Great site! I share some of the sentiments here about the hills being a distraction and also would like to see some sort of demo that shows a typical session. I'd also like to see your "About" page more prominently displayed, instead of being embedded in a text link that I had to find like an easter egg lol.

My question is this (and I'm not so sure if this is proper to ask), but is there a pricing structure? What might your revenue model for this be like?

Thanks. As for HootSuite: not really. A couple of users have been confused so far, but that's it. We're using the owl because it's a bird (and we're using Twitter) and because of the associations with wisdom/learning.

You just described several conflicting areas and examples of user confusion. If you stick with this name, tread very carefully.

Or you can make me an offer on classtalk.net ;)

Excellent design/graphics.

I would suggest making the description of what the site does a little longer (not too long though). Example:

"Supplement face-to-face classes with a HootCourse and get to know each other faster." ... add another sentence or two here so I don't have to click around too much to get a little more info on this sentence.

That was my first impression at least.
