The first (and biggest) problem is that when I land on the home page I have no idea what the service is supposed to do.

The problem remains even after you click "about." :(

Edit to add: Oh -- the submitted link is -not- to the home page, but rather a subpage.

Hi coffeemug, that was a mistake. We have corrected about page with the introduction now.

I think he means that the first sentence on the about page should actually be on the front page.

I felt the same. The worst part was that I actually think your product is useful, even though I'm not a twitter user.

Don't hide your best selling point on some other page!

I think this was an accident. The true homepage to this site is: http://www.birdpie.com/ and the submitted link is http://www.birdpie.com/railsbob which points to a user's page. The only way to truly fix this submission would be to edit the URL.

ah sorry.
