I think that the design works well. How's traction so far?
We've only been live a couple of weeks, and it's the main holiday time (summer) over here, so we'll see in the New Year.
People seem to either "get it" and love it, or dismiss it as "it'll never work". We take the polarization as a positive.
EDIT: oh, and thanks for the design comments - I'll pass those on (I'm the tech guy)
