It is still under development but major part of MVP is done. It should be ready in a week. I guess I would be able to show it to HN at end of this month to get feedback.

Way to go! Can you give us a general idea of the concept, i.e. "It's _________ for ________."?

Your navigation is a little messed up. The "Interactwive" link looks like it just goes to "#" which means I can't get back to the home page. Also, once I go to the demo page the "Register" and "Contact" link disappear. It looks pretty cool other than that though.
Thanks, great feedback! I'll see about fixing these up shortly :)

Thank you. Thanks to facebook, online bartering may just be a way to reduce how much we consume. Atleast that's the guiding philosophy.

Like the app concept - think it's too dear for the average PR blogger to get behind and use. But very cool idea!

It might be worth putting an example of a competition on the homepage, preferably somewhere up at the top. I kept scanning around trying to figure out what "Twitter competitions" even meant, but just found the phrase used without ever really being explained. It made sense after I thought about it, but to get there was a little bit frustrating.
