Wow, difficult crowd. It reminds me of the initial Dropbox launch. Their pitch was a USB drive for the Internet, which was torn to pieces by this crowd.

I'm going to give my honest opinion. (No, I haven't given you a login email to try it, it's not that compelling) We've known how to put labels and little images together to make icons for decades, we're all familiar with the idea.
