I have reorganized the page.

What you really need to do is make a screencast demo explaining from the VERY beginning a) what is the problem b) how juwo solves it. In very plain language with in screen demo. For a sample look at Mosoto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpuU4l_4Nr0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmosoto%2Ecom%2F You don't have to be anywhere near as crisp as these guys. If you can answer what's the problem and how juwo solves it in 2minutes you'l…

I am thinking of doing a screencast for each of the demos and putting it by the demo.

I dont have any presentation scheduled - but you do! (best wishes with it at YC). publisher: ABC, BBC, CNN, youtube etc... consumer: you, me, joe, jane, hari, harry. By "powerful", I am talking about how it can ease problems first, and scale second.

But you haven't convinced me I have a problem--let alone Juwo can solve it. It could be that I'm not the primary audience which is why I asked you to define it AS specific as you can. You're still swimming in vagueness friend...

No post body was provided.

why does Jesus make you and others so angry? I will bet $10 that if instead, it were a short para on Hinduism or Buddhism (and I dare say, even Islam), no one would have been so hostile.

No one here is offended by your religious beliefs. They just don't have a place on a commercial website, unless you are providing a service only for a group of like minded people and then done right your comments may even be welcome.

"They just don't have a place on a commercial website"

why not?

Because they turn many people away. You asked for our feedback and several people made a big deal about it. Listen to us, trust us, your project needs all the help it can get. Don't make more reasons to turn people away.

I have to be honest I don't know what is Juwo. The exercise was not to tell ME about Juwo but to in general clarify for everyone here. I do hope you'll be able to answer those questions here at some point.

Too many words! This is my most common criticism for evaluating an interface. If you need so many words on the home page to describe how to do something or what it is, then it's not easy enough. Remember you only have about 20 seconds of somebody's attention before they decide to click away. I got lost pretty quick (and I'm actually pretty smart). The crap about Jesus on the about page turned me off, too. You're welc…

As an intellectual person, I find blind faith in Christianity outright offensive. It doesn't make any sense to base your world view on the mythology of a Bronze Age people.

Honestly, I'm glad that you have the right to spread the good word on your website. But it's so rare I get to interact with a real, live Christian that I delight in the opportunity. Maybe we can both gain something.

So let's talk. Why do you believe in the god of the Christians to the exclusion of all the others?

Thanks for being the first public to drive it!. Try the BBC demo. it is video - or pretty American Idol Katharine McPhee.

For the BBC demo page, how about isolating the clip you want to show, perhaps surrounded by whitespace, but with a juwo page header? (i.e., make it clear this page still belongs in the juwo site, and you've just sampled a small part of the BBC page) People with ADD like me will start reading the news ticker or some of the other stories (seriously, I had to back up twice to figure out what I supposed to click on!). Al…

"people not running XP and using Java plugins in their browser"

were you able to install/run juwo? the BBC demo?

Here is why I put that controversial paragraph:

"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns [is ashamed of] me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven." [Jesus]
