Just wanted to let someone know that after I press "Create" I get an overlay that says "Connecting" and it appears to be stuck there, since it never connects. Developer console has an error "Failed to load resource" on this URL http://www.recitethis.com:8901/socket.io/1/?t=1355166704000 My quote was "I dream beyond my means"

Chrome Version 23.0.1271.95

Ahh, no it looks like I can't. I think it is my company's web filter. They do block out a fair number of ports.

For me, nothing at all seems to happen no matter what I click on, after I enter a quote in the box; there's no error message though.

Well, If I click on "find a quote" it does take me to a page of quotes; clicking on anyone just takes me back to the home page, with any message I entered still in place.

Not even sure what this is supposed to be showing off (other than dodgy site programming)...
