A demo would be nice, I'm not sure I understand the concept. Do I need to login with Facebook or Twitter to see how it works, or to get one of them (whatever they are)?

Yea, the front page definitely needs some work, you only need either Facebook or Twitter to get started, not both.

turns out I was misunderstanding, after logging in with Facebook I get the concept perfectly. Awesome idea, I think the frontpage is fine, I thought it was something a website owner added which confused me, my bad not yours!

Probably minor to most visitors, but stuck out to me: The screenshot is being taken of a localhost instance. Easy fix.

EDIT: Also, BrianPetro's example broke heavily for me on Mobile Safari when zooming in.
