Ask HN: Rate my Startup www.birdpie.com (Updated)

I always wondered when I saw 'Tweet This' button on popular blogs for sharing bookmarks and links. However there was no easy way to go back and search/manage the bookmarks tweeted by you. We have developed an application www.birdpie.com which stores all of the URLs (Web Links) you have entered on Twitter as bookmarks, so you can refer to them at a later date. The application takes care of minified urls to avoid duplication and pulls information from the url to auto-tag and assign a proper title. Some features are pending (like search bookmarks with keywords, etc) but they will be pushed soon.

I'd love to have feedback on its features, appearance or improvements.

Thanks!

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.

From the landing page I have no idea what the site is about, so I click 'About'... and I still have no idea. From the tag I can see this isn't something for which I am the target audience. Seems odd to not have that somewhere on the page.

I dunno. What do you have against putting a blurb on your home page that tells what the site is for?

[update: Oh, it's not the home page. But still, I can't tell what this is for, and I should be able to, even on a sub-page.

'Slices' - what? I have been thinking about Slicehost lately, and the first link mentions Ruby, which I don't know. So when I land on this link you have me thinking that maybe the site is a way for Ruby users to manage their slices on Slicehost.

The About page should definitely tell what the site is about. And the help pages are not loading for me.

If you want to do a tweeted-link application, you should add a bit more value - maybe have thumbnails of the destination site, or expand bit.ly/etc. URLs (while keeping the bit.ly one too).

If someone uses bit.ly to shorten every URL they tweet, bit.ly stores the URLs for them already, so...]

You should put this explanation somewhere on your website.
