Just a couple of design things: Black text on that blue background doesn't provide enough contrast for what's supposed to be your main headline. Also, I've come to expect buttons to have hover states, and yours don't.<p>As for the product itself, I'd like to see a better explanation of why I should pay $10 a month to see some basic stats about my posts' tweets/shares. Facebook Insights, for example, gives all that information to me for free.

# When I click "Try it for Free" on home page - get me to sign-up page already. Why are you showing plans? Make the 2nd CTA button "See Plans". When you have a chance to get me sign-up then do that, do the selling after I've seen your product.<p>(If I am already sold, I'd click on pricing &#38; plans).<p># Your 14-day free thing on every account is confusing. Either add it as another plan or just take me sign-up already.<p># When I add my blog I understand that the data is loading, but for how long? After 10 mins, all it has done is get my blog posts listed. No other data at all. How long do I need to wait? Show me a progress bar or tell me that you are processing it?<p># You might wanna check your date selector in Chrome in Windows 7. It just doesn't work for me.<p># When I select span of 2-3 months (did it using tabs since your calender thing was not responsive) the scale of days become messy. use smaller data points there?<p># Not sure if I'd wanna pay that much to see these stats which even tweet button and like button on my blog can show me. Guess you guys will be adding more stuff? Like overall ranking, what audience liked it or what?<p>I know you guys are going to get down to these points and might already know these points but then again.<p>If I were in your shoes, after reading my own feedback I'd think I hated the service. So let me give the other side of the coin, what I liked:<p>Though there are some design flaws but site is not falling apart and is good enough in terms of design. Again there are some basic flaws like black-on-blue but much better than what I am seeing nowadays.<p>After I figure out where to click to sign-up. I hardly remember the process of singing-up which is good! Means it was painless.<p>It's a nice concept, can take off if you build upon it. Perhaps till beta you wanna keep it free and once you know what they are really looking for - offer it for paid or something?<p>Keep at it

My biggest complain is there is no free plan. Acctually I saw later there is 14day free trial and if you can convert big enough % of users to paying customers you rock!<p>Can't tell you much of data value right now as everything is empty so far, but I could agree with rradu's post. Perhaps that can be a nice tool to track competition.

Looks like a really useful service. I run The Startup Foundry and would love to chat with you. Fill out this info and we will be in touch <a href="http://thestartupfoundry.com/tip-us/" rel="nofollow">http://thestartupfoundry.com/tip-us/</a>. Keep up the great work, I think it has real potential.

Who are you currently targeting as customer? It seems that your clients would be digital advertising and marketing studios who often manage a lot of social media channels for their clients. For them it would be a great service to see all these channels in one coherent interface.

Thanks for taking a look! I'll be posting a post on Monday on our blog about how it went from a weekend project to 7 months of work, but I'm really excited to show this off. I'm here to answer any questions or concerns you might have.

Curious: For firm, blogs = N/A, Do you mean unlimited, or that it isn't offered? Just curious as that came off unclear to me.<p>Agreed about the hover states, even if the button just has a light gradient change.

Hey Terry. Congrats on the launch. Some feedback:<p>1) The demo link needs to stand out a bit. I found myself looking for some kind of a demo and almost missed the link.<p>2) The demo page is stuck on loading in IE.<p>3) The boxes that appear on the right throughout the site needs some design tweak, though I can't put my finger on exactly what.<p>Best of luck with your startup!
