Hi All,

I launched thatsmymouse.com this morning. Mashable posted a very positive review; http://mashable.com/2008/01/31/thatsmymouse/

I read news.yc everyday (or all day as the case may be), so if you have any questions feel free to post them here.

Nice - I can see using this with my older relatives that live far away =)

hey, congrats, looks cool! I would suggest that the map demo connect users to each other rather than forcing them to invite others (though you should keep that potion)... that way people can use it without going through the hassle of inviting a friend.

Yeah, that would be a good idea. I wanted to do it for launch, but didn't have time to put it together. I might give it a go today.

Interesting concept. In the Google maps demo, is it possible to add comments to the pins? That would be very useful I believe.

This is pretty cool. Congrats, I particularly enjoy that you have a chat function built in to speak to other users who may be clicking around.

Map fight!

besides aws - what did you use to build this?

Typo on the front page does not inspire confidence (but it happens to the best of us.): "ThatsMyMouse is live! You can now add ThatsMyMouse to you site. Let us know what you think in our blog."

Aaaaand wtf is with the creepy pics of young girls looking into the camera all over the site? This is a good idea* in need of a GUI designer and a copy writer.

*If it's good enough, the rest of this sentence may not matter.

Oh, and I'm not all piss and vinegar: the chat is pretty smooth and nicely implemented.

>Aaaaand wtf is with the creepy pics of young girls looking into the camera all over the site?

That was my initial reaction, too. Unless there's a specific reason you're trying to target teen girls and no one else, you might mix it up a bit.

There are guys! And a cat!

Yeah it's creepy, but it has a low bounce rate :)
