Nitpick: make a PNG logo from the original and replace your JPEG - it is your brand, after all. (the fuzz is annoying, and stands out against an otherwise very clean site)

#42You should have another option for a single brand. Currently I only want to monitor one brand, and wouldn't use the extra 2 the blogger option provides. Furthermore, this discourages me from signing up because I feel that after 30 days I would be paying for something that I'm not using.
Re: Ask HN: Review our startup - MightyBrand.com
#43Definitely interested in this and would become a paying subscriber, if: 1. prices were lower 2. it was more comprehensive(went through tinyurls for your domain, scanned other social websites)
Great to hear. A couple quick questions: 1. What's the price point that you'd be willing to pay for? What would expect for that price, in terms of number of brands tracked and number of users on your account? 2. Can you explain the tinyurls thing a bit more? What other social networks would you like to see added? (we're working on a long list right now, btw) Thanks!
re (2) I imagine he means that your application followed through shortened-URLs to see if they point through to the client's brand and monitor that--it comes up a lot in Twitter, for example.

#44* I greatly appreciate that the 30-day trial doesn't require a credit card. Bravo! Finally someone gets that right. * Why do you start at 3 brands? I'm guessing that there are enough users that would like to monitor a single brand maybe for $12-$14/mo? * The plan pricing isn't good. The Big Shot plan costs $100 for 10 brands/users while the Blogger plan costs $19 for 3 brands/users. Why shouldn't I just get 4 Blogger…
"I greatly appreciate that the 30-day trial doesn't require a credit card. Bravo! Finally someone gets that right." I'm torn between this. On the one hand, it's less friction for the user to sign up... but then you wind up bugging the user later on. I feel like it's better to just get all of the "administrative non-sense" out of the way at the start. Also, if they're willing to give you their credit card (even if you…
Why feel anything? Test both approaches and see which converts better.
Let the data determine the best course of action.
Re: Ask HN: Review our startup - MightyBrand.com
#45In your FAQ you have the question: Why would I need something like this? People 'love' to feel like someone is listening. Millions of people are talking online about you, your competitors, and your market space. If you're not listening and effectively communicating with them, you're missing a great opportunity for customer support and acquisition. From a sales perspective, I think this is a bad approach. It's a defen…
Really appreciate the feedback. Sounds like we need to step back and go through the copy and marketing approach with a critical eye after spending so much time mired in the code. Thanks again!

#46Awesome product, we (FreshBooks) may even end up using it. But it is going to be kinda cheap for us, all we need is the blogger package. This is sillly. We are a 30 employee company, we could afford to pay much more. You should up your prices for guys like us, or (somehow) charge on some other metric. Awesome site - it is totally slick.
Based on a lot of feedback about our pricing model, we're going to rethink a few things. Really appreciate your positive feedback!

#47With a name like MightyBrand, while I think you've got a solid design already, it just doesn't come across to me as something bold enough to sport the name 'MightyBrand'. I'd look to add bold, heavy, red coloring rather than orange. The white feels clean, but it also feels a bit too open. Also, in terms of conversions, placing the icons with links to the social sites themselves will drive some traffic away. Instead,…
Second. Your name stands out from other websites, but the design does not. I would strongly suggest less a "Web 2.0" look. By that I mean lose the orange/grey color scheme, silly white gradiated buttons, position:absolute feedback link. A good reference would be design that utilize a more traditional poster-like typography, rather than other websites. This might be helpful: http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/20-websi…
Geez...those are some sweet designs. We're sans designer at the moment, but we'll see if we can dredge some inspiration from stuff like this. Thanks!

Yeah, we're hearing more and more that our pricing plan isn't ideal. We're considering adding a "solo" plan that allows one user to track one brand at a lower price point. Thanks for the feedback!
Re: Ask HN: Review our startup - MightyBrand.com
#49three things. 1. The "keyword" concept can be better explained. I wasn't sure what to put there during registration. It was only after I saw it in action, and saw that it was actually asking for specific search terms, that I understood. Then I went back in and changed the keywords for my brand to specific terms I wanted to tack, rather than words that described my business. 2. When I see my latest results, I want som…
New pricing model: we add a refresh button, connect it to TipJoy, and charge you 10 cents per click :-)
Just kidding...all your feedback is helpful and I've added it to the list (which is growing at an alarming rate). In particular, we're going to completely overhaul the "add brand" page to make it more clear and give you sample results as you're filling out the form so you can see what to expect.
