Redo the audio on your video with a decent microphone! It sounds bad and the echo is distracting and makes it harder to listen to.
Edit: also, it sounds like you're shouting at me.

#32An email I received this morning:
"Hope all is well. Would you guys mind upvoting this? This is my new company:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1013389
Best, - Emil Gilliam"
Surely begging emails like this are an improper use if the voting system.

It's pretty much an inevitable use of the voting system.

Yes, there's nothing you can do to prevent people from doing this, but I notice that on other voting based news sites such gaming has reduced the quality.

I think asking for upvoting is not fair but I seriously don't know if you sharing this is really okay.

#36My knee jerk reaction was - fight or flee? As others have pointed out if I don't see what the page is about almost immediately I just close it. When skimming through the site the only thing I see is boring business talk which quite frankly bores the hell out of me.
Another thing I noticed on my second visit was how absolutely crammed it was. There are links everywhere, which is fine, but they're screaming 'Hey Look at Me!' and the next 'No Look at Me!' and so on. A clean page goes a long way for me but yours went the other way I'm afraid.

I think it's ok to call astroturfers out, because too much of that sort of thing goes on.

#38Maybe I'm dense, but what is it? A service, a product, a what? Does it replace Salesforce?
it basically records relevant sales emails into salesforce leads and contact records so you know exactly who's been contacted and who hasn't.
So it looks at emails and sorts them into a pile of people to contact and people to follow up with?

#39I'd reword that "sales scheduling, email to crm syncing, customer followups" like this:
Schedule sales Sync email to CRM Follow up with customers
I think bullets would be good too, because I thought it was "sales scheduling email to CRM, syncing customer followups" or something like that. It was confusing.

#40Just had another look after first looking at it a few hours ago. Wow! what a difference.
Changes I noticed: * Looks far less cluttered * Video now works for me (didn't work previously) * minor text/layout changes
All in all looks much improved. The video explains things much better then the page itself, I think, although I'm not exactly target audience.
Good luck :)
