I would make the last point number 1 on your site. Before I care about how to sign up, I want to know what on earth its for. Once I waded through all the different ways of interacting with tweeght (which I'd never do in a real site, but I did here), and found out what the idea was, I thought it was really cool. The voting is whats important in my mind, since you can already retweet and quote people with vanilla twitt…

Thanks for the input. I'll review it and see how effective it looks.

1) I might find it more useful if it was limited to tweets from the people I follow or where the votes were from people I follow. I know that is much more difficult data and that it requires much greater adoption to be viable. But I think that would make it useful for me. (you could also use favorites as votes if you can get the data). 2) The design and performance seemed fine. The icons seem less harsh on twitter.co…

Thanks for your inputs.

1. For this suggestion, I'll need your Twitter login details. Who you are on Twitter. But right now there is negative mindset about giving Twitter account details. So I started with minimal requirements on user side.

I don't understand the point of the app, is it just a place to vote on insightful tweets? Your app needs to tell me somewhere prominent why I should use it and what benefit I will get from using it.

Lot of people share very insightful, thoughtful and inspirational tweets. Unless we are on Twitter for 24x7 it's impossible to follow such great tweets in real time. The search.twitter.com is good for people who can afford real time monitoring of tweets.

But for the rest of us, it's good to check good tweets voted by other users just few times in a day. That's the purpose of Tweeght - to learn from these insightful tweets. Hope it is clear now.

Why do people use mispellings for their domain names? It's not a good idea.

In this case, I actually find the baroque "misspelling" charming. It's like Ben Franklin is spelling the word "tweet." The overwrought spelling fits the tone of the site: a little more weight is expected here than in the usual Twitter message.

I like the idea, but I don't think you need the big explanation box at the top. You built a very intuitive site.

The only thing that needs an explanation is how to post. So I suggest having a button that says "post" and when it's pressed, show the different methods.

i like the layout and design, esp the color scheme, you managed to pull off the brown.

thanks! appreciate it. Brown represents classic theme. It doesn't represent modern outlook. So wanted to have brown theme for quotes/thoughts related site.
