#3twitter bootstrap framework?
Indeed :) It's what made it all possible. I wouldn't have done it if I had to style all the forms and layouts from scratch.

#4Nicely executed, the video is well done. Will be interesting to see if real-life examples of viral content come out of this kid of model.
IMHO, users need to choose to share content themselves in order to go viral : it's not the link-posting (which is the basis of all twitter spam) that produces the virality, but the passion and wording of the people describing the content AFTER they've seen it that gets their friends to check it out.
Unrelated question : how does an article with 0 comments get to the top of HN ? :) Would love insight into the HN algorithm on this one.

#5Nice concept - it looks pretty similar to Paywithatweet.com which (I've heard) does actually get people tweeting about the product.
The drawback with these sorts of concepts is that it means the product is shared before people actually use it, which makes the endorsement seem a bit forced. Having said that, people do use it to get access so maybe that doesn't put many people off.
The design looks great by the way, I didn't notice it was Bootstrap until jaryd mentioned it.

#6I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of this. I want to see the content first, then maybe share with my network. Putting a "sharewall" like this will put a lot of people off.

#7This is pretty awesome, it's actually something I had an idea for a while back. My spin was a tad different.
If you are interested, I can email you my thoughts and you can decide to integrate them if you want.

Where did you get the video done? Especially in 72 hours!

#9The headline+video look great. I'm curious, though: why is the "Download for Free" button bigger and brighter than the "Create a Campaign" button (which is clearly more important)? And why does it say "Live Demo" if it's just a downloadable PDF?

Thank you. The concept is similar. I did not like the fact that customers would have to authorize the app to post to their Twitter or Facebook accounts in order to post the status update. Instead, I just use the Like boxes from each of the networks. I look at it as a less-intrusive approach. And, if they decide the offer wasn't good enough or they didn't like it, they could remove the post. But I understand your point. I'm just as curious to see what the user behavior is.
This was my first project with Bootstrap and it did not disappoint.
