Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the bugs you mentioned. The advantage is, it helps you create a complete profile with full-fledged Photostream, Videostream and profile info, unlike tumblr and blogger.
What do you mean by "Complete profile"? What is that?
If you look at my Sprred - http://kuldeep.sprred.com, you'll get the brief idea and also see how its different than tumblr/blogger

#14Writing: "The easiest way to share your entire content." is not a good sentence. Better option: "The easiest way to share all your content." From a glance, I don't understand what the product does. From reading the boxes below, I kind of get that I can post by email, and some other stuff, but I still don't really get it. "More than a blog" -> so you provide a blog service with easy crossposting? I'm trying to underst…
These are my complaints too. I spent three seconds on the page before going back because I already know about a lot of "autoblogging" service and have no interest in them, and from what I read, that's all I think your product does.
If it does something else or if it does something better, you should be explicit about it. I want to know right away, I don't want to be met with marketing-speak about how easy it is to "share my entire content", which is a very amorphous task. A better thing to say in that prime real estate would be "Email your content, see it on web page", or whatever it is you do, and then have the line about ease in a tertiary position somewhere, like a tagline instead of the main point of the thing.

I really like the look of your Sprred, however it's not loading very quickly. What language and hosting setup are you running?

Painfully slow here too - Firefox 3.6.9 (Firebug installed).
[The pages seem OK-ish but the images are very slow]

May be it just me, but it's not that unclear what service is. It's your Blog+Photostream+Videostream. It might be confusing cause its something of a new concept and you seem to have caught the usual/known features like Autoposting and email posting, but that's not where we defferentiate ourseleves.

#19Well at least for me it was quite obvious what the site is all about without much effort. Good luck!

nginx-php-mysql-ec2-s3
Are you doing a lot of on-the-fly processing of the images? Seems like they're the reason the site is slow. I think things could be improved with better caching (server and client side with http headers).
