Just curious how are you differentiating from http://www.twilio.com/ and their product http://www.twilio.com/openvbx ? It appears you are an expensive option in comparison. Good luck!

This IS Twilio and OpenVBX - hosted and dressed up a bit.

It's a nicely executed, simple idea for anyone who doesn't want to worry about an OpenVBX installation / updates / support etc.

I'm currently in Asia on a rather crappy Internet connection. Your 2MB front page took more than a minute to load. I'm glad I didn't load it on my pay-per-megabyte phone.

You might want to slim that down a bit.

Feedback: Positive: Great simple design with easy to understand concept. Good headline & good job of marketing the message on the front page.

Negative: Font looks crappy on Windows/Firefox. Gray color is too light. Skip the Olark box (adds clutter).

For a very brief period this submission was killed. So I was wondering what was the intention behind killing this one. But it got restored immediately.

Edit: Its deleted again. It looks like any other 'Review my app' kind of a submission. Anybody knows why this is killed?

Edit2: PG posted an explanation for why this story was killed. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1861577. According to it, 'Rate my startup' submissions must be from older accounts. Submitter of this story is just 5-day old.
