3 weeks into my startup, Howl.com, need your thoughts

[CoryL]

Hey namepro'ers,

My partner and I are about 3 weeks full time into our startup. We're both 22, fresh out of college and have always had web projects over the past few years. This time its more serious, we want to make a living out of our startup.

Its been a few weeks (including weekends) and we're ready to start getting people to critique, test, and feedback our project.

The site is Howl.com - Link Blogging. Its a link blogging service for people who like to share links but are too lazy to start blogging. You just paste the URL and we'll do the rest. We'd appreciate if you could give it a test run, try posting a few URLs, tell us what you think about the user experience and process, and idea as a whole. We can take the criticism

I know theres lots of smart ideas and opinions out there, we'd love to hear it. Thank you so much for your time.

PS. If you don't want to register, you can use (demo // asdfasdf) to login.

Hi,

I think its a very interesting idea, like twitter for links. I think you can make the front page a little more interesting, maybe making the logo bigger so I don't forget that I was just howlin'. I like the concept though. Im 23 myself and I admire the fact that you've decided to become a serious entrepreneur. Its a great domain name and a cool idea. Good luck to you! You have +1 member

I would have to agree that the home page is very plain. Yet, simple and straight forward. Would like to see the logo bigger, something to remind me just exactly what site I am on.

Love the connection to facebook. I just may utilize your services provided on Howl.

Great potential I think...

Building on what others have already mentioned.

Where is your logo my friend? . With a kick ass domain like that you need a logo that pops and it should be in the top left area of your screen.

Sites like Digg revolve around categories and community. If you want your post to be seen, it has be upvoted/dugg. Our service is a bit more personal, you share with followers, its public, and more on the way.
