Yeah, we have some really secret and highly proprietary stuff in there. :) Sorry, that is just an oversight, not meant to be like that.

#13Next time when you ask for feedback for a site that requires registration, please provide a few demo logins we can play with.
Or just make the registration simple . Ask for a username and password and nothing more.
thats all there is to the registration, an email address and password. With that the user can save their work history from which their graph is built. they can then find companies that are in their graph, get feeds from those companies regarding milestones and openings and save companies of interest. keep track of companies they submitted their resume to. they also can edit and add companies to the database,

#14"Out of 350 or so visitors, we got 4 sign ups" The ycnews crowd may not be your target audience. Perhaps they they are too busy hacking their own stuff to bother researching other startups :)
This is dead on. A site has to be extremely innovative and useful for me to sink even the time to register into it. Conversely, even a decently useful-looking site with an overly complex registration process usually gets bypassed as well.
Extremely fast-registering sites (like Hacker News, for example) have spoiled me. ;)
