#12I suggest different login options other than FB.
Agreed. I wish more sites could support OpenID.

#13Any sample links? I really don't want to watch a video.

#14The video format isn't supported. There is nothing on how to fix this. If I need a plugin to watch the instructional video to use the site I would make that plugin very easy to access. Just a though. Maybe it's just me though.

#15Along with the obvious question, how this is different from pinterest, I have one constructive comment, please don't use images for fonts, use a web-font, it will look better, load faster and will be a little bit more up to date generally. Also the video loads slowly and gets stuck, and has no narration, and doesn't really show what the product does.
Thanks for the feedback. You'll see web-fonts on the home page soon. We cheated with the images because I couldn't find a comparable web-font at the time.
We should have gone the route of hosting the video on YouTube instead of our server. Seems like my shoestring budget video production needs work too.
By the way I'm the cofounder of Collective.li and really appreciate the feedback.

Forgot to answer your obvious question. Pinterest is great for pictures and creating inspiration boards. We provide a richer experience regarding content collection e.g. you can clip articles, videos, content, tweets, facebook stories or take screenshots of pages along with traditional bookmarks using our Web Clipper

In addition to that you can organize all your content in collections that can themselves be organized into sub collections up to whatever depth you like.
And did I mention we do all the hard work of displaying all that content you collect in a nice magazine or grid or banner view?

Thanks again for the feedback.

#18I regret adding to the pile of negativity, but here's some suggests on how to improve it: 1. Either scale the page so that it doesn't take up enough space for a scroll bar to appear, or make it so that the photo gallery does not override scrolling. As it currently is, it is a troublesome user experience because I want to scroll down to see the rest of the page but sometimes my action causes the photo gallery to chang…
Hi I'm the co-founder of Collective.li. Let me say Thank You for the detailed feedback. Each one's a work item on my list for the weekend. I'm sorry you were not able to see the site after the loading symbol. Can you tell me what browser you were using? We support Chrome and Safari for now and Firefox is semi supported.
Thanks

#19Meh, only Facebook login. I never use facebook and I hate logging in with it, so its a no-go for me until they add more OAuth services, or their own login system. You would think its hard to add more than 1 OAuth, but its not, I absolutely hate how everyone only does facebook. Add a few others. I personally would prefer to use Twitter, others might prefer Google or Live. Its not hard to add them people.
We are working on our own login system because we realize we need to provide another way for people to log in to our site.
Thanks for the feedback
