Earlier quoted context omitted.
You may want to include a link to the "how it works" section from http://trendly.com/preview/ . When I went to the site, I clicked "try it now" before I read to the bottom of the page, and once I got there, I didn't want to sign in. Maybe say something like "Not ready yet? See how it works" or something like that.
Agreed. Will do.

#16So here's the thing: I'm not going to give you my Google Analytics until you show me a compelling reason to. "We track Google Analytics" doesn't mean anything to me, an intrigued audience, yet skeptical of and resistant to just installing shit willy-nilly. Install it on the company blog or something.

#17I found the sign in process quick and painless--sign into Gmail, agree to grant access, and now sit anxiously awaiting my email of data. The "how it works" section that I was shown directly afterwards was also very clear. As I read the content and followed along with the screenshots, it all just made perfect sense. All in all, great job!

#18A hint of pricing would be nice, too, though I can understand you may just be in the collecting-feedback, sending-feelers stage.

#19You should make better use of modifiers which produce contrast and a hierarchy of importance, such as text size and color. I imagine this isn't your final homepage, but having it start off more intuitive couldn't hurt :)

#20Any chance of getting a demo like Dabble's? I assume you did this one in Seaside as well? Every time I see a project you've done it makes me want to fire up a Smalltalk image and try it out again.
This project has nontrivial pieces written in Squeak, Java, Ruby, and Javascript. The site has a dash of PHP.
