I just opened up my first photo account with flickr and it was amazingly easy to upload several hundred photos from a trip to the botanical gardens and then email the series to friends. It's so simple even my grandmother can use it. I'd advise you to work on your copywriting. With all the free photo hosting sites out there already I don't think people care about average number of photos times x number of cents to hos…

I'd give away more invites here as well, but the last time I did, two people I invited didn't even bother to sign up. You guys suck.

I would appreciate one. Their front page is gorgeous and I would like to see what AJAX I can learn/rip off the rest.

EDIT: Turns out it's one invite. See reply. If you haven't seen iminlikewithyou.com, you're missing out. Their AJAX-rich interface is definitely slick. Lucky for you kind souls post here offering invites for nothing. Unlucky for you I'm not one of them. This time you have to work for it. I want you to go through the demo on ourdoings.com and give useful feedback. If more than five people give feedback I'll pick the f…

Site feedback? First, make the text larger. Especially the demo/tutorial and change it to say, "Test drive!" or "Try it out!" or something attention grabbing like that. You could put the "What makes it great" text on the front-page. Much more helpful to users if they know what the site's about.

In the demo, the text should be larger.

I'm also not sure what to do with photos. Can you link them to entries?

You need to make a link that says "Home". I don't know which is the main page that I'm supposed to be looking at...edit: Maybe make a main page that is just those links you have in the bar above with a short summary of what you do on that page.

This is a neat idea though and it is quick and simple.

Having seen only 5-invite offers posted here, when I saw the "we just gave you some invitation codes" message I thought I would have five. In fact I just got one. Falseprophet, did anybody else give you an invite? If not you should get it.

Good idea. I have a bunch of iilwy invites that could use good homes. Problem is my site hasn't launched yet. but ahh... check out my splash page and tell me if you like the logo/color scheme :) www.omnisio.com First 3 replies get invites. R

would really appreciate one. codebutterfly+gmail.com

Looks good to me. But then again, the choice of colors and sleekness of logo all depends on your target audience. So saying "its sweet" doesn't really make much sense as of now.But again, thats my first impression.

I like your color scheme and your design a lot. There is nothing bad about it, except perhaps giving the text in the box more room to breathe. This must be a trick question, because the design is so good.

So please send me an invite. :) (hoan@ton-that.org)

Thanks for the feedback on simplicity. That's the main thing I'm working on. It started out as something for me, and I'm massaging it into something for everybody.

About your botanical garden photos -- I don't expect to compete with flickr for that kind of situation, where several hundred photos are from one event and thus don't really need organizing. Several hundred photos that could be organized for you by date is the kind of need I address.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but I'll tell you anyway. The orange trim around the cloud edge is OK. But the orange for the bottom two-thirds of the page is way too over-powering and I'd leave the site just to give my eyes a rest.

Hey, I think I'm third -- ralph@inputplus.co.uk -- thanks.
