Interesting. Why did you decide to offer different countries and different websites?

Can I ask where you are based? I've been thinking about working on something like this for the UK.

Because it doesn't take too much time to add the support of different countries.

I am in the U.S. right, so probably the main users will be us-based.

I have only one thing to say. This is awesome, and I think it could really turn into something. Please keep this up.

Seriously, very cool, how easy/difficult was it to create the Pinterest-like layout? Is that HTML 5?
