I've debated this through-out the development process. Obviously the unique feature here is the private analytics data, and making some cligs public might confuse things. It's something definitely on my mind but not sure how to deal with it.
I would do it for sure. Most people probably wouldn't care about the links traffic being public, but they will be turned off by a registration process.

#33Please don't take this the wrong way -- but you need a designer to go over your site. There are font inconsistencies, weird graphics, and the color scheme doesnt work well in its current implementation. I've been guilty of this as well, but your site would be better without any graphics (just text/css) than with poor graphics. Some other notes: - Less Is More. You dont need that much text on the homepage. It would be…
Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely look into fixing the design given your comments and the comments elswhere, perhaps using crowdspring as suggested. Not validating is not bad. It's not essential either. Take google.com for example. And the delicious tags are not "stolen" but are the delicious.com badge. Closing accounts: didn't think of that, but easy enough to add.

Yeah, so your message is URL Shortener + Analytics. Two nice rounded image headers, one for each, large ENTER URL HERE box, prompt for registration on entering the URL. What's so complicated? this is going to sound harsh, but looking at your site, I couldn't care less. I go to a lot of sites, regularly share URLs with people, I'm your target audience, and I'm not interested. It's overwought. It's not that your frontp…
