Show HN: Simplified interface for old people.

I don't get it - most old people I know would have no interest in any of those apps...

However, if you're going for a general idea of "big icons/minimal description" then I think you might have something cool to start with.

I wanted Twitter so I clicked on the "t." but that's actually for Tumblr. Looks cool, but I'm not sure it accomplishes its goal.

I would think it would be much more useful to write out "Twitter - This is the site that lets you post short messages or read short messages posted by friends and celebrities"

I love this, have you tested it on any "old people"?

I'm an old people, and I didn't really know what it does. Links to those sites? Why would I go "here" to go "there?" And hovering to show the link destination is turned off (why?), so I didn't click on anything. Because I'm old, and paranoid.

By "old people" I imagine he means less tech-savvy, not literally just people of an older age. The fact you're on HN means you aren't his target demographic :)
