    I like the site, the ideal is very unique IMO.
    Domain name: EXCELLENT - I don't think you could have come up with a better one. Excellent branding potential.

    Things I would consider

    1) Privacy policy, terms of use etc - normal legal drab to protect yourself.
    2) Frontpage details - A rich description of the site and it's use/function on the front page.
    3) I love the ideal of simple, more color and some small images on the site will really accent the site nicely.

    IMO your site has huge potential.
    Good luck on it!

    It's like www.postwhatyouthink dot com if you do what they do and allow people to edit posts after a week that may make users come back-

    interesting site, but it's completely another concept, nothing similar to www.postsimple.com :)

    didn't really want to bump it, believe it or not, but I hate bumping my own threads.. :eek:

    But I did quite a lot of changes and added comments, so you can comment on every post now..

    What do you think? Any more suggestions.. :p

    Where is the viral element? (ie, email this post to 5 friends... copy this code to put this post and comments on your Myspace, etc)

    I occasionally have a good idea... now I'm done for the day.



    ... oh damn one more.. I would track unique IPs to each post (cookie user on view, increment counter only if not cookied) and then display the most viewed posts... but do it so people can't hit refresh 100x and bring theirs to the top

    yeah, that was the original idea, but I thought it would just incourage more spam, like pron and vaigra lol.. automated scripts etc.. but I'll probably put it on at the end too :)

    I dunno why I'm so attracted to posting ideas in your thread, but......

    Take what you have and translate it into an image generator. Take people's messages and "write" them onto a graphic chalkboard using imagecreatefromjpeg and other PHP tools. If not the whole message, you could do your front page like that-- the latest messages written in grafitti on a brick wall, or chalk on a chalkboard, etc.

    Or.... (I've seen this dugg before, but still cool).... make the latest messages write out on to an LED screen. Put this LED scroller into a window on a street. Point a webcam at the window. Voila.. people's postsimple's appear on the LED and to the world.

    ha can't believe i forgot about this site for 7 months! :D

    http://www.postsimple.com/

    well there was quite a lot of autosubmissions spam lately so I've installed new strong captchas on posts and comments, lets see them try it now ;)

    Any other suggestions how to improve it are highly appreciated :)
