Ok, how about: "A juwo is a list that can help you Save Time, Organize, and be More Productive." The para you asked is taken from juwo.com: A "Swiss Army knife" piece of software that gives more power to consumers to structure snippets of audio, video and text as a bullet list, to more easily index and annotate them, and to share the lists with others. Its benefits extend to multimedia as related to more enriching br…

For starters, eliminate "Swiss Army Knife." It's a bit too general and therefore distracting. Also eliminate the part about giving more power to consumers. When I visit your website, I'm not thinking of myself as "consumers." I'm just a guy who wants to get something done and wondering if maybe you can help. Take the rest of that sentence and separate it into one sentence for each idea.

I appreciate your help. What I am struggling with is, I am doing all the stuff - but people (at least on YC) dont get it: 1) links to 3 screenshots 2) simple cartoon diagrams with an analogy to shopping lists 3) a list of "what is in it for me" i.e. how juwo can help you. 4) links to demos for each of the above in 3). Isnt all this good enough?

ok, I am going to do something different. please stay tuned.

I don't believe that. You know all that text you already have? Just go through it and highlight the key points. Then out of those key points pick the ones that matter most to an ordinary person who just happened to stumble upon your website. Look at the WriteWith.com site: http://writewith.com/ One sentence explains it and the screenshot is nice too. But after the first sentence, it has a little list of things a user…

don't say it. period.

ok, removed it. Hope there are no legal hassles later.

Goladus, your snipshot example is too easy!

IMHO juwo is different and harder to encapsulate.

Wow, your site is a lot better! I still think a screen-shot would be useful. Flash demo even more so. But these are hard to do.

One easy fix: your click here links are so 1990s. Verb phrases are passe: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/noClickHere

top priority for me - port to other players. After that, video and flash demo.

There are links to 3 screenshots on the details page.

Thanks for the link, I am surprised it is by W3C!

I disagree with them. Will your grandma recognize a hyperlink intuitively?

My web page is for people like her (rhetorically speaking).
