When I go to peoples websites I always ask my self "Would I use this?". At first I was like "nah" but by the end of the video I was "hmm yeah let me sign up!". It's a shame you're giving this away.

I completely agree. As much as I hate videos that play automatically, your intro was inoffensive enough that I listened until it got interesting. On a side note, why do you have invite only on? Best of luck whichever way you go with your startup. Maybe you just need a short holiday to sleep on it...

The site is not completely ready and we got stuck into that non-sense of making everything perfect before we opened it.

okay this must not be true but at first, it looks like you sent it to HN and other sites so people go online, sign up to browse around(greed for buy) and this will spread the concept, make it famous and then you might decide to keep it with you or give it to your wife or something. I think such silly things. I am sorry.

Just so you guys (or potential buyers) know: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/taketake.com

How and from what are those scores derived? I tested this by entering the address of my former blog. It ranked high in "vendor trustworthiness" even though there is no commercial aspect to the site at all. It has a high child safety rating even though some of those posts contain very strong language. Am I mistaken or is MyWOT useless?

Ratings come from users of the WOT browser extensions. Users are able to rate sites based on their personal experience with them. Sites with poor reputation yield warnings from the extension upon later visits.

If no one has rated you, your rating will stay positive, or neutral, until someone does.
