#2Just a thought - is there some reason you can't autodetect timezone information with js? (new Date().getTimezoneOffset())

#3That's a really tough url/name.

#4Google groups for feedback? Really? You have to make it easier than that.

#5I'm not sure what the value added is. It seems like it's a social calendar yet there's a note saying you don't have to share it if you don't want to so I'm confused.

#6That's a really tough url/name.
Agreed. I like how some companies get around the long name problem. The http://regionalhelpwanted.com/ sites all have the url http://[regionalname]helpwanted.com/ and the tag-line "long name... amazing results". Even if it's a longer name, it's memorable if you hear a radio ad.
Of course, everyone wants to be a household name like flickr and all.

#7Bug: clicked on facebook icon, got this:
"{ "error": { "type": "OAuthException", "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration." } }"
(Using Opera 11.01)

#8What's up with the growing blue thingy (click anywhere)? It causes the form to shift downward, and I don't get the point at all.
Also, "sign-in or signin using..." is awkward. Finally, the drop-shadow and strike-through (soc-ia-l) is a bit much.

#9Your description text needs help, particularly the first sentence:
Socl is the social calendar and to-do list. Your calendar events will be posted to your social world(only if you wish)
1. Socl is not the social calendar, it is a social calendar. I don't know why the "-ial" in social has a strikethrough. 2. You need a space between the end of "world" and the beginning of the parenthesis. 3. Socl is in its early stage - something like a pre-alpha. Wait, "something like" pre-alpha? I think you mean "pre-alpha", right? It would be much more succinct and better in every way to simply say, "Socl is in pre-alpha release" or, alternatively, "Socl is pre-alpha."

Hm. socasion, socimark, evencial, daycial, plancial. All open com's. Not awesome, but that just took a moment. Not having a .com is an unnecessary barrier.
