Feedback on Startup: Videoly - simple video email site

Votes without feedback are useless in this sort of thing, so let me give you my thoughts.<p>1) Why is the Terms page showing the terms in a flash scroll box? My main annoyance is that when I use the wheel on my mouse the terms won't scroll. Minor, but an annoyance. 1.a) Why do you separate Privacy and Terms with Help in between? Again, a nitpick but it's something I noticed.<p>2) Awesome logo! The camera with envelope on the side is perfect. The site seems kind of bland in colors (compared to say Vimeo)<p>3) Why no flash video tour on the homepage? As a new user, I don't understand why your site is worth joining when I'm already on Youtube and Vimeo.<p>Even though I have nitpicks and criticisms and only one applause, I do like your site, the simplicity of it, and the system. It looks good and I'll be curious to see how you do.

There is not much to play around with on your webite, and my laptop is 4 years old so I don't have an onboard webcam -<p>BUT -<p>I think the concept is extremely useful for the non-tech savvy general public. You are essentially making it ridiculously easy for someone to create a "video" post (so long as they have an onboard webcam that is)<p>I can see this concept being EXTREMELY useful for consumer oriented online services. For example wordpress and other CMS where you need a very non-tech way to create media on the internet. Think if it like tinymce (html editor) for video.<p>I would love to see your product marketed this way as I would have a real use for this.

Why not have a real video on the front page explaining what your website is?

Here's my navigation feedback: (some of this may be repeats)<p>- The front image which looks like a video but isn't is confusing. I see you already mentioned on replacing that<p>- When I click "Send Message Now" I get taken to a screen which is really easy, but how do I go back? Clicking the logo to go back is confusing. Just a small "Go Back" link on the bottom right would do<p>Apart from that not much to the site. Love the colours and the logo, and the idea is pretty sound too .. :)

Why am I redirected to /stage/index.html with nothing on the page except a confusing error message stating that I'm trying to install adobe flash player on an unsupported OS?

I liked the simplicity of it, and the fact it "just worked" with my webcam.
