Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe if they have a blank meta description HTML tag?

Yeah, we didn't right a meta tag... On the to do list.

Yes, you need to make that "Like" convert to a nice meta tag and full description, with the trollface thumbnail.

Heads up: remove the comma between "are friends" and "with everyone."

I think they wanted to add it for a dramatic pause. Maybe an ellipsis would work better. "As soon as you start using TrollBlock you are friends... with everyone."

This reminds me of the Professional where Gary Oldman says "Bring me everyone. EVERYONE." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB_deAcoC2I

I think it would be funny if you started out blocked by everyone since you are the owner, sort of a joke at Tom from Myspace. And that's an interested idea, how do you think user growth will affect this model?

No idea. We are playing with it and figure it out.

Maybe you can get an initial block of 100 people to follow and have a "Give me 100 new friends" button which gives the user another 100 random people to follow.

I see a list of "Most disliked users" and "Most blocked users" once I'm logged in. That seems like this is going to be a competition to be blocked with people intentionally acting like trolls. I wouldn't want to spend time on the site if that's what ends up happening.

Then a hyphen would be better:

"As soon as you start using TrollBlock you are friends - with everyone."
