#33very neat UI.
I personally found it terrible. It didn't completely fit in the small window I opened it in at first (the "scroll down" text was not visible), and when I made it full screen, most of the screen was just white (and the flying elements weren't even hidden outside the actual view area). If you scroll it with the mouse wheel, or spacebar, it just looks ugly. It didn't even advice you to scroll in the right way.
The "scroll down" text isn't visible here either. Full-screen Chrome, 1440x900.

#34One of the worst cases of overusing parallax scrolling I've ever seen. Edit: parallax/tacky, call it what you wish. I was thinking of this while writing the comment: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/ (note: every great thing can be ruined my misuse, I like that library.)
In general I find parallax scrolling to be an absolutely infuriating user experience.
Very low FPS, jerky, and I have to repeatedly stress out my index finger spinning the scroll wheel.

Seems like it's not "live", so you can post tracks and people can listen later. You don't need to be doing both at the same time.

On Phonoblaster it's actually "live" but your music selection is being broadcast on a continuous loop and not just once, so yes people can listen to it later.

#38The fact that people react so strongly to this means he's onto something. Also, there is no parallax scrolling here.
Besides, this is a very nice direction for web design to move toward. The product itself is simple, nice, well executed, with a clearly framed value proposition. Kudos. Keep working on this.

#39Not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing, because it doesn't work at all in Safari on my iPad running iOS 5.1.1, in either portrait or landscape orientation.
