I submitted a request for an invite, but I have a couple questions. Do you guys have a "light" mobile-version of your interface? What do you offer over Twitter and other would-be Twitter-killers?

I love your page design - it's beautiful. Have given you my email address for an invite & look forward to trying it out.

I think it would have been better to wait until you are allowing users to sign up before posting to news.yc - apart from your very nice design I can't really give you the user feedback you are asking for.

Looks pretty nice. Twitter clone with a cute name.

How are you testing the scaling ability?

We have run some tests ... but lack of funds means that we have to be very very careful about our feature sets ... everything is designed to be as offline whenever possible
