#2Congrats on the launch guys! Getting everyone on the meeting team to buy into using this tool is key. I had pretty good success with using Etherpad for this purpose - found less resistance to using it since it was dead simple.

#3"This mode also includes a timer at the top of the screen that helps you keep track of how long you’ve spent on a given topic so that you don’t run over time."
Makes me think of Pardon the Interruption on espn (one of my favorite tv shows). Smart idea.

Also similar to something Google often does in meetings (according to some article I've read on here). They just project a giant timer on one wall. I can't remember if it's usually timing the meeting as a whole or one section.

#7Great app. I like the interface, it seems simple and easy to use, and I dont think it'll be too hard to get everyone in my company to use it.

#8This is exactly the technique that the more efficient managers I know use: make people commit to exactly what they want to say and discuss at the meeting beforehand.

#10"MeetingMix charges meeting creators $4.95 a month"
I like the pricing which is so low (especially for the app which is aimed at busy corporates for whom probably $5 is worth less the time it takes them to yawn). Shawn, would be interested in your comments on how you arrived at the pricing?
