Hi HN, I've been working on <a href="http://shopialize.com" rel="nofollow">http://shopialize.com</a> application in the part-time since quite some time now. I'd really appreciate your feedback, critique comments, suggestions to improve, or new ideas to take this to the next level.<p>I'm not explaining what, why, and how aspects of this web-application here because I want to see how much of it is clear from the website itself. So please visit <a href="http://shopialize.com" rel="nofollow">http://shopialize.com</a>, explore different pages and let me know what's your first impression.<p>I understand that there are many social components that need to be developed for the viral distribution of this application like Facebook, OpenSocial and iPhone apps. But first I wanted to release the core idea and learn what exactly people want, so that I can continue building this application from their feedback.<p>Believe me, this is just the beginning - so please - pour in your thoughts and ideas about how you want to improve the social shopping experience on the web. You can also email me at aditya@shopialize.com.<p>Thanks, Aditya
I would suggest sucking in Twitters and or features Twitters where people said I just bought this or this was on sale ....could be on the frontpage and you would not have to sign up and the visitor would be viewing deals possibly with links left by those on Twitter.<p>good luck!
People who surf with NoScript will see a remarkably fugly site. Unusable.<p>Avoid gratuitous scripting; use it to improve a good experience, not as a requirement for any experience at all.
Where is your target market? If it's the US, then I'd suggest using American names in the images/collateral so that the target audience can connect with the message.
