3. <i>Socl is in its early stage - something like a pre-alpha.</i> Wait, "something like" pre-alpha? I think you mean "pre-alpha", right? It would be much more succinct and better in every way to simply say, "Socl is in pre-alpha release" or, alternatively, "Socl is pre-alpha."

Google groups for feedback? Really? You have to make it easier than that.

What's up with the growing blue thingy (click anywhere)? It causes the form to shift downward, and I don't get the point at all.<p>Also, "sign-in or signin using..." is awkward. Finally, the drop-shadow and strike-through (soc-ia-l) is a bit much.

Just signed up. Neat application. I like the colors.<p>1. The font makes things hard to read. Have a clear font.<p>2. When I say "Next Wednesday" in the Event Time, it calculates the date for me, which is neat. But when you show the list of events, you show the date and not "Next Wednesday" -- which is the way I remember it.<p>3. An option for DD/MM/YYYY date format would help.<p>4. If I say "Next Wednesday", you'll assume "At around 12.00PM". I think you should just say "Next Wednesday", and show timing info only if the user has entered it explicitly

Just a thought - is there some reason you can't autodetect timezone information with js? (new Date().getTimezoneOffset())

Please have a way to follow people like on twitter. People want to know where their idols (the kind of people you follow on Twitter) are going to be. Expose your thoughts on twitter; expose your social geo info on socl.in.

I'm not sure what the value added is. It seems like it's a social calendar yet there's a note saying you don't have to share it if you don't want to so I'm confused.
