Web app feedback (intelligent chatting system)
mechanical_fish: I rather like it. No idea if it will take off or anything, but it's really nice.Your approach to user signup is superb.There should be an explicit "tag this conversation" link. Otherwise nobody will even know that they can do that.Can I post a link to an ongoing conversation in some other place, like Twitter or, say, here?The "Theory" page is... a bit too theoretical. I mean, everyone here will get it, but not the mass market. I doubt that many AOL Chat users understand what "asynchronous" means. Don't delete the existing page... just make a slightly simpler, shorter Theory page and relegate the existing text to a second-level "Theory of the Theory" page.Other than that... it's hard to know what to critique. Many of the essential design features of such a site will only become obvious when it's flooded with traffic or overwhelmed by griefers. That's hard to test. Maybe you should start a really provocative conversation and then post a Digg link to it. ;)
