Excellent choice of music for the video.

It stood out from the usual ones by being high energy and compelling. I also like how the clapping was kept in at the end.

Impressed with beautiful minimalistic design!

I think this service could be very useful for me when transparent synchronization with mobile be ready. Evernote have not created correct two way mobile synchronization yet.

Four testimonial quotes, a short fluffy video, and a sign up box? That's your launch website? You're kidding, right?

Is it online only? Is it free? Forever or for a trial? ...

Why is this bad? It's a launch website.

And it worked because I signed up.

Why not label it as an outliner? It would help more technically-oriented people to quickly understand what it is.

Also, Dave Winer would be all over it. :)

You need to watch the video on their homepage at the 38 second mark. Brilliant.

I find it's the perfect combination. Watch the 45s video, and you know everything about the product. All that's left to do is enter an email address + password and you can start using the app.

Great site.

Annoyance from the homepage: I don't want to have to watch a video to figure out what you do. Watching a video for me is one step of engagement after I've figured out if I have some basic interest. If I can't establish that immediately, I'll just close the window. Videos can be great for more in depth info, but why not use the space taken up by "A better way to think" (which says nothing) to give a one-line description of what it the product is?
