That name makes no since for this app IMO

The lettering in the logo suggests a cold experience; it's So... brr.

Was the low battery (19%) in the demonstration intentional? It is probably realistic, but there's an xkcd about that, which is never a good sign. Except when it is. http://xkcd.com/1373/

Lol. Funny one. At least it shows the screenshots are not fake. Lol

I think this is a great app and an interesting idea, but one of the few projects where I could see the name being a problem for traction and success. A more generic name, which doesnt associate neccessarily with parties and drinking, would enable more people to take this app serious. And well, like for all social apps, I really hope that more plattforms are very close on your roadmap =) Why wasnt a web-based approach…

Many thanks for pointing out the name part. The android version should be soon released, targeted this September.

Write the whole pitch/description in text, because otherwise you'll lose the people who can't or won't be able to watch the video: people at work, libraries, auditoriums, etc.

I'm okay with the name; it's the .me domain that's weird to me.

This. I'm currently in Germany on the world's shittiest 3G connection, and anything over 10kB is a deal-breaker for me.
