    Hi all!

    I started http://www.namemynumber.com some days ago.
    I acctualy don't want to describe here what is does, at least not yet...:p


    You see, my problem is that 80% of all the people that I have shown the page to, don't get what it does.
    I want people to understand the consept of the "service" just by reading one or two lines of text.
    I appearantly have not been able to do that with my current description.

    I really hope some of you can have a look at it and see if you understand what it does. It's the "PimpIt" - Pimp my number feature on the front page.

    Do you have any suggestions of how I can describe what this does in one or two "catchy" lines?

    Thank you for any feedback!

    regards,
    misterBee

    Actually i did had fun with your site! :)
    cool feature there, but i think you should discard results with only 1 or 2 char in it ;)

    Add an example line might help (instead of using (Like: Just call "555-fastcar", or "0800-8ball"))
    Nice content and nice idea!

    I used the tool on the site but I don't understand it? I don't understand the purpose behind it?

    I think that is a fun "time-waster" and should draw some visitors. Maybe I'll ask you for a link soon! Nice design, too.

    Yes I think an example may help alwell.

    This is a very unique idea for a site. The text should say something like "what does your phone number spell" or " See if your phone number spell any cool words" you get the idea. Personally I think you should change all the numbers even it it does'nt spell and words. Keep working on it I can see great things for this site.

    Hi, again!
    Sorry for bringing back this old thread, but I've done some changes since the thread start.
    I'd really love some more feedback. (See first post for link)

    By the way, if you try the "PimpIt" function, the result list contains a hyperlink which enables "drilldown" of search results.

    Thanks, folks!

    regards,
    misterBee

    As matey above said get rid of the 2 or even 3 letter ones and make it available for different languages. Link Swedish, German, UK (which dont display correctly)
    Other than that cool little tool dude, redditers would prolly love it
