#4Also after looking at your landing page I have no clue what the service does. You say "Ride, Rent, and experience a new way to travel." This doesn't tell me much, other than it does something cool, why not just tell me the #1 benefit to using this service?

#6I clicked "What's around me?" and immediately I liked the feedback "locating...", felt really snappy for some reason. The geolocation was good (within 200m which is plently for what you're selling). The results were interesting ("Oh there's someone offering a ride to Finland, how cool").
Only at that point did I figure out what you were selling, so you definitely need to work on your copy on the landing page ("Ride, rent, and experience a new way to travel" doesn't cut it, more like "Find rides for sales and appartements for rent from multiple sources near you").
I'm not familiar with the space, so I can't comment on how good the idea is (i.e. what your competition is), but it sounds like a good idea and nice execution.
A suggestion: maybe make it automatically locate me, and show something like 5 results on the landing page already, without the map but just in a nice list, to "show" what you're offering instead of telling through copy, and with a link "See overview" or "See more" or something.
An interface thingy: The flash messages in the bottom right didn't catch my eye at all until I scanned the map and saw them. My eyes were in the top left so they don't even appear in my peripheral vision to catch my attention

#8Cool concept, but I'm not exactly sure what your service is trying to do from just a quick glance at the home page; as corylehey said, you may want to change your call to action to something that describes the main benefits.

#9Really like the What's Around Me button. It's a good way to immediately show people what outpost can do for them. Before clicking it I wasn't sure, as the homepage copy is a bit vague.
